Thank you guys:rose:<div class=)
If you think these files are corrupted, your best bet would be to do either an in-place reinstall of Windows or use the repair console to get the files off your Windows disk. support.microsoft.com will have details on how to do this.

To be honest, your best bet is probably to backup all your data, reformat and install windows from scratch.

I rather would'nt recommend it when comp is infected with virus.Though little painful attempt, but a better workaround will be to reformat and install the OS from scratch.

It's not really killing you. It hasn't taken out a contract on you and your family has it? It would be a disturbing trend if it did.

Hook up the infected drive as slave with a working installation as master. This way you don't run the risk of infecting your backup media with whatever is left over. Roswell

Fair point if the virus is still there, however I was taking his statement that the virus was gone as the truth...

hang on, wasn't there a springer show once where they had a disgruntled computer tried to off its owner because he was cheating on it with the neighbor's "sexy and sleek" Laptop? :-D (I can picture Jerry Springer reading this post and going D'OH!!! Why didn't I think of that?! :laugh:)
