Operating system Win98SE
News Reader Forte Agent version 2.32.652

From time to time I clean "SAVE" folder in Forte Agent news reader newsgroups to
erase or save attachments such as: VCF, MPG, MPEG, JPG, JEPG, SCR or whatever.
I am especially wary of SCR attachment, that's where most virus are found.

Last night in one of these secessions, Agent's News Reader had saved more than a
thousands attachments. To save time I sort these attachment and erase them in
batch MS DOS example below:

"erase D:\computer\save\*.jpg"
"erase D:\computer\save\dma*.*"
"erase D:\computer\save\*.jepg"
"erase D:\computer\save\*.wmv"
"erase D:\computer\save\alpha.*"

To check and verify which files or extensions files to erase, I open "SAVE"
folder in another screen while I erase in MS DOS screen. Sometimes I also use
"Eraser" freeware by Sami Tolvanen and erase in Win98SE. I was horrify the
deleted or erased files returned to life back in "save" folder. I also notice
while I was "eraser (Win98SE)" or "erase (MS DOS)" there is a "Temporary file in
"save" folder".

Anyone care to explain this strange occurrences? Thanks.
