Its probably in a folder called 'cache' or 'Win32'. Delete them both, just to be safe.

why dont you just delete "c:boot.ini" it saves the trouble.
this wil wipe your windows installation clean.

Avast! or AVG are the best virus scanners, and both come in free editions.

For the record, that doesn't wipe your windows install, it just removes all the entries from NTLDR, the bootloader, rendering windows unbootable, but not erased. It can easily be fixed by plugging in the HD into another computer and recreating the boot.ini (well, you have to know how, but...). Then your system is bootable again.

Wanna try something fun? Try making a file called "con". Should work on all versions of Windows.
