"Luckily, I had done a backup on a portable disk on Sunday"

General note - the backup may have the virus on it.

Using Office Home & Student 2010

Many thanks. Now going to try again.Windows7 Office Home & Student.

Could only find instructions for delecting Security Tool for Vista, and it will not come up in Safe Mode (for whatever reason).

I have disks for 32 & 64 bit.

How on earth do I do 'Spoilers'?..

Spoiler:

[ spoiler ] (spaces inserted to show what I typed.)
Stuff
[ /spoiler ] ( the / inserted ends the effect)

It can also be Spoiler. Doesn't make a difference.

I think that spoiler idea is great. You should all use it for particularly long winded computer geek chat. It makes the place look tidier.

Actually, I agree.

Where is the 'How-to?' for us not geeks?

Cheers.

I have a great idea.

Why not have tags above spoilers that are divided into categories?

We could have 'Just Bitching', 'My Life Sucks', 'I Messed up...again!', 'Sorry for Myself', 'Me, Me, Me.' 'I am a Martyr.'

The list is endless.

Nope. You actually have to use the WORD "spoiler" in the brackets, but don't put the spaces before and after the brackets like I'm doing here or it won't work. Example:

[ spoiler ]This is what I want to hide[ /spoiler ]

To make this work, I'll do it again without the spaces within the brackets, and you get this:

Spoiler:

See?

If you want to totally reformat and start new just tell me what version of windows your using (AND that you have those disks). One of the key steps in trying to remove a virus is to turn off "System Restore" if you're using a newer version of windows. I've read (who knows if it's true) that some viruses will use System Restore to reload itself on the next boot up. Restarting the computer is supposed to wipe out the System Restore file after you have turned System Restore off. See restart windows in safe mode for instructions on how to restart your version in "Safe Mode". NOTE - you need a wired keyboard to do it. In Safe Mode with network connections you can download and run the antivirus of your choice. The reason I say to download and run an antivirus as opposed to running your own antivirus program is because, years ago a virus took command of my A/V program, McAfee.
