I have had a virus that i know nothing about for a few days now, at first it was bad, shutting down applications and what not, then i didnt show up for a while. After i rebooted it was back and it seems that it cant be deleted. is there any way i can mayb resest anything on my pc other than completly have to reconfigure or download windows again. i dont mind loosing some file, but i do not have a install disc for it so i dont think thats an option.,... DESPERATE!
