Anything you don't have on CD.

Then, format your harddrive and reinstall windows, copy all your stuff back down, and reinstall your programs.

A new, good system (that I would buy) will run you only $500 Canadian if you put it together yourself.
Rebuilding your system as above will cost you $0, and no more than about 4 hours unless you've got tons of files you need to backup.

So with this virus you can burn what needed files you want without getting infected files copied as well? The more I look into this virus the more it seems to be that way being the type of virus it is as it isn't really effecting any actual files such as .gam, .jpg, .bmp, .mp3, etc. Correct? A co-worker of mine has this virus at home and he is wondering if it is safe to burn his files to CD then reformat without getting the virus once again once he copies his files from CD back to his PC.
