deleting an unknown drive (virus related?!)

[Scott]

I have recently been swarmed with several viruses which
has caused some things to malfunction on my system (Win XP
Home) including (maybe, maybe not...?) the appearance of
an "F" drive which, under "Properties" states that it is
full...but there IS NO other drive! I tried to delete it
but it says that I don't have permission...contact Admin,
etc...but I AM THE OWNER/ADMIN! Anybody got any
suggestions as to how to rid of this thing?? In addition,
my computer crawwwwwwwwwwlllls along now...i mean at a
completely ridiculously slow speed. Any input is greatly
appreciated! Thanks, Scott.

Usually, the penalty for not having a good antivirus program installed
is a computer that should be reformatted and Windows XP reinstalled.
