Hey, NICLO - I didn't want to bog you down with yet another issue. But thanx.

Actually, I downloaded a disc "visualizer" that showed me where the stuff was - my kid's 7gb if Itunes! Inside very...

Right-clicking my c:/ drive shows 83 % is being used. But I only have 150mb of programs!?

This is confirmed inspecting ADD/REMOVE software in CTRL PANEL. And chkdsk says the same.

It's a 20gb...

I can not paste the combofix log here too big, and it's not the right file type...??

[BTW, despite looking thru 10 main index headings in the bios, for the likes of me I can not find safe mode]
...

I can use the infected HD now. But there's malware left on it. Some Trojan horse agent_r.aks and trojanhorsegeneric23.cms and trojanhorsebackdoor.gen

[tried posting in malware section but now I...

More scanning with the 2 HD's revealed additional trojan horses and an exploit virus. I'll scan some more before replacing the HD.

Of course if the orig pc and HD give me no problems, I can assume no file assoc fixes are rq'd?

If I see a problem, I assume it's because I'm having an issue with a particular application, or I...

Like DDS, apparently.

It is hard to be sure everything's been removed. I'll take it one step at a time. NOD32 certainly was impressive.

By the way, both HD's are in a PC that was NOT infected....

Like to see slgrieb's reply on the other AV log.... I'll continue to run a couple other AV's today ... what about :

a2cmd...

...was looking forward to it:) yea. maybe combofix and a beer...

hey, slgrieb -- check your inbox.. from windrivers ... windrivers wouldn't take a paste, nor a file so i emailed it ..

re: NOD log

I did the only deep scan I know of. 6 hrs.

The HD was initially diag with the XP Virus. I believe I got rid of that, but another virus - the name escapes me now - remained.

I finally posted...

running Eset on my infected HD - essentially a viral bees hive at the moment, yielded nothing - clean. Why with all those award winning tests?

I've got 2 internal HD's in pc #2. 1 HD is infected. I'm up in windows on the non-infected HD.

I got up AVG, for starters, and I could not find a way inside AVG to designate the infected HD to...

The infected HD can not open files nor go online.

Do you mean add the infected HD to PC #2 and run scans from the PC #2 HD?

This means PC #2 operates 2 HD's...?? not done that before.
...

I guess it's chkdsk / r ?

the repair installation function

I can not see a way that guarantees a recovery instal and not the clean instal - a big difference as I've read.

I'm a mid-level, non-programmer wanting to rid my HD of a virus. As the virus disallows opening files, I'm trying recovery - not the fresh install - to get the HD back to reasonable working...
