I had the worm on my computer today and my boyfriend and
I got rid of it but before we did get rid of it, we
reinstalled windows xp again and all of the files that I
had under my old user name was password protected and now
I can't access them and I don't want to do a system
restore for fear of bringing back that nasty virus, what
should I do, if anything to get my files back. Very
important that I have them. Note: I was not able to
backup anything because of the virus, I could not stay
logged on long enough before to back up anything to a
disk, kept shutting me down. The files are still on my
computer and I was wondering how to gain access to them.
Pls help.
