    Hi everyone. I just got hit with a version of the FBI moneypak virus. I'm not sure but this may be a new version. I tried to reboot my pc to get rid of this thing and now my PC will not boot at all. The power comes on, but the power light on the front of the machine does not. I can hear the fan start though. Also the cd drive will open and close. There is no output to the monitor, the optical mouse and keyboard have no power either. Has anyone seen or heard of this happening? Better yet does anyone have any suggestions as to what I should do? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks

    By the way I'm using windows 7, service pack 1
