A few nights ago I was trying to do an online scan at Panda.com and I had waited a very long time for it to get set up to run the scan and it just seemed that it wasn't working at all. Well I stopped the scan. For some reason I decided to look in my INF files in my Windows explore and I found thousands of "0" oem files. Well, it took me about 2 hours to delete them. I happened across this article tonight while surfing the net and I decided to pass this on for anyone new to Windows ME. Here is the site where I found this information. http://www.toejumper.net/maintain4/del4.htm A glitch in Windows Millennium (and exacerbated by Norton System Doctor) can create thousands of zero-byte .INF and .CPY files, all of which take up valuable system real estate and cause trouble with installation of other programs. Many of them have file names similar to OEM#####.INF. Find them by hunting for OEM*.INF in your hard drive and delete all the zero-byte ones. A Knowledge Base article at support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;EN-US;q281967& gives you more info.

I wouldn't reccommmend running the panda scan. Just get AVG for free from here: http://www.majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=886 Zach www.totalpc.org

I went to http://www.majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=886 to check out the AVG. I want to know why I get a warning that I need to download special fonts to view the this site correctly?

Tammy, not sure why you would be getting that message at MajorGeeks, there are a LOT of fonts that come with Windows, so finding the correct one should not be a problem. Be careful when you get messages like that, it may be legit, or it may be a trick to get you to download something else. Now, about Panda, DO run it from time to time. You may have experienced a slow or downed server. I ran it a few minutes ago and all went fine. I have many times found myself running a scan with Ad-Aware, and had AVG warnings come up saying I had this virus and that trojan. Now, I would run AVG and guess what? Nothing was found. BUT, I run an online scan at Panda and it finds those hidden viruses and trojans---and it kills them right there on the spot without you telling it to. There is something about Ad-Aware's scanning engine that will just pull these deeply buried viruses right out into the open and expose them. I just love it. I am losing faith in AVG honestly. They have more definition updates that just about anybody probably, but darned if it will tell you when you have something. Unless it is a major virus that the entire world knows about, it just seems to sit there and wait for you to find the things. And when it does that, I have to wonder whether the viruses are just that good at hiding, or if AVG is just that bad at sentry duty.

Thanks for the come back to this question. I have posted a few questions here and there at this forum and have been loosing faith in expecting an answer. I know a little about computers but not enough to feel confident about what I am supose to do and some of my questions might seem stupid, but are very important to me. Some of the simple explanations aren't good enough for me cause I don't understand them. I really need detailed information. I did not let it load any fonts when it said that I needed them. I have so many right now, that I didn't think I needed more. Besides, I have never ran across any other site, ever, while surfiing the net that told me that I had to download anything to view their site. So my first thought was to say no and it seemed to load just fine. It really made me uneasy about being at that site because of this. I haven't tried the scan since I had the problem listed above, but I will as soon as I run my Windows scan disk and defrag which takes me about 14 hours to do. Norton won't run the speed disk because of an allocation error in the tv debug log, what ever that is. I'm glad you responded to my post and I thank you again for your help.
