remove locked files [the easy way]

If you remember a weeks back I wrote about a way to delete or move a file on reboot.

so, why would you want to do that?... well the file is probably in use by an application or service that you can't seem to find (often because of maleware or a virus).

so this is where a free tool by malware bytes comes in - it is called FileAssassin.
It allows you to unlock any file in use, without the reboot.

1. Launch the application, and pick the file you want to remove: 
2. Select your options (Notice it can delete on reboot too) 
3. After you pick your file and options - execute. Now your file is unlocked, without a reboot. 

Download it from here: http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/fileassassin

It is free for commercial and personal use - so its another great tool to add to that flash drive that you can carry around :)
