    Let me start by saying I have been around for awhile and fought off most virus without issue but this time....:cry

    I am at about my limits.... A few days ago my wife, my lovely beautiful computer oblivious wife, downloaded some tv show off of a japanese website on my work computer.....Needless to say this resulted in bad news and hours of malware battles on my part. I am very familiar with your guide and process for chasing down the baddies however...
    THIS ONE IS NASTY!!!!
    My desktop has been cleared entirely...no icons, no start menu no nuthin. I cant even ctlr-alt-del into taskmanager because my administrator has revoked that privilage!!
    Not to be dicouarage I logged back in in safe mode to the admin acount and any program or operation I try to run gives me the same message. The "Choose the program you want to open this file".

    I know that I am probably screwed and need to restart but I thought I would thow it out here to seen if maybe I missed something simple.

    Also how concerned should I be about personal information that has been on the hard drive?

    Thanks you in advance for all of you help and sage like advise.
