I have a question related to this subject; C:\Windows\pchealth\helpctr\Datacoll [What
is this?]
C:\Windows\Prefetch\Layout.ini [What is this?]
C: \Windows\System Volume Information\_restore {CD4C...[total of 29 listed][What
is this?]
\Windows\PCHANDLER\HELPCTR\DataColl\C...[same here]
\Program Files\Common Files\Symantec Share...
\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 7.0\Reader\V...
\Documents and Settings \All Users \Application...
\Documents and Settings \Betty\Application. . . [A total of 12] are corrupted and
defragmenting doesn't clean them up. I ran Ad-Aware SE and Spybot and they eliminated
some. How do I remedy this problem? I read somewhere else it was a Trojan Horse
problem.
Would a Registery Fix program help me? Anyway help will be appreciated.
