I know. I've never really had this bad of a problem before, but the kind of virus I had was pretty much the most difficult to get rid of. It attaches itself to exe and dll files, particularly to very important files. Then when a anti-virus program catches it, you can't heal it and must delete it. This can screw with a PC quite a bit and I did everything to get rid of this thing. In the end, I did reformat and then did a system recovery, but apparently some of the exe files that were deleted, particularly important ones, did not correctly copy in the recovery and so when I restarted I had to go through the introduction process for my particular PC, I couldn't get past this as certain graphics and systems were not there. So I couldn't move forward with completing the system restore. Nothing fixed this either.

Anyway, the last thing we're gonna try to do is get a xp disc and see if it will restore properly. If not, this PC of mine is pretty much screwed and I'll go ahead and get a mac.

Whew, man do I hate people who make such viruses.
