Thanks for the info. I have checked out Bleeping Computer and Geeks to Go but not Spywarewarrior.com. I appreciate the info.
No problem.
Bleeping Computer is good, G2G I duck in to from time to time to solve some weird issue that I’m working on, and Spywarewarrior.com is a long-time trusted source for getting rid of malware.
Backing up your important stuff is of paramount importance, just in case something really bad happens. I have a 500 GB USB external drive and a copy of Acronis True Image. I do a complete bare-metal-restore capable backup about once a week. No sooner had I bought all of that stuff than I had a hard drive failure. Next day, I stopped by Microcenter on my way home from work, bought a replacement hard drive, booted off of the Acronis CD, did a full restore, and I was back in business in about an hour.
