Not going to be on for a few days. The virus I got from one of those dead-end links on the recs page turns out to be much more insidious than previously thought, and I'm going to have to nuke my hard drive tonight and reformat tomorrow.

Which security program are you using? I recommend StopSign - it's an online service that you pay for by the month (reasonable) and there's a free initial cleaning scan - might have to pay to have things removed, but it's always worked beautifully for me. Until I bought a new comp with Windows Vista, that is. Damn thing was incompatible with StopSign and I had to switch to OneCare, which seems to work just fine as well, just more annoying.

Oh, so sorry to hear this, love. I've had similar nightmares before, and I now swear by Trend Micro's products - it wipped out stuff that Norton, McAfee, and eTrust missed. They've got a free "house call" virus scan that works well as a starter.

Best of luck, and I will say a little pray for your comp and all of your files.
