Any one ever get this cock-sucker of a virus?
I've been fighting this thing for over a week. So far the best results have been unplugging the network connection and doing deep scans with Hitman Pro Ad-Aware Spybot Spyware Dr. Enterprise Nortons ESET NOD32 The problem I'm having is that the HD activity goes berzerk at boot, progressively slowing the system till it crashes about 15 minutes later. So as you can surmize, I'm having to do these deep scans in small chunks. Frustrating ... Any one have any other ideas? |

Todd, "have to fix" is a relative term. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)
I started down this path because I didn't want to have to reload all the software on it again. I don't keep much data on the system drive for this very reason. But, in hind sight, I've spent MORE time trying to repair it than I ever would have reformatting and reloading. Putting in a differnet machine is a great idea. I have an old, old, old celeron machine with XP on it that would be a good candidate for this very evolution. |
