[viruses]

my pc checks for floopy for every 5 minutes and its quiet irritating
there is no virus i did a check in the safe mode

[vijay_7287]

it did happen to me

just look for the files tht are gettin on to the floppy each time u use ur drive

and do a search(includin the hidden files) for them on the home drive on the HDD
and delete them
this should solve it
