Wanna hear a funny story? I accidentally clicked modify instead of quote almost immediately after Steve made us moderators.... And even funnier it was one of his posts.

LOL

I was trying to dereference Null Pointers before it was cool.

    Well not to happy about the computer killer virus.
    I have lots of data I want to recover from this computer this is my plan:
    I have a 1TB USB drive to use as  data dump, also installed a second serial drive in the infected computer ( Not hooked up yet)

    On my last system restore I was able to remove the hard drive from infected computer and copy the data files to a lifeboat  computer.(This file contained the virus and reinfected my computer. Lifeboat computer was unaffected.)


    I copied this data file to the USB drive.

    Did a system restore to infested computer.
    installing programs now.

    Plan to copy the big data block on new hard drive and access when necessary.  Slowly bring over data files,and try to avoid this virus again.

      hopefully it works out for you
      If you dont know DOS, you dont know Windows...

      Thats why Bill Gates created the Windows NT Family.
