want command lines .bat to search in all files in c:\ and if exist virus.bat 

 Del  virus.bat
set /a viruses=%viruses%+1
cls
echo Yoy are infected! The infected files ware deleted  !!
pause
goto Start

ELSE 

 cls
echo Your computer is clean!
pause
goto Start

i look in many web sites and got nothing ! :(

Solution

  • del /? could help. Then, use

    del /F /S c:\virus.bat &echo Your computer is clean!
pause
goto Start

    Output examples (another drive):

    ==>del /F /S d:\virus.bat &echo Your computer is clean!
Deleted file - d:\bat\virus.bat
Deleted file - d:\temp\virus.bat
Your computer is clean!

==>del /F /S d:\virus.bat &echo Your computer is clean!
Could Not Find d:\virus.bat
Your computer is clean!

    (In respond to your comment). The effect is the same: your computer could be clean as soon as infected files were deleted... :) However, if you do insist on exact wording, start with 

    set "virusfound="
for /F "delims=" %%G in ('dir /B /S "c:\virus.bat"') do (
   set "virusfound=%%G"
   del /F "%%~G"
)
if defined virusfound (
    echo virus found, did an attempt to delete it
) else (
    echo virus not found
)
