just wanted to share something... i purchased a program called GOBACK 3 Deluxe by Roxio. it has been a life saver for me. i use it along with several anti-virus and trojan software. but, GOBACK really amazes me. say i opened a email with a infected attachment. i bring up the program and choose to revert my hard drive to an earlier time when everything was working. it handles system crashes, virus damage, lost data and more! whats is even better is it becomes part of your windows boot up. so if you were unable to boot to desktop because of a virus, you just hit the spacebar and it brings GOBACK menu to revert and other advanced options. when our satellite services for internet connections was installed on my computer, the guy who ran the set up typed in the network passwords and chose to "remember password" so i never remembered it. my computer crashed and i deleted some temp files and there went my computer. so i tried to revert the computer back to the day before when i could log onto windows and just push "ok" on the password login screen...and it WORKED! you can choose to even go back just 5 minutes earlier. it totally undo's whatever the problem was. if you download something from freestuff and you use one of the go back options...you will lose all those downloaded files and have to re-download. again, my opinion of this program. one more thing...get mcafee uninstaller. it monitors any and everything installed on your computer. even those tacky scripts people try to use to harm your computer.
