If anybody is still reading :-) , I have a developement. I just found
the emachines Windows XP Home OS disk. So now I can re-install the OS.
I think I can, anyway. I understand these disks that come with new
computers aren't full OS disks. I'm really not clear on the difference
between a re-install disk like this and one with the full OS. But I
understand they can be used to re-install the OS. It says that on the
label.
First, I'm considering running ComboFix
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/combofix/how-to-use-combofix . After
reading about it and all the stuff you need to do to run it, it seems
like it may be powerful.
