Is this folder accessible? Or is it part of Outlook?
C:\Documents and Settings\Jay Tan\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook\archive.pst
Either way, delete these folders.
Personal Folders/Junk E-Mail
Personal Folders/Junk Suspects
The inbox has infections too. Look through the last part of the log and delete what is necessary.

Okay, I've emptied out the "Junk" and "Junk Suspects" folders, although had to do so by opening up Outlook and right clicking on the folders. Tried to find them in the C: drive library, but they're located as part of the .pst file. I'm also emptying out the trash in Outlook now as I type this.
I also read carefully through the Kaspersky scan and deleted these items:
H:\My Documents\The Rockford Files\IE\Fish\Forms\inbox.pst
H:\My Documents\The Rockford Files\Brain Food\IE Outlook\backup.pst
H:\Retrospect Backup\Backup of Drive C (C)\Documents and Settings\Jay Tan\Shared\big city wg snuffy walden.zip
H:\Retrospect Backup\Backup of Drive C (C)\Documents and Settings\Jay Tan\My Documents\The Rockford Files\IE\Fish\Forms\inbox.pst
and located / deleted the email (via Outlook) listed here:
C:\Documents and Settings\Jay Tan\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook\archive.pst/Archive Folders/Sent Items/29 Jul 2003 04:14 to 'Cailin Yahoo':RE: If at first you don't su.rtf
All the other infected items seemed to be in "Junk" or "Junk Suspects," although I wasn't sure about how to access this guy:
C:\Documents and Settings\Jay Tan\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook\archive.pst Mail MS Mail: suspicious - 1 skipped.
I'm pretty proud of myself for finding and deleting those bad boys. Wonder what I missed.
Running another Kapinsky, since it'll go through the night anyway.

Great job. Don't think you missed any. We'll see what Kaspersky logs, hopefully last scan. :)

I'm assuming this one is in the inbox...
C:\Documents and Settings\Jay Tan\My Documents\The Rockford Files\IE\Fish\Forms\inbox.pst
The other are backups. Delete the backup folder. You can create a new one when your clean.

Yep, guess I missed that one. Deleted.
C:\Documents and Settings\Jay Tan\My Documents\The Rockford Files\IE\Fish\Forms\inbox.pst
Also tried to delete:
H:\Retrospect Backup\Backup of Drive C
but I got this message early:
Cannot delete 002-6630810-6349666[1].: Cannot find the specified file.
Make sure you specify the correct path and file name.
How do I get around messages like that? I should be deleting "Backup of Drive C," correct?
Meanwhile, I'll run Kaspersky again and make sure we got it.

I'm not sure. The only files that are infected are the Outlook files. So you could just delete the Outlook folder from the backups.
Not really a need for Kaspersky again, but it's up to you.

Well, I've deleted the Outlook folder from the backup, and of course deleted the emails and emptied the junk / junk suspects via Outlook (located on the C: drive). Computer did freeze the first time I used it this evening, but so far so good.
I'm backing up C: drive onto the H: drive, so we'll see if that update makes a difference. I've also got some new DVD copying software that I'm going to load into the C: drive, so we'll see how these things turn out.
Or do you still think that we should format the drive and reload Windows?

Nah, I would wait on a format. All the viruses listed in any of the online logs were either in mail or quarantined from mail. I think we got all of them, but I sure you will recieve more. I recommend you getting an antivirus with an email scanner to stop those emails from reaching you.
Any more problems let me know.
Good luck. :)

After a few days of giving it a test run, it seems like I'm still getting freeze-ups. The computer in general is much slower than usual, on startup as well as if I have several internet explorer windows (no more than I used to have before we started extracting viruses) open. This is usually when it freezes up. In fact, there hasn't been a day that it hasn't frozen up. Normally, it will go for awhile (1-2 hours?) without freezing, but if I leave it alone and without activity, guaranteed I'll come back to it frozen.
Any thoughts or suggestions on this? I've defragged the C: drive and H: drive, but that hasn't made any difference.
Hate to (pardon the pun) bug you again. Not sure which direction to go from here.

Hmm, I think it's best(and safer) if you just save what you need and reformat.

I've searched through some threads and it seems like reformatting is pretty straightforward, but I thought I'd double-check first.
1. Since I've got all that I want to save on the external H: drive (just did a backup) I should be good to go. I guess I'll have to upload all the software (MS Office, Final Draft, Roxio Easy Media Creator 8) back onto the C: hard drive after I reformat it, but since i have those installation CDs, I'm good to go, right?
2. Looks like the only CDs that apply to Windows or Dell that came with this computer is the Windows XP Pro Reinstallation CD and Dell's Tools CD - "for reinstalling Dell-Installed software." So just stick the Windows CD in the tray, restart, and boot up from the CD? Is it that easy / will it be self-explanitory by then? I'm not selling my computer anytime soon, so I'm not worried about other people accessing my data.
3. Should I disconnect the external H: drive when I do this reformat? If I needed to reformat the H: drive as well, would I just move the stuff to the C: drive, reformat the H: drive, and then move the stuff back from the C: drive to the H: drive again? Does that sound like the logical way of doing this?
Thanks.

Yes, to all questions. :)
Did you get an erasing program or just going to use DOS?

Probably just going to use Dos. I didn't read too much on erasing programs. The whole thing is pretty intimidating, for obvious reasons, but once I actually go through with this, probably not til the weekend, I might take a second look at erasing programs.
Any suggestions or other things to consider?

If you use DOS, perform 2(or more) erases.
