From considerable experience here I believe that if you do write to your hard disk partition (which I assume to be NTFS formatted) with Knoppix, that you will be very likely to cause further damage and therefor cause file loss. So I can't help you with any commands that would write to the disk, which would include removal of viruses. However, i can offer a suggestion and will provide more help in this area if needed: instead of the dangerous approach of writing to a NTFS partition with Knoppix, consider the safe approach to use Knoppix to transfer all of the files that you are concerned about to another system, and then reinstall Windows (the only safe way to do this, IMHO). There are many ways to transfer the files to another system. Assuming that you have a network available, I would suggest that you install a FTP server on a second computer. There are many free or trial versions of pay FTP servers available on the Internet for Windows or for Linux (depending on what you're second system is, although I would expect it is Windows). Then boot Knoppix on the system to be rescued, and use Konquror as a FTP client to transfer files to the FTP server. When you confirm that the transfer has been successful you can safely reinstall your currently corrupted system.
While you could also use Microsoft file sharing under Knoppix, I suggest FTP because it will be much faster and is generally easier to set up and more reliable than Samba or other Microsoft file sharing techniques.
By the way, HEELLPP is not an acceptable subject line around here. I wouldn't even have responded to it if it was a main subject line and I didn't know the topic. See answer #7 for further details.
