Cannot Remove Backup Directory

[Guest]

After re-installing windows, all my data was saved to a directory called "MY
backup" with the date and time. I can not remove or delete this directory
because of a folder called "ANTIPHISHING". I have tried ms dos and windows
explorer.

Any help will be appreciated.

go to my website, and click on "live help" and download the support applet.
If I can do it in 5 minutes or less, its free.

You need to disable Simple File Sharing and take ownership of
the files. Take a look at these articles for more info:

Note: If you are running Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition, you
must start the computer in safe mode, and then log on with an
account that has Administrative rights to have access to the
Security tab. To start in Safe Mode, reboot your computer and
start tapping the F8 key as soon as you see anything displayed
on the screen. Keep hitting F8 until the Advanced Startup
Options menu appears. Use the up and down arrow keys on your
keyboard to select Safe Mode. Hit Enter.

Good luck
