The virus corrupted all my photos that i have stored over the years of my kids growing up etc. The problem is that these pissed off Microsoft ex employees who create these viruses don't realise the shit they do! I have learnt a valuable lesson from this always save special documents onto a disc! I found out out recently that i was infected by my IT buddies at work on my personal home PC.

It is possible for a virus to take over a router DNS directory. You say you are using a shared internet access. By that, do you mean that you are conecting wirelessly to another router, If that is so. Then I would explain to the provider that there may well be a problem with the router. I am sure if you ask him/her politely to hard reset the router they will. If that is not possible, is there anyway you can connect to the net at a friends home? If not, There is another cheeky way to test if it is a modem problem. ( I never told you this by the way) Pop along to a three network shop. purchase a dongle and p.a.y.g sim. Take it home and try it. if everything gets working again, Take the dongle and sim back straight away and say you changed your mind or the thing does not work. Let me know how it goes.

It could be a contaminated version. ThenFirst get this http://www.dban.org/ and put the program onto a floppy. shut down the p.c, Boot from floppy. Totaly wipe the hard drive with the program that is on the floppy. Now reinstall windows or what ever other o.s you have. Make sure that the op disk is from a reliable source. O.h make sure you scan all the saved data before renistalling it onto the new system. Good luck. Hello Tom, Scan the disk that carries your op set up disk. It could be a contaminated version.
