How to delete file in folder and sub folders?

I came across a virus that created some files in all my computer folder and sub folders. I luckly removed the virus using virus scan but some how could not delete the files via virus scanner. It was impossible for me to delete all the files manually.

Therefore i thought of writing a small visual basic script that cleans up all the files specified from windows folders and subfolders.

The vb .net code that deletes specified files from folders and sub folders is:

Private Sub DeleteFiles(ByVal Path As String)

Dim Directories As New IO.DirectoryInfo(Path)
Dim Directory As IO.DirectoryInfo

Dim strFile As String
Dim File As IO.FileInfo

Dim strErr1 As String = "index.php"
Dim strErr2 As String = "index.html"
Dim strErr3 As String = "index.htm"
Dim strErr4 As String = "index.cfm"
Dim strErr5 As String = "index.asp"
Dim strErr6 As String = "default.php"
Dim strErr7 As String = "default.html"
Dim strErr8 As String = "default.htm"
Dim strErr9 As String = "default.cfm"
Dim strErr10 As String = "default.asp"

For Each Directory In Directories.GetDirectories
For Each File In Directory.GetFiles
strFile = File.Name
If strFile = strErr1 Or strFile = strErr2 Then
File.Delete()
ElseIf strFile = strErr2 Then
File.Delete()
ElseIf strFile = strErr3 Then
File.Delete()
ElseIf strFile = strErr4 Then
File.Delete()
ElseIf strFile = strErr5 Then
File.Delete()
ElseIf strFile = strErr6 Then
File.Delete()
ElseIf strFile = strErr7 Then
File.Delete()
ElseIf strFile = strErr8 Then
File.Delete()
ElseIf strFile = strErr9 Then
File.Delete()
ElseIf strFile = strErr10 Then
File.Delete()
End If
Next
'ListBox1.Items.Add(Directory.Name)
If Directory.GetDirectories.Length > 0 Then
DeleteFiles(Directory.FullName)
End If
Next
End Sub

WinHttp.WinHttpRequest giving Error "Not enough storage is available to process this command" in ASP.net (solved)

I have a webservice written in Asp .net 2.0 that uses WinHttp.WinHttpRequest which is now giving me "Not enough storage is available to process this command"

while googling i found out microsoft website that tells to increase IRPStackSize value in the registry and restart the server. Changing the registry and restarting the production server for one application didn't seemed right to me.

It only happens in production server when there is heavy load on my web service.

This is solved in below Kb article
