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?

But you arent afraid of your windows being fucked up? Strange...

Seriously, been using Linux for 5 years now and switched all my computers
with internet-access to Linux completely about 7 months ago. Even my little
girlie is thrilled by the Ubuntu we installed on her notebook.

Still have a Windows XP desktop-box for Photoshop and stuff (though this
could be also run on a virtual machine inside my Linux) but it's separated
from internet-access.

Best thing about Linux is:
Don't need no firewall, no antivir, no cleaningtools.
And there's no such thing like a registry slowing down the pc either.

Last month I bought a new notebook with vista preinstalled. I didn't even
take a look at as brandnew openSuse 10.3 was released just 3 days before

And, oh ja: IT'S FREE!

PS: For hand-submitting you will find the copy and paste function very handy:
Just mark a text and paste it somewhere by just clicking on the mousewheel.
Mark & click - awesome feature!!!
