The Avenger

Command Reference

How do I use it?

The source and destination paths should be separated by a pipe | symbol. Whitespace is ignored. "Files to move:" can be used as a generic renaming routine.

When do I use it?

I see three main uses for this command:

1. When you want to move a malicious file to a specific location. This basically amounts to the same command as "Files to delete:", except that you can redirect the backup operation to a location of your choice. Not hugely useful, I admit.

2. When you want to overwrite a malicious file with a legitimate one. For example, you might want to replace a virus-infected copy of an important Windows file with a clean copy from the Windows installation folder.

3. When you want to rename a malicious file. This is sometimes useful when malware has chosen a reserved filename to prevent deletion by Windows.

Anything else I should know?

This command cannot be used to move files from one drive or volume to another (for example, from C:\ to D:\ ).

Any special notes on syntax?

• The "Files to move:" command will interpret environmental variables (%systemdrive%, %windir%, etc.) correctly in both the source and destination paths.
