Viruses, malware, trojans, worms! These evil things can penetrate your computer through numerous ways like internet browsing, from USB devices, phishing link in your email and also by installing infected software.
Most of these viruses make your computer slow and eat up valuable memory as well as storage space. Some more powerful viruses are meant to contaminate our operating system too and steal personal information and banking data.
The conventional method to identify and remove such unwanted program from your computer is to install an anti-virus software and scan your computer for any viruses/trojans/worms that exist and quarantine them.
However, there are some computer users out there who use unconventional methods to find such virus. Today we are discussing such an unconventional method by using Command Prompt or DOS Prompts to identify and remove such virus.

The method is simple and straight which even a layman computer user can proceed with, just follow the steps given below :
How To Remove Computer Viruses Using CMD
The Command Prompt or CMD/DIS Prompt is a command line utility program on Windows 10. Though the command prompt is rarely used by layman PC/laptop users, it is a powerful utility in the hands of pro hackers.
CMD has access to reconstruct all Windows system files by using various attributes like removing the hidden attributes which a virus normally uses.
One of the leading causes of virus infections in computers and the CMD method work on USB to remove its viruses and secure your computer.
Steps To Remove Computer Viruses Using Command Prompt:
Step 1. Click on Start and type cmd. Now right click on the cmd icon and select run as administrator. Running the command as administrator is important as you need to access the system files which are not usually visible in guest accounts. Now command prompt window will open, now select your drive from which you want to remove a virus.
Step 2. Let us suppose your USB has a virus and your USB drive is F. Type “F:” without quotation on Command line.
Step 3. Now the C: will change to F: Now you need to type “dir F:” in CMD and hit enter. It will show you the directory of F drive.
Step 4. So now type the following command to show all the hidden and system files on your USB drive. Type “dir F: attrib -s -h /s /d*.*” without quotations and press enter. Typing this command will explore your selected drive and will load all the files including hidden and system files on your drive.
Step 5. In this window, you will notice unusual file.exe and extension if your computer has been infected with a virus like the dreaded autorun.inf virus. Rename it using this command line rename filename.extension new filename. Usage > C://rename autorun.inf (new filename)
That’s it! Now you can identify all the viruses in your PC and USB and delete them without any help of anti-virus software. You can delete the autorun.inf by typing in the command “del autorun.inf” or del :”yourfilename”
I tried executing the commands,and this is what i got…parameter format not correct- “d*.*”.

Worms is a series of artillerytacticalvideo games developed by British company Team17. Players control a small platoon of worms across a deformable landscape, battling other computer- or player-controlled teams. The games feature bright and humorous cartoon-style animation and a varied arsenal of bizarre weapons.
The game, whose concept was devised by Andy Davidson, was described by the Amiga gaming press as a cross between Cannon Fodder and Lemmings.[1] It is part of a wider genre of turn-based artillery games involving projectile weapons; similar games include Scorched Earth (1991), Gorillas (1991) and Artillery Duel (1983).

Other games based on the Worms concept include Liero, Wurmz! and Gusanos, which make use of real-time rather than turn-based gameplay.
Collections[edit]
A compilation, entitled Worms United, was released in 1996 for DOS and included Worms and its expansion Worms Reinforcements. A compilation, entitled The Full Wormage, was later released in 1998 for DOS and Windows and included Worms United, Worms 2 and Worms Pinball. On August 31, 2012, Worms Collection was released for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.[7]
Gameplay[edit]
The fully deformable landscape can be radically altered by the use of weapons, often requiring players to scrap their plans and adopt new strategies to cope with the changes.
Worms games are turn-based artillery games presented in 2D or 3D environment. Each player controls a team of several worms. During the course of the game, players take turns selecting one of their worms. They use whatever tools and weapons are available to attack and kill the opponents' worms, thereby winning the game. Worms may move around the terrain in a variety of ways, normally by walking and jumping but also by using particular tools such as the 'Bungee' and 'Ninja Rope', to move to otherwise inaccessible areas. Each turn is time-limited to ensure that players do not hold up the game with excessive thinking or moving. The time limit can be modified in some of the games.
Over fifty weapons and tools may be available each time a game is played, and differing selections of weapons and tools can be saved into a 'scheme' for easy selection in future games. Other scheme settings allow options such as deployment of reinforcement crates, from which additional weapons can be obtained, and sudden death where the game is rushed to a conclusion after a time limit expires. Some settings provide for the inclusion of objects such as land mines and explosive barrels.
When most weapons are used, they cause explosions that deform the terrain, creating circular cavities. The types of playable terrains include 'island' (terrain floating on a body of water), or 'cave' (cave with water at the bottom and terrain at both top and bottom of the screen that certain weapons such as 'Air Strike' cannot go through; this type is not available in 3D versions due to camera restrictions). If a worm is hit with a weapon, the amount of damage dealt to the worm will be removed from the worm's initial amount of health. The damage dealt to the attacked worm or worms after any player's turn is shown when all movement on the battlefield has ceased.
Worms die when one of the following situations occurs:
- When a worm enters water (either by falling off the island, through a hole in the bottom of it, or by the waterline's being raised above the worm during sudden death)
- When a worm is thrown off either side of the arena
- When a worm's health is reduced to zero
The random map generator provides a limitless supply of colourful terrains of various themes. Open island maps, like this one, allow players to use airstrikes. Cavern maps have a near-indestructible roof which cannot be easily passed.
Weapons and tools[edit]
The Worms series is notable for its extensive variety of weapons. With each new game that is released, weapons are added, though many were removed in the 3D versions for gameplay reasons. As a result, the 2D series has accumulated 60 weapons, and the 3D series 40 weapons.
The weapons available in the game range from a standard timed grenade and homing missiles to exploding sheep and the highly destructive Banana Bomb, both of which have appeared in every Worms game so far. The Worms series has seen weapons such as the iconic Holy Hand Grenade, the Priceless Ming Vase and the Inflatable Scouser.
Some of the bizarre weapons in a particular game are based on topical subjects at the time of the game's release.[8] The Mail Strike, for example, which consists of a flying postbox dropping explosive envelopes, is a reference to the postal strikes of the time, while the Mad Cow refers to the BSE epidemic of the 1990s. The French Nuclear Test, introduced in Worms 2, was updated to the Indian Nuclear Test in Worms Armageddon to keep with the times.
Other weapons are inside jokes. The MB Bomb, for example, which floats down from the sky and explodes on impact, is a cartoon caricature of Martyn Brown, Team17's studio director. Other such weapons include the 'Concrete Donkey', one of the most powerful weapons in the game, which is based on a garden ornament in Andy Davidson's home garden, and an airstrike known in the game as Mike's Carpet Bomb was actually inspired by a store near the Team17 headquarters called 'Mike's Carpets'.[9]
Since Worms Armageddon, weapons that were intended to aid as utilities rather than damage-dealers were classified as tools. This classification mainly differs in the fact that they do not fall in ordinary weapon crates, and instead appear in toolboxes. Many tools were left in the wrong class for the sake of keyboard-shortcut conveniences. This was resolved in Worms 3D.
Some weapons were inspired from popular films and TV programs, including the Holy Hand Grenade (from Monty Python and the Holy Grail) and Ninja Rope (named the Bat Rope in early demos of the original game).[10]
Audio[edit]
One of the defining features of the Worms series is its light-hearted audio. Although the first few Worms games used darker, more authentic battlefield sounds for its ambient music, all of the games included a large number of high-pitched catchphrases shouted by the worms during the course of battle, such as 'I'll get you!', 'Revenge!', 'Stupid!' and 'Bombs away!'.
Worms & Reinforcements United and its sequels gave players the ability to pick between a variety of speech sets (called 'sound banks') for each platoon of worms. Many were based on regional accents, such as 'The Raj' and 'Angry Scots', while others, like 'Drill Sergeant', made use of stereotypes. Players could even record their own speech sets and use those instead.
The ambient and theme music for Worms 2, Worms Armageddon, Worms World Party and, in part, Worms 3D, was entirely provided by Bjørn Lynne.
The whole Worms series has a light-hearted theme song, known as the Wormsong.
History[edit]
A screenshot of Total Wormage, before it was renamed Worms.
The game was created by Andy Davidson[11] as an entry for a Blitz BASIC programming competition run by the Amiga Format magazine, a cut-down version of the programming language having been covermounted previously. The game at this stage was called Total Wormage (possibly in reference to Total Carnage) and it did not win the competition. Davidson sent the game to several publishers with no success. He took the game to the European Computer Trade Show, where Team17 had a stand. Team17 made an offer on-the-spot to develop and publish the game.[12][13]
The first Worms game featured darker tones than later Worms games, with more realistic effects for weapons rather than cartoon-style effects, and the ambient sound of a battlefield.
It subsequently evolved into a full commercial game, renamed Worms, available initially for the Commodore Amiga. As the game was popular, it was regularly released for other platforms including MS-DOS- and Macintosh-based computers, Atari Jaguar, Mega Drive/Genesis, Dreamcast, Nintendo 64, Game Boy, Game Boy Color and Game Boy Advance, GameCube, Nokia N-Gage, SNES, PlayStation and PlayStation 2, Sega Saturn, Pocket PC, and Xbox.
During the development of Worms 2, Andy Davidson wrote Worms: The Director's Cut, a special edition produced l for the Amiga. This was, in his eyes, the pinnacle of the series.[14] Featuring weapons not seen in any Worms game before or since, it looks like an enhanced version of the original game. Five thousand copies were sold.[15] It was also the last version released for the Commodore Amiga platform from which the game originated.
New engine[edit]
The engine was redesigned using Microsoft's DirectX for Worms 2, dropping the darker tones of the first generation and adopting a more cartoonish look along the way-made possible by newer technology. Worms 2 marked the direction which the series would take from then on. The second Worms version is by far the most customisable of the Worms games, with an extensive set of detailed settings and toggles. Worms 2 also introduced internet play, which has since become a staple in the series. Worms 2 saw the return and enhancements of its predecessor's arsenal (e.g., the Banana Bomb -> Super Banana Bomb), as well as the addition of new weapons and tools. The game's interface is very dated by today's standards, resembling more of a generic Windows application than the colourful screens in later releases.
Worms Armageddon was initially intended to be released as an expansion pack for Worms 2, but was released as a stand-alone game when it exceeded all expectations. Worms Armageddon included 33 in-depth missions in an extensive and elaborate campaign, along with training missions, a 'deathmatch' feature, some new graphics and sounds, and a few new weapons and utilities. Much of the customization of Worms 2 was removed, as Team17 thought that the interface would become cluttered and overwhelming.
Worms Armageddon also included a much more organized and functional internet play service, known as 'WormNET', which required registration and provided leagues and ranks. Problems with cheating led to the removal of the leagues, but their re-introduction is planned in a series of updates that have provided the game with more customization.[16] Other more subtle changes to the game include new physics to the ninja rope, and the removal of an in game glitch that allowed players to inflict huge damage to another worm, by aiming the mortar (a common weapon with high ammo) vertically above another player. The mortar shell would then return to earth and create a small but incredibly powerful explosion. In Worms Armageddon, the mortar shell would fall slightly to either side of the target worm if the same glitch was tried. Also, the booby-trapped crates were removed as Team17 deemed them 'unfair'.
A Worms Armageddonscreensaver was included with a release bundling the title with Addiction Pinball. The compilation, The Armageddon Collection, is out of print.
Worms World Party was originally designed for Dreamcast console to make use of its online capabilities, but was also released for the PlayStation and PC with new missions, a mission editor, and some extra customization. This was also released later in 2005 for the N-Gage Game Deck. A new feature, the WormPot, was added in all versions of the game except for the Dreamcast release, where it was omitted. With no new weapons, graphics or sounds.
The extensive customization of the 2D series, along with good online play support, has led to enduring popularity. A variety of unusual 'schemes' have been developed by the WormNET community that are often played instead of the official schemes created by Team17.[17] Some schemes have 'rules' agreed to by the players but not enforced by the game itself.[18]
3D series[edit]
In 2003, Worms 3D was released for PlayStation 2, Nintendo GameCube, Macintosh, Windows, and Xbox. This was the first game in the series to bring the characters into a three-dimensional environment. It features a 'poxel' engine, described as a hybrid of polygons and voxels (the 3D analogues of pixels). This allows for pseudo-realistic terrain deformation similar in style to the 2D games, in which the terrain was represented by a bitmap.
Worms 4 Mayhem introduced larger maps with a height-map instead of pixels for the ground, in an effort to remove the excessive drowning of worms in Worms 3D.
The second 3D game in the series was Worms Forts: Under Siege, for PlayStation 2, Xbox and PC. It was released in November 2004 and features the biggest deviation from the traditional gameplay that the series has so far seen. Players' worms are able to build forts, and the objective of the game has shifted from simply killing the enemy worms, as players can win a game by destroying the opponent's fort. Due to the change in strategy, this game could be seen more as a spin-off — though some aspects like the customizable costumes were carried into Worms 4: Mayhem.
Worms 4: Mayhem was released in 2005. It was a revamp of the original Worms 3D engine, featuring smoother terrain deformation and improved graphics, resulting in a more polished feel closer to the second generation Worms games. The gameplay is much the same as it was in Worms 3D, but new gameplay modes and weapons have been introduced, and the user interface has been improved and simplified. New features include the ability to select customized costumes for teams, and the ability to create custom weapons.
Worms Ultimate Mayhem was released in 2011. It was a revamp of the original Worms 3D and Worms 4: Mayhem engine, and it was released on Microsoft Windows, Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network.
New 2D era[edit]
Worms: Open Warfare, for the PlayStation Portable and the Nintendo Ds, was specifically designed for the handheld systems and was released in March 2006. The game is considered to be a remake of the first Worms game, featuring enhanced graphics but no new weapons. The game has received mixed reviews.[19]
Worms: Open Warfare 2 for the PSP and DS is the sequel to Worms: Open Warfare. It was released on August 31, 2007 in Europe, and it was released in the U.S. later on September 6, 2007.
Worms was developed by Team17 for release on Xbox Live Arcade. Worms was released on March 7, 2007. It was released on PSN on March 26, 2009 in the US and April 2009 in the UK.
Worms: A Space Oddity was developed by Team17 for Nintendo's Wii system, using a modified version of the Worms: Open Warfare 2 engine. The game was released in March 2008, with a science fiction theme.
Worms 2: Armageddon was developed by Team17 for Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network. The game is inspired by Worms Armageddon's success, and tries to mimic the game's physics and several other aspects, such as the variety of available weapons. Several new weapons are also available, such as a gas pump which fills underground tunnels with poison gas.[20][21]
Worms Reloaded was developed and published by Team17 for the PC. It was released on 26 August 2010.[22] It is an extended port version of the game Worms 2: Armageddon which was released for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, and so it has returned to the original 2D format, unlike the last three PC games.
Worms: Battle Islands was developed by Team17 and published by THQ and it was released on the Wii and PlayStation Portable.
Worms Revolution was released in 2012. It was released on Microsoft Windows, Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network. It was made as a 2.5D game, enabling players to play in a 3D world viewed from a 2D perspective.
Worms Clan Wars was released in 2013 for PC.
Worms Battlegrounds was released in 2014 for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
Worms W.M.D was released in 2016 for Linux, macOS, PlayStation 4, Windows and Xbox One. It was released for the Nintendo Switch in 2017.
Cancelled games[edit]
In 2003, the company cancelled Worms Battle Rally,[23] a karting game that allowed for fragging opponents.
Reception[edit]
While the first versions of the game were generally praised, the series has since been criticized for the lack of meaningful additions. In 2001, Metacritic quoted Worms World Party reviews with comments such as 'it's virtually nothing more than an expansion pack for Worms Armageddon' and, as ActionTrip's Dejan Grbavcic put it, 'And I thought that only Eidos was impertinent enough to keep selling the same game with a slightly different name...'.[24] In 2007, IGN included the Worms series in its list of game franchises that have jumped the shark.[25]
Sales[edit]
The Worms series are commercially successful. Its combined sales by January 2002 had reached 6 million copies.[26] By May 2014, 60 million copies of the games in the Worms franchise had been sold since launching in 1995.[27] By December 2015, the 25th anniversary of Team17, a total of 70 million copies of the games in the franchise had been sold and freely downloaded.[28]
