OT: Damned Viruses everywhere!

[Suicide Junkie]

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.

Also you might want to consider that some viruses record themselves on the MBR (Master boot record) i dont think this is the case, the only way i'm aware to remove them is doing a fdisk /mbr, however if you're using NTFS you dont have to worry about this.
