    Already did a safe mode scan, didn't help. But like I said, will do the avast bootscan and if that doesn't work I'll format again, do another bootscan, and then safe mode scan again.

    I see you internets is working Wlad, go to the Kaspersky link i supplied above. I use NOD though, but Kaspersky makes a damn good AV

    If u already formatted it means the Virus has spread to the other partitions already, so there is no use repeating the same cycle over and over...

    Problem is I'm at work, net is fine here. Will try to go to Kaspersky link when I get home (if it allows me to connect). When I format my net works for a couple of days before the virus returns, so I might have to repeat the cycle in order to scan with kaspersky.

    Yeah I know, it sucks. But a man's gotta work to support his gaming addiction. Unfortunately I am flat broke till payday, I spent my whole last salary on a PS3, couple of games and an HD LCD.

    Boot scan is your best bet, and can get rid of those pesky viruses that like to hide in windows. I got rid of quite a few of those using boot scan (not my PC mind you ). If a boot scan is also unsuccessful then you may only have one option left.

    And what would that last option be? I'll try anything (except formatting all my partitions).

    Formating all partitions would be pretty desperate move though :/ I suppose you could always try a mates house and hook it onto a LAN and ask him to help you remove any Viruses,Malware etc.

    That's also another problem None of my friends really have PC's, they are all console junkies. I'm the only one with a PC and an Internet connection, but I'll try the bootscan and see what happens.
