 |  I was lucky, disconnected from the router straight away,turned off pc, rebooted in safe mode and hit system restore.Back 5 days. Once it restarts don't try to delete inected folders. Apparently trying to remove it makes it worse. Once I was up and running I came here looking for a fix. Thakfully there was a easy fix. |

A few people in the ocau thread would disagree - some people who have fixed the problem before (with these tools) have on other occasions had to start afresh. There seems to be a few variants. I ended up re-imaging my drive. None of the programs mentioned in either threads worked, couldn't even install a couple (probably why). I may have been able to fix it by plugging it into another computer....or making a new small partition to run these apps from, but lazyness won out - especially after the net became totally nuked. This is the first time since 03 that i've had to re-image due to a virus/malware....serves me right for not having all the web browser exploits plugged. Cheers, RHCP.

| your down to a ubuntu cd and file searching just F the Fker,times a wasting. tip. wen you F mat, split the drive, save all drivers,setup programs to the bit windows isnt on. even my documents points to D drive (200gb) and away from C on mine. saves heaps of backing up next time. |

This is a great way to set things up. More people should do it; like you say cuts backup time to almost nothing. You can even set your email account to another partition. After wasting 2 hours trying to fix it, reimaged and was back to an identical windows set-up in 10-15mins. Didn't have to back up one file. But this is almost cheating  Cheers, RHCP.
