Deepak,

     Are you running any Anti-Virus? If so, is it up to date with the latest definitions? If it is, then run the av scanner from Safe mode. If not or you cant get it to run in safe mode, then get a hold of a good DOS based Anti-virus program(i.e. f-prot)with current defs and scan your computer with that.

Try http://www.claymania.com/f-prot.html for f-prot links and info.

Post any results to the list.

Subject: Common Name Virus hides D:\ drive

Hi All,

I am in desperate need of help.
I use Kazaa to download documents, and since the past 2 days I have seen all
kinds of Spyware like Common Name / Mozilla files / Eula files etc... being
downloaded on my PC.

Today my D: Drive has all its files hidden (3GB of information) all renamed
/ hidden, and I am not able to see it through DOS / making the disk a Secondary Hard disk by adding another Windows disk as the Primary disk.. but
no luck.

Anyone hear of this before.
Please help.

Thanks in advance.
Regards
Deepak Vyas
