Thanks for the replies but so far nothing is working. This virus won't let anything run. It seems to block all access to everything. I can load the two programs mentioned but I can't make them run. Same with the restore program.
We need to have a global death penalty for these scumbags who do this stuff.
I'm glad we have two computers, but unfortunately everything is on the infected one and I don't want to transfer data from one to the other for fear of transfering the virus.
BTW from what I can tell I got the virus from a site called "mostly safe for work" It is a joke type site with pictures, jokes, video etc and as the title says it is mostly PG rated.
Thanks again for the replies.
