367061	2005-06-25 19:45:00	Hi, I am hoping you can help me with this problem. Having removed a Trojan Virus form my PC a month ago, I noticed this pop up message appearing "C:\$MFT corrupt and unreadable message, run checkdisk utility". I went on a few website and forums to try and see if other experienced similar problems. I have run the checdisk utility, but the message just keep appearing. So far I have not noticed any problems with performance, but it is preventing me from installing a windows update which holds the Window XP malicious removal tool. I have tried running mulitiple free softwares from last month Pc Pro DVD issue to remove this message, but it just won't go away. Upon booting up my PC, it shows a light blue screen running disk check and says thast the volume is dirty. Hope you can help me to resolve this problem. I have Windows XP with SP2. I have Norton Security 2005 as my Anti Virus software. Many Thanks Sol	Sol (7997)

As your system is still bootable, take this time to make sure you have backed up all your important data while you can. Maybe someone else has further suggestions?	Jen (38)
