If none of that works, it usually becomes more economical to back up data and reinstall windows. |

Can you do a restore and run software from there? Sometimes the virus will have a pop up telling you where to go to get the fix...lol. If its that one, your screwed. I had one a while back. I had to reformatt. couldnt connect online, couldnt run software, couldnt transfer files,no drag and drop. I lost a lot of things i had on the pc, music, pics, software. Also I had to dl and reinstall all my drivers. Pita... Luckily i had the windows disk with the keygen to reinstall it. GL. |

Makes you wonder how many of them are secretly employed by anti virus software companies generating customers. They really need to do shots of drayno if you ask me.  |

Not exactly true. Many of the creators are some of the best programmers you will find. Most do it just for the challenge out of boredom. It is sometimes scary to think of just what the human mind is capable of... |

Be it hackers or employees of said anti-virus software companies. It all brings in the same $$$. Not saying everyone living in their parent's basement is out to no good but you simply can't trust every warning you get stating "you have been infected, click here to remove". It's a trojan billboard in short. |
