  2. I dont see a need to install spybot + comodo - if one has a good internet security suite, infact avira alone should be just fine. Spybot is know to conflict with some antivirus programs - so without knowing what antivirus the user is using, making such recom. is not a wise one.
  3. I am sure the problem can be solved in a jiffy without having to format, provided one know how to handle it.
  4. lastly the format idea is worthwhile for me since its not any challenging for me : esp for some one who has restored a computer even from a vista-lockout / tamper state - a anti piracy mechanism.
  5. That the person has already an infected system despite an antivirus program how does your recom. make any guarantee for no future infection!? So the best is to learn how to fix it now without a format !!!
listen man,
formatting is my opinion. i have said in my first post that formatting is extreme thing. at the end of the day its the guy whose computer is stuck that decides what to do. you may have restored a computer even from a vista-lockout / tamper state - a anti piracy mechanism but that does not mean you lash out at my suggestions and call me a lame person.
