feedback would also be great thank you

*edit* if this isn't in the right section than mods please move it to the correct section I had the impression that this was for microsoft which includes their operating systems look at other threads.

 

Thanks for the awesome article. I am gonna print it out so I can read it while I am not on DP. Good job!

 

That is a complete and concise article but I think there are still chances that virus isnt completely removed. I suggest a complete format of the HD is a must!

 

True I'll add that if you still have a messed up computer than your last chance is to reboot but I doubt people will have bad viruses that require reformatting unless they spend countless hours downloading warez and porn from limewire (which probably a lot do )

 

Thanks this could be helpful to me in the future.

 

Nice article you've written there. A handy reference.

 

Is format c: is good tool too ?

 

Good article but i dont think Avast Anti-Virus is a good free anti-virus

 

I have avast it's good for me. Of course there isn't only 1 tool just for every trojan/virus problem, maybe except a program for a $199.

 

Hey, why cant u make those links live... it would be great....

 

I don't want to get in trouble sorry and avast has been working very well with me over the past 3 years so I would recommend it, but its not for everyone

 

thanks for sharing this info...
superantispyware is awesome....

KAV + Superantispyware = my PC safe

 

If you install anything to your computer containing a running virus the it is possible for the virus to change the behaviour of the new installed software - even if it is an antivirus. I agree with bollywoodgeeks the best (but time consuming) choice is to reformat your disk or at least boot from a clean medium and make all the actions from there. If you do them from your OS with a malware then you can't be sure the malware is gone...

 

thanx for the valuable tips...will sure come in handy!!
