    Good to hear you have it fixed! B)

    A wipe and reinstall may be the quickest way of clearing bad infections, but it often means a lot of pain reinstalling and tweaking all your favorite programs.

    Here are a few articles might be prove to be of some help. They also have forums there known for their helpful members.

     

     

    Your comment on web browsers left me worried about something though. You do realize that SOME version of Internet Explorer is installed with every installation of Windows? Whether it be IE 6 with XP (yech, how old is that version?!) or IE 8 with Windows 7 (I :wub: my new Win 7 laptop!), you will have a web browser.

     

    Two questions though. Do you use Internet Explorer as your web browser? And did you have ANY anti-virus installed in the first place beside Malwarebytes?

     

    First, DON'T USE INTERNET EXPLORER. Once you've done your fresh install, use it once and download a different, better, safer web browser. Try Mozilla's Firefox or Google's Chrome.

     

    Kudos on the Malwarebytes usage, but it's not the end all solution in prevention. AVOID NORTON AND MCAFEE! They're worthless pieces of junk, and there is no reason anyone should be paying for computer security. Free versions of good AV software exist. I'm an Avast guy myself, but AVG is another good one.

     

    Both you and Nikira might like this little browser extension. WOT (Web of Trust! Not Wheel of Time, you fantasy addicts! :P ) is a great site and has an extension for both Firefox and Chrome. It doesn't exactly prevent those quiet hit-and-run downloads like Nikira experienced, but it'll help immensely in staying away from sites that often have them. Go to their site, and they'll provide you the right download link for whatever web browser you are using.

     

    Reinstalling Windows? Most computers come with Windows reinstallation discs. So if you remember getting a small set of discs when you bought that computer, go fetch them.

     

    If you need any more help, shoot me a PM! I'm a computer geek with a soft spot for helping others out with their computers. :)

    Back from the dead, I'm the sleeper done slumberin',

    Pass me the mic, and I might stop mumblin',

    Crumble like a cracker, fall like a leaf,

    'Cause the hole in my soul been filled underneath!

     

    So whether you're a winner or a loser (by the numbers!),

    Everyone knows that a tie goes to the runners,

    So get yourself in this race,

    'Cause this little thing here gonna set a new pace!

     

    A quote from a song called "Hey Now" by tobyMac. I love this particular little part of the lyrics. :P

    Ach, no. It's called CLEP.

     

    Oh, yes, you did just start that sophomore year. Before you know it, you'll be a senior and in charge of the Freshmen Pranking Clu-err, Welcome Committee! :D

    I have a concept that will save you tons of money and time. It's called credit-by-examination. PM me if you're interested, and I can give you the whole details. B) (there's a lot of info to cover, so I'll only go through it if you're interested.)

     

    And I know what I'm talking about. I'll be doing my entire bachelor's degree with credit-by-exam and will be done with it within two years. I will pay somewhere between 10k-15k for the entire degree. Not just one year, the entire degree. Furthermore, that money is spread out throughout the entire period of schooling. It's only a little bit as you go. :)

    sleep is simple. you close your eyes and become oblivious to the world. I suggest that if you know for certain or even suspect that someone wants to kill you, then you should set up some form of protection (bodyguards being the most used). :P
