try it in dos

when computer boots put on f8 (after bios screen)

then if you don't know hot to use DOS:

1. is the file on c:\ or something else like d:\ if it's on c:\ goto step 2 if it's on something else just type in 'd:' without the ''
2. is it in the root of the station goto step 3 other wise use 'cd' to go the directory (c:\my documents\ would be: cd mydocu~1 (first six letters and a ~# (# is the ammount of the directorys with the same 6 letters)))
3. del log.txt

You have a virus as well?
damn, mate it has to be an epidemic.
I just formatted my pc yesterday because a virus had infected several .exe files and nothing would run.
I backed-Up some of my files, but forgot to add about 400Mb of livesets and singles Some of the programms that I kept a copy of, won't work I'm now downloading everything again
