    vritual root - whats this?


    On my C Drive I have a greyed out folder called: vritual root What is this? I have run virus scan and it seems to be fine, no issues, PC works fine, - i recently isntalled comodo - is that connected? If it is a virus then I am amazed. I have never visited any site that could have infected me - ill be pissed if it is a virus....it might be the final straw to make me migrate to linux Its also worth mentioning that all virus scans have proved fine and the folder is just empty? V odd... Also a google search doesnt really show anything.... thanks!

    You know what....

    I think i know what this is....

    if you put that into google - DONT DO IT - it takes you to a site that has optimised that keyword - and it "helps" you by offering to scan your PC...

    i.e. a simple but also rather pathetic way to infect you...

    But still id apprecaite any help on this thanks!!! *************************** Sorry about this, I have written my post, corrected myself and now solved it!!

    OK...drama over.... it is a COMODO issue....

    COMODO Internet Security CIS 4.0.138377.779 Released !

    It's a root directory that refers to another directory. That way the name can stay the same even if the physical root location changes.

    Do you have a web server like IIS running?

Hi there I've been running various Windows 7 Betas and RCs on virtual machines and spare PCs for a while with no issues, so when I got access to the RTM I was quite confident (probably overly so) to upgrade my laptop from Vista. Right after the install (ironically enough, from a USB),...

I need to edit the .ini file in a program I've loaded but Windows 7 does not show the root directory. I've used the Command Prompt to access the program file and the root file is not displayed. I've tried to search for the .ini file but the system says it can't find it. Can anyone help?
