Solve : Getting rid of an iso?

Answer»

Hello! How can I get rid of the windows iso that automatically appears when I start the computer ?

THANK you!

[RECOVERING disk space, attachment deleted by admin]Remove the DVD from the drive and re-boot...I do not have a physical dvd in the drive. I keep ejecting it, but whenever I start my computer is still there. I know, I am not that tech savvy ...Where did you get the ISO from?
What the OP has might be a kind of Malware.
Otherwise, somebody did a virtual drive, which is part of Windows 7.
EDIT: My bad.. Yoou have to get it fro a download.

Microsoft releases tool to mount .ISOs for Windows XP, Vista and 7

Did the OP use that tool?

It's a Windows 8 install disk image. It looks like a torrented file. To the OP: if you got this file by Bit Torrent, it is illegal and may contain malware.
Scheize ! I might have to RUN my antivirus again and see what is the matter. And any other ideas please on how to remove it? Quote from: Shamy on March 16, 2014, 03:42:24 PM

If you downloaded the ISO via Bit Torrent, then delete it!
Well that is what happens when you want to try something... I deleted the iso and downloaded MALWAREBYTES, also found some PUPs. But I think the issue is now fixed. Thank you again! Quote from: Shamy on March 16, 2014, 04:09:50 PM

That is what happens when you break the law.
Nothing will happen anyway, so don't need to worry about me  If the OP does not return -

Okay. The OP's problem has been solved and we're dealing with an illegal download, so I'm just going to lock the thread.
