+1. Had a virus disable my up to date Norton anti virus program, disable the Windows restore feature. I got a program online, can't recall the name and wiped the hard drive completey. Lost everything but got rid of the virus. Loaded Linux Ubuntu and no problems for the past 5 or 6 years. Nice to get away from dependence on microsoft.
