I recently had a similar experience. My Win Me OS in a dual boot setup displayed signs of infection. Norton found no problems. Booting into the XP OS and running the AVG virus checker I found several viruses in the ME OS. In the process of cleaning up the mess I managed to delete my master boot record. This meant I had to reload both OS. Rather than mess with Me again I installed Linspire and a dozen Linux programs, including Star Office 7. Total install time, 1 hour. Reinstallation of XP and supporting software, including firewalls, virus checkers, ad watch, and win patrol, Firefox, Thunderbird, plus some dozen genealogy programs, 4 days. If we didn't need Windows for our company software it would be long gone.
