Did a reformat, which ironically took less time than all those anti-virus scanning. Now re-installing a ton of shit, which is a pain in the ass. But at least I can safely take new precautions. | ||

Apparently the virus also disabled Windows Firewall in a way that couldn't be repaired, and re-installing it would be too complex.

You should make a Windows XP bootable pendrive. If I ever end up with a virus that is difficult to beat in my actual Windows I can just boot to the pendrive and delete it there. SO much easier than trying to do it from the infected Windows installation. | ||

Seems like you get this thing through your browser, so just make sure you have DEP on for your browser, as well as the Enhanced Mitigation Experience Toolkit on forcing extra security measures for whatever browsers you have installed. | ||

If you bought your computer whole, you probably have a recovery partition somewhere on your computer. Look in the manual that came with your computer to see how to restore your computer to factory condition. Be sure to back up all important files before you use recovery though. Once you've recovered you can google online, there should be a way to create your own Vista DVD directly from your C drive. I created an XP disc a long time ago for an XP laptop I had. | ||

I hope I can take some of these steps and get rid of this. I've tried McAffee, Malwarebytes, Spybot S&D, Trend-Micro's botkiller or whatever, TLDRSS (or whatever the name is), and manual searches and manual deletions of files/registries I knew to be malicious. VERY annoying virus! | ||
