To Whom This May Concern,
I had somehow became infected with a W32.Mydoom.A and
VBS.Stages.A and another over-writing VBS virus along with
SubSeven, Back Orifice 2000, OptixPro, and a couple others
that were detected as Backdoor.Trojan. A total of 91
infected files had to be deleted. All files were in the
C:\_RESTORE\TEMP directory so Windows ME protected them
and they could not be deleted by regular virus scanner so
I had to use F-Prot Virus Scanner for DOS and scan in DOS
mode to delete these viruses. But they did some hefty
damage. My main drive only has less than 1 GB free at 14.2
GB capacity. I did not have System Restore enabled at the
time because I had to disable it when I was attempting to
delete the infected files in the RESTORE directory. I am
just wondering how I can recover this disk space? All
viruses deleted now though. If someone could please help
me with this, it would be GREATLY appreciated!!! You can e-
mail me at: ryan_nyquist12@hotmail.com :) .

Thanks in advance!!!!
