silver

I know this has been asked before probably many times I have read
through the lists but cannot find the answer I need...

I have had a virus and a worm god knows from where I run zone alarm
pro and avast anti virus I ran avast removed the items re booted with
sys restore turned off (I think that's where they were hiding ) to
flush all backups (restore files)
now i wish to do a clean boot so I can run a final virus check,
but there are so many files listed I am not sure which ones I am
supposed to temporarily suspend during the reboot .
any help great fully accepted as I am greatly confused
TIA

Well start msconfig, then
goto
General Tab and check selective tab and then uncheck
Process SYSTEM.INI , WIN.INI and Load start up item..

Then move to services tab... click on Hide Microsoft Services and disable
wat remain.. DO disable irrelavent MS services also..

Reboot and back up

God give me the strenght to change the things I can
the courage to accept the things I cannot change
and the wisdom to hide all the bodies of all the arsholes
I had to kill cos they really pissed me off...
