Hi Aruni, I did a full system scan with the software that you specified, but no luck. Finally I managed to figure out the issue related to inaccessibility of some folders. Vista home basic by default comes with restricted rights to certain folders like "users". I don't know if it is true for Vista in general, but it's certainly the case with the compact system. So one has to manually get to the folder property and claim the administrative rights and I am able to access my folders after doing that manually. But still trying to figure out the issue related to folders/files within flash disk.

I'll reply to your earlier mail. I am also using vista on a regular basis and I face no such problems. There is a very good program which acts like a firewall and also spiware tracker. it's compatible with vista too. you can download it from http://www.personalfirewall.comodo.com Regards, Aruni.
