Ok My ISP sent me an e-mail warning me that an e-mail from
my adress was sent containnig a virus: WORM_NETSKY.P. I
found this odd because I had a similar problem and had a
trojan horse, so i got an anti-virus installed and scan
now once a week. So I looked up the virus and downloaded
a removal program.
The program always got stuck at the temporary intenet
files folder it seemed to be going in a loop or on an on
for an hour. So I went to the folder and found about
27,000 files! I proceded to delete them manually, only
about 15 remained and the system refused to delete them.
So I ran scandisk. Same thing unable to read disk it said.
I got info on the folder and it tallied up a whopping 4
gigs, 47,000 files and 86 folders, all unviewable!
I might be that I had become some storage device for a
hacker. Now how do I remove these invisible files????
Thanks a million!
