I couldn't find the hidden files that Cnet said I should look for...which makes me very nervous.

Are you using Windows2000? There's an undocumented registry setting known as "super hidden," which will hide files from Explorer, even if you tell the system to show them. The only way to see them is by opening a command prompt and using DIR FILENAME /S /A /P . This was an exploit used by a number of the Nimda variants to really screw with me!

Thank you! Just as I finished posting my message it occurred to me that I hadn't searched for anything from just a command prompt. Knowing Windows, and its tendency to hide things from the user, I should have thought of that sooner. I have WindowsXP, which I'm sure has the same setup as Windows2000--or worse!

I'll go check for that right now...thanks for the tip!
