Where have all the good guys gone

[NY Jester]

Hey guys thanks for all the tips and heads-up. I'm actually working with the Major Geeks guys and they are really helping with everything so dont have to do a fresh install..I hate that. My one good thing is that I keep all my work, graphics, affiliates banners, free sites, galleries, etc anything to do with the work end of my day on an external HD so its not affected by anything and I wont lose any of it regardless of what happens. Ive gone through 4 processes already, and it cured half my ills - the redirected homepage, the forced search results and those things. Now Im working on removing the creepy crawlies! Using a tool called Dr Web and its finding plenty that was thrown at my machine during that attack. so Im hoping that will cure it. As for the restore, yes thats a good point blue, as to not save the restore points with the virus in it. I'll keep everyone posted.

Spooky, that sounds like a good idea, only I have 0 clue about Linux =( id be afraid to f*ck it all up.

There is one easy answer though if you are hand submitting.

On a side note, anyone have any solutions to not hand submitting?
