Press F8 during boot to get to safemode. You might have a failing harddrive. Bad sectors essentially deletes files as they are no longer accessible. Go to disk management to see the status of your drives. Macropiper Posted at 8:05 pm on Jan. 19, 2008 Formatting the disc completely will probably get rid of it, at the cost of everything on your hard drive. I would get an Ubuntu live CD and boot from that and use a flash drive to get anything you particularly value off it, the trojan will not be able to run in Ubuntu and the most recent Ubuntu live CDs will probably have NTFS support. Of course, virus scan any files that you do recover afterwards, and don't try to recover any software that you can just download again. LaxMaster Posted at 2:47 pm on Jan. 19, 2008 Like marshmellowman said, use formatting as a last resort. But, should you need to, re-formatting will very likely get rid of it. (seeing as it gets rid of everything on the computer) xxPatriotsxx Posted at 2:36 pm on Jan. 19, 2008 avg antispyware, really good Vintorez Posted at 2:33 pm on Jan. 19, 2008 download AVG Antispyware marshmellowman Posted at 2:33 pm on Jan. 19, 2008 Try AVG Anti-virus. Use a format as a last resort only, as you will LOOSE all your files, software, OS, settings and everything.
