Yea, it's a computer fixing group of nerds that do your electronic bidding. Quite nice actually, they do house calls.

It's also expensive as ****, and they don't do anything that someone with a brain couldn't do.

Totally cereal? I guess I couldn't **** it up any more...

Yeah, for cereal. Reformat it if it's that bad.

Yes, it'll wipe the hd entirely. That's kind of the point.

Start in safe mode, do a system restore to your last known good date. Install better virus software.

Windows (or dos) has never let me reformat my windows drive without a windows disc. I used to have a floppy that would do it.

That is such a terirble idea. System restore doesn't do jack ****.

I had the same exact virus, and that fixed it.

Not only has he not said what viruses he has, he said

So yeah, system restore is unlikely to help (not that it almost ever helps with viruses..).

That's the one that's giving him the biggest problem, I assume, and system restore will get rid of it.

You sir are and idiot :)

There are thousands of different viruses that do similar things. Similar doesn't mean they can always be removed the same way.

Slander! (or, more accurately, libel)

Legend tells of a night when the planets are aligned and the bindings of natural law undone; a night where the air thrums with magic, the oceans boil with blood and the dead walk the earth...

On that night, on that fabled night, system restore will work.

Just once, though.

Yah that happened already and cannot occur again until this plane of existence is reborn after some horrible cataclysm destroys it.
