Better disable System Restore, delete all System Restore files and commence a full-scale assault on your pet virus 😀 You can get a trial version of Norton Antivirus 2004 from www.symantec.com if you need.

What's your home network like; do you have something with basic firewall capabilities, such as a Linksys BEFSR unit or something? Or is your computer, uh, running naked on the Internet there?

 
Tiny Personall Firewall all the way.... :|

I have a Netgear router which seems to have NAT, but that doesnt seem to help me.
 
You may be able to configure your Netgear to completely block the ports in both directions. Are you familiar with its interface? I haven't used the Netgear units, but my Linksys has the ability to block up to five ranges of ports.
 
If you spend as much time scanning for viruses as you do posting screenshots for us, I think you'll have it outta there in a couple hours, depending on how much data you need to scan 😀
 
Get McAfee 8 and free urself of viruses, will save you hours, also get ad-aware, and check for any spyware/adware.

It's because he's so close to 3,000 posts 😉
 
Great, just when I was installing Zone Alarm the computer restarts. Windows XP now goes to A BSOD. Czroe, STFU I really dont want this to happen to my parents computer. If you can help please do so. Right now I am going to need a program to completely format a HD. 🙁 Using a WD SE 40GB
 
The WinXP CD should be able to handle that. Delete all the partitions and have it do a full format during Setup.

Don't hook up any additional hard drives until WinXP is installed, fully patched to heck, and you have antivirus software installed, set to delete infected files on sight without asking, no exceptions, and armed with the latest antivirus definitions.

Also, keep System Restore disabled and delete all SR files, so that Windows doesn't go and save copies of the virus-infected files for you

I am guess the quick NTFS partition doesn't do much eh? 😛 Anyone have any program that'll automattically write 1s on my HD?
 
Your HDD manufacturer will have one. Maxtor PowerMax, WD Data Lifeguard, Seagate SeaTools, IBM whatever-they-gots...
 
Yea, I got that WD Program on a floppy and did a full write zero's to disk. I hope this includes the MBR.
