My other computer is on its last legs. I just ran a virus scan, and there was like 200 trojans or something, and I cant get them off. its pretty much royally screwed. my virus scanner wont delete them, either.

any sugggestions?

Id love to just delete everything off of it and start again if thats even possible at this point.

thanks.

    if you dont mind losing all your files and whatnot, try to find your system's restory/recovery cd, pop that sucker in ---> restart ---> hit f1 when it starts and follow the prompts

    but damn TWO HUNDRED?!?!? that's messed up

    i just had to have my hard drive totally re done... its a pain in the ass but relaly totally worth it, i think you might have to do that too if you cant get the system restore bit to work .. good luck

    Yeah I think it's easier / the only way is to start all over again. If you dont' have the system recovery Cd then take it to a computer store and get them to basically wipe the hard drive clean and then put all the basics back on.
