OT - Cry for Help (At the Mercy of Viruses/Spyware)

[ats at longcoeur.com (Patrick Bureau)]

1. get a REAL antivirus software (norton or mcafee), no ioffense to the
cheap-ass-ed people out there, but freeware antivirus never perform as well
as proper commercial anti-virus software

2. Boot with the antivirus software CD or floppy and run a scan on your pc
to clean the viruses from your system.

3. you may have to re-install some software that got deleted, always check
in c:/proma files/<program name here> to see if you can not simply re-create
a shortcut from the original file unto your desktop.

G'luck!

->What am I doing wrong here folks? I've already wasted too 
->much time trying to combat this sh*t with my hack knowledge.
->
->I have AVG virus removal software with a recent update, but 
->it detected "Protorider-B" (MsUpdate.ex*) and some other worm 
->(ID'd as "svchost.ex*). I tried to run the healing and the 
->quarantine but my system now has all of its shortcuts 
->disabled  (is this related to the Common Extension Hijacker 
->Spyware??). How I got Outlook Express opened was a 
->miracle...This same thing happened after I ran Spybot S&D, 
->but I was able to restore from previous checkpoints. Whatever 
->it did, this protorider is now preventing me from restoring 
->from previous check-points.

->Any ideas would be much appreciated!! Thanks in advance -
