I had a virus much like the one 99 described about a month back, nothing worked on it… Honestly if I have to spend more than an hour or hour and a half on a computer, Ill back it up and reformat, its honestly not worth the headache to try and get rid of something and fix anything it corrupts. 90% of the time a person isnt even aware that I reformat it unless theres some random program that I couldet get ahold of. Im sure Ilya and 99 know, even when it appears as thou a virus is gone, sometimes it comes back to bite you in the ass. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/tech-guys-a-little-help/247749)._
