DOWNLOAD ZIP FILE ATTACHED CONTAINING VBS FILE FOR USE ON WINDOWS
Note: The download file is based on the Technet Script shown below, except that the Echo Confirm Deletion line has been commented-out. This is a good way to selectively delete those rogue .htaccess files that have been injected into every sub-folder of your website. Make sure you test this script on a PC on which it will not matter if you happen to mistakenly delete the entire system. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. BE VERY CAREFUL. IF YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND THE CODE IN THE SCRIPT, THEN DON’T RUN IT.
