Question: how can I know if the documents I save, fotos, pdf's, favorite lits, etc., are clean or infected with whatever is causing the trouble?

then take a look in the windows folders, temp folders, and programs files. there is are exe files in there that you have to manually delete. if, you delete the wrong files, you just entered reformat land! I cant even begin to explain which ones are keepers and which ones are problems. if your looking at fdisk then why not take a learn.

try this place. follow the instructions. if might help you out. all the stuff is free.

Maybe that will get it. If not, here are a few websites about your virus. One of them certainly must have a freeware removal program or manual removal instructions.

I'm always trying Linux.

I'm in the not-trying mode at the moment until I read further
on using the Samba networking system in a Dummies(c) book.

Sooner or later there will be a version that anyone can use.

My latest project is seeing whether Edubuntu is the right
choice for a family that has one current generation HP
PC running XP with an SBC dsl line and an old beater
handme down to be used by a youngster who is 8.

Latest tip on easy installs for general use is Mandriva. I
personally don't know what's so good about it, but I've got
some iso files to eventually install that as well.

The Ubuntu releases have names like hoary hedgehog, and
dapper drake (for the Linux mascot.) I'm waiting for the
release called Happy Camper. Ha ha.
