Hello. I am downloading your program now. Thanks. I have a root kit in a corrupted file that has no back up. Maybe your program can replace it? The guy who reformatted my cpu put a virus on it. I have 3 programs that have disappeared,system restore,system configuration and disk clean up. I was on your web site to get the file name for disk clean up. I will try to find another X.P computer to copy the missing files to an u.s.b. Thank you....Dean Horne.
