If you were Registered and logged in, you could reply and use other advanced thread options When all else fails, download a copy of HiJackThis - it is a tool that can
stop running viruses - BUT YOU REALLY NEED TO KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING unless
you are ready to reload the system as someone has suggested then if you
lunch it it won't matter.
It is too late, but when it is all fixed, get a copy of Norton Ghost and
back up the C Drive. Put in a second drive in for data and back it up
separately to keep C: relatively small
