I am trying to write a script that deletes certain files based on certain criteria.
What I am trying to do is to automate the process of deleting certain malware files that disguise themselves as system files and hidden files. When I use os.remove() after importing the os module is raises a Windows Error: Access denied probably because the files have disguised themselves as system files. Is there anway to get adequate privileges under windows to be able to delete system files from within a python script. I know it is probably a windows security feature but is there anyway to gain such privileges. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
