Ok, here's the deal. A friends pc with windows xp home, of which I know 
nothing, is reporting an infected file containing a trojan. The file is 
buried several directories down - starting at c:/System Volume information.
This is some sort of hidden directory which can't be seen using the file 
manager or dos prompt. I thought I'd be clever, so I booted knoppix off the 
cd, then mounted the ntfs partition. I can now see the offending file but 
can't delete/rename it. None of his antivirus stuff seems to be able to sort 
the matter. I did suggest ditching windows completely, but this idea hasn't 
found favour :(

Andy.
