Guest dkstockstill Posted August 19, 2007 Posted August 19, 2007 I'm fairly sure I have some type of virus because the files didn't change color until I was looking at and throwing out old floppies. I checked the folder and the compression option is not checked. My virus software said that it caught and cleaned the file, but ever since then files turn blue. If you rename them, they stay black for a little while. I have McAfee and it says my drive is clean. I also have disappearing windows components. I had to reinstall outlook express yesterday. What on earth should I do? -- That''s what I said!
