    hi,

    i was away for a few weeks and when i got back i found out my brother had installed limewire ....well when i got into the computer zonealarm popped up and said "inno setup is trying to access the internet" -"winupdates.exe" ...i say deny but then limewire kept opening up..ild close it then it would open agian. i turned of system restore points and restarted into safe mode and ran my anti virus....well then my power shut off half way through the scan....and was off for 4 hours...then when i turned my computer on it says "registry deleted" and a big list of things deleted.

    now when i turn on the computer it stays on for around 60 seconds then restarts...the registry ethier deleted by the worm or by myself some how.

    Now what can i do about it? is there a way the registry's can be replaced by a computer tech person?

    i want to get my whole computer wiped clean and start over agian....what does such a process cost?

    thanks for your help :(
