FileASSASSIN is a light utility that allows users to gain access to corrupted files compromised by malicious software. The internet is filled with infinite amounts of data on virtually any imaginable subject. Unfortunately, the web is also filled with nefarious opportunists scouring the internet for vulnerabilities. The FileASSASSIN utility gives users the ability to scan the infected drive and identify files otherwise inaccessible or dangerous to access.

The interface layout of FileASSASSIN allows users to browse the hard drive and select infected files to perform six functions. By default, the FileASSASSIN radio button is selected to attempt to unlock infected files, unload modules, or terminate the files function. Each of the three default functions can be performed in concert or alone. There is also the option to delete the file permanently. The FileASSASSIN utility also includes two additional radio buttons to execute file deletion options; attempt to remove the infected file when the operating system reboots and standard file deletion.

FileASSASSIN also supports six command-line switches. The /unlock is used to open files, /assassinate is FileASSASSIN’s default file deletion action, /onreboot deletes files when the machine reboots, /delete performs the standard file deletion and /silent. FileASSASSIN is an excellent utility used in conjunction with other virus protection programs.
