I have a virus on win 7's pagefil.sys, is it safe to delete the page file. I tried to do a repair, but it cannot be repaired.

788134 2009-07-02 07:37:00 The pagefile is completely erasable. Tell Windows to not use one (it'll go mad but oh well), reboot, delete the pagefile.sys (use your virus scanner to do it if you can't just do it), empty the Recycle Bin, reboot, and tell Windows to use a pagefile again and reboot (again).

That should get rid of it.
