Okay, so some time ago, I had a virus on my computer, and it took some time to delete it. It was a Trojan (shudder).
Anyway, so now the viruses are all gone, I haven't had even one come up on the last four scans.
UNFORTUNATELY, the virus wiped out a bunch of stuff before I could stop it. I can't get into my programs in my start menu, so no games are available (including the Sims 2, which I'm totally addicted to).
Anyway, so I'm wondering what steps I can take to restore my system. I can't get into the start menu to simply do a system restore, so that's out of the question.
If I used the Windows XP disc, would that wipe out everything I already had? Should I back-up my files to a disc? Smash my computer into bits with a baseball bat?
Eventually, this computer is going to be replaced, but I don't want to lose everything in the meantime. Please advise?
(Part one of this is in my profile)
Thanks for any help I get in advance!
