Wow that's harsh eh buddy?... I guess your friend's PC was full of little 'surprises' that ran amok. You need to get 1 PC going with HD fresh new (or busted out with delpart) and known-good OS on CD-Rom. No network. If you can get 1 standalone PC going, updated with latest security updates, browser immunized by Spybot Search & Destroy, and up-to-date AntiVirus running, then there is hope You can rebuild your PCs one by one (not networked). The problem is your 'keeper' files/data. At some point they are gonna have to be disinfected (or discarded!) These are gonna be the source of your problems... I recommend you setup 1 functioning standalone (as above) and then, you can bring in the harddisk with important infected stuff on it, and introduce it on the second controller. Immediately disinfect. When the OS is not running from that HD, the infectious PC pathogens have no defense, and will be in slumber. Get 'em while they sleep It is a real challenge to disinfect an OS while that OS is running, y'know? Hope this helps. Whatta world eh? These virus-attack authors should all be shot & pissed on; they are a hazard to PCs everywhere. The trick is to update/immunize everything, or it will quickly become reinfected again... Let us know how you make out, Regards
