Re: PC completely virus-ridden!

Nugg,

I've got bad news I'm afraid.

The industry standard advice after any scale of viral infection is to 'rebuild from known good media'.

I've only ever had one viral problem (caused by my anti-virus failing to detect one virus which then shut it down and invited all its mates to the party). I can't begin to tell you the time I saved just rebuilding the whole machine, compared to what I would have spent trying (and failing) to get rid of the little buggers.

The other problem (of course) is that you can never be sure that you've got them ALL unless you rebuild.
