Along those same lines, I use some free tools from sysinternals.com like process explorer and autoruns to find out where the "nasties" are and if they are replicating. I keep these and other tools on a handy CD (And now a flashdrive) since many folks still are on dialup.
Definately avoid the "warez" sites and anything along those lines; I used to think my security settings and such on my system would not be affected and I used some of those sites to "test" my invincibility. NOT A GOOD IDEA.
This is JMO, but I would also turn off system restore until you finish cleaning
OMG 2 thing s that are recent in my knowledge
Turn DEP on for anyhting except programs you specifiy.
Man nothing runs!!!
The other thing is rootkitrevealer.
Great stuff. (If you ever had Vista installed you can ignore the tpf files.. .also anything with a size of 0 is considered "safe")

I used to be like that especially with DOS 6 and never learned anything. After my 20th install of XP within a month got me mad enough to fix rather than format though sometimes format's the only thing.
I keep harping to people, keep your documents and apps on a seperate partition so if your OS blows up, you won't lose anything. Have fun!

Cool man, I'm not saying that you'll never have to back them up as hardware always screws up, but it'll save you lots of time.RipFire12901 wrote:Ok... I am going to put all my documents onto a seperate partition and then fix up my OS partition

We use a product called Ewido a lot to kill off the buggies that infect systems that have been causing me trouble!
There's a 14 day free trial...we install it and then uninstall it(on our customers computers) so they don't have to pay for it. Download it, update and then run it in Safe Mode...it gets rid of a LOT of bad stuff!
