You can certainly delete files on a FAT32 partition. I certainly am not telling you to use a script to delete files on your Windows system, as bad things can and do happen that way, as McAfee users are just finding out today! The concept works, but don't you suspect that software running under Linux is likely to recognize all of Windows as a virus and kindly remove it for you?
