Perhaps what my friend was inferring is a 'passive scan'. Your hard 
drive is slaved to another PC with bitdefender 10 or similar. That is 
used to scan the infected drive while its files are 'inactive'. Anything 
not removed due to write protection can be 'unprotected' and then 
deleted or wiped. All you need to know is the file name and its 
location. The technique is well proven.
