Got the virus last week. Now the registry on my laptop is shot and it won't boot up right. Timing sucks.

i just wanted to drop this info in here about a virus that i have just dealt with, called windows recovery. It shows up like it's a legit warning and says that there are major problems with your hard drive, and then hides all of your programs and files. It then proceeds to tell you that you have to purchase an "advanced module" to fix the problem. Don't do it! This is not legit at all! It took me awhile to fix the problem and it's a real pain in the ass. Here's a link to take you step-by-step through how to get rid of it, and a screenshot of what it look like so you'll know what your dealing with.http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/viru...ndows-recovery
