I've spent about 40 hours this week fighting virus's on a friends computer.
It seems that everything I could throw at it that I read about on the internet, either: 1. Didnt work or, 2. It would identify the problem and then they wanted you to pay to activate the program to remove it and there was no guarantee that it would work. I finally formatted the hard drive, downloaded the free.grisoft.com virus program and the new ewido anti spyware program that they have there and gave it back to them. My question is this: 1. What tools do all of ya'll use for virus's. 2. How can you justify billing somebody 40 hours at 35 per hr when you can buy a new computer for 400 bucks from dell ? Just curious so that I'll know how to deal with this stuff in the future.
