If you got rid of FIFTEEN viruses and you have problems booting your pc
you should really format your drive and reinstall Windows! I would
think of using IBM zap.exe to zap the drive and start everything new
with fdisk.

If you decide to format your drive MAKE SURE that you have msblast fix
and firewall program archived and then installed on the new W2K BEFORE
you plug your new installation to the net.
