From: brickman on 6 Mar 2010 07:06 Two weeks, two viruses, now I am infected with something that does not allow me to open ANYTHING from the Control Panel, I get a message: C\WINDOWS\System32\rundll32.exE Application not found I tried to do a system restore but I get a blue screen with something like: If this is the first time you see this message...blah blah blah and I can not do anything in that screen other that reboot. I also saw in a website about copying and pasting the rundll32.exe but I do not think it worked or if I did it correctly. PLEASE, can somebody help?

From: Anteaus on 9 Mar 2010 03:12 System restore is not a reliable way of disinfecting a virus. If at all possible, format (erase) the disk and do a full reinstall. The only other option is a lot of manual work ensuring that that infection has been removed. Once done rethink your security policies.

From: "FromTheRafters" erratic on 9 Mar 2010 07:06 Don't confuse "format" with "erase" or "wipe". Format might not be enough in some cases.
