Thanks! I am using another computer now. I am trying F-Prot. I was able to delete the _RESTORE directory after booting from the floppy which was created in an XP computer, so it's a good step forward. Now I am running avast from safe mode after erasing some of the file from _RESTORE and will see what it gives...
I am usually rather fgood at cleaning computers but it's the first time it is beating me up that much!
