    Earlier today my vista computer got infected with the annoying Windows Repair malware from a Facebook link. FB seems to be a place where this kind of problems are starting to proliferate.

    It was a pain, but following the MOST EXCELLENT instructions in READ and RUN first took care of it. One interesting twist is that the bug prevents you from seeing the contents of your folders in your drive, so even after you download the cleanup programs, they are difficult to find. I solved that by downloading to flash drive and executing from there. it worked like a charm.

    You guys are fantastic!
