If you have a Windows XP operating system CD, you can go to START>RUN and type in sfc /scannow. SFC stands for System File Checker, and will scan your Windows XP installation for corrupt or damaged files. If it finds any file issues it uses the CD to fix them. It's best to have all other applications closed when scanning.

Why is Linux said to be a virus-free operating system?

Ya Linux is virus free OS, How?? Answer: Linux OS Extracted files and folders are kept hidden which cannot be accessed by viruses. Now what are Viruses?? Viruses are the files which carry the path-name of the WINDOWS FOLDER present in Windows OS where all the functional .(DOT)dll files are stored.
