You have to restore a backup image or reinstall the OS. Today's viruses steal credit card information and do other really dangerous things, so you need confidence that no backdoors were left behind.

This is crazy because for the amount of time I've spent on this problem I could have just bought a new computer. I have a feeling the laptop is destined to run Ubuntu and my credit card company is destined to receive a fraud claim.Erik Engbrechthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11174963559600768092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19725519.post-20566253359127232572010-07-24T22:23:39.598-04:002010-07-24T22:23:39.598-04:00Sucks!
