Hi
I got the virus on my computer too. If you read up on it you will see that
it is very involved and does a lot of things to your computer. If you want
to be confident in your computer from then on I was told that the best thing
to do is to save to disk all important data. Then reformat the entire hard
drive and reload the OS. Then you have to reinstall from known clean
sources all your favorite programs. This is what I had to do and it took
about 4 days work to get everything back up again, minus the stuff that was
lost.
