It has been my experience that a Windows box can't be de-virused. Certainly given enough time and effort it could be acomplished. It has been my experience that the time and effort, and knowledge to "Fix" a virus'd machine is not even close to equal the reward. Soultion- Setup Windows fresh on an 20-30 gig partition in the front and then point c:/MyDocuments to d: and make an image of c: when it is all set up and al software is properly installed, and all data resides on D:. I run a virus ceck / malware ceck from time to time, and if I find something I restore the system from image 10 minutes and it's done. You have to plan on this as almost scheduled maintenance.<BR><BR>Joseph Wennechuk<BR>________________<BR><BR><BR><BR> <BR>> Date: Mon, 19 Jul 2010 03:40:51 -0400<BR>> From: rpjday@crashcourse.ca<BR>> To: kwlug-disc@kwlug.org<BR>> Subject: [kwlug-disc] [way OT] how to de-virus someone's windows box?<BR>> <BR>> <BR>> "you work with computers? great. my windows system seems to have a<BR>> virus. can you fix it?"<BR>> <BR>> so since we all hear this on occasion, what's some basic advice on<BR>> devirusing someone's windows box? any and all advice appreciated,<BR>> thanks.<BR>> <BR>> rday<BR>> <BR>> -- <BR>> <BR>> ========================================================================<BR>> Robert P.
