"Take off and nuke it from orbit, it's the only way to be sure."

I formatted my machine at home last night. I had been infected with parite-b and Panda Active Scan wasn't doing any good. I backed everything I had to have (old gaming files, papers from college, e-mails) to Zip disk and pulled a Truman on the two hard drives living in the box.

I got WinXP on the box and got my internet connection working. At that point, I decided to quit for the night. I still need to add anti-virus, a competent web browser and e-mail client, then all will be well. At least I'll be at about 33%. I still have a lot of work to do on the computer, but I'm taking steps to increase my protection against mal-ware.

After that, gaming project updates!
