Default Re: OT: Damned Viruses everywhere!

Consider:
It will take you less than an hour and a half to format and reinstall windows. And you only have to be in front of your computer for about 10 minutes to click the initial "OKs"
The time spent installing your software again depends on what you have.

Is it worth continuing to spend hours trying to clean the virus, or would it be faster and easier to backup, nuke and rebuild now?

ALSO:
DO NOT ATTEMPT this while you are tired. Depending on your time zone, you should wait until morning before you start.
