Plugged in a network card and shared Cdrive, then scanned with NAV from a NTworkstation. Found the infection, most of which were cleaned. 6 files in the _restore\.. directory could not be deleted or repaired. Thought OK, go to ME machine find _Restore folder and delete manually. Whaddauknow - no _Restore directory off Cdrive. Any suggestions regards Don	Guest (0)

That will clear out all the restore history. PS. Dont forget to manually create a restore point when its working OK again. Dont rely on your pc to do it. Cheers.	Guest (0)

Wont let me delete those. -Or the log files. None of these were infected so wont worry at this stage. Another question, I'm getting an error message concerning purposes.exe. Is purposes.exe a ME file or is it generated by the virus? regards Don	Guest (0)
