    I understand.

    You probably didn't want to copy over programs and such, because you would likely need to re-install them anyway if you start fresh. Basically you just want your data. Like docs, music, pictures, email, etc...

    Does the computer still not boot normally, or in Safe Mode?

    Default ha ha!

    Okay, a little wordy, sorry. Sort of happy, sort of annoyed. :0

    As far as booting normally, haven't turned it off, it's been on for 6 hours acting "normal". We are trying to export a video project before the inevitable crash happens. (cannot find a good DVD, bleh) Then I suppose I will try to restart it or I may just leave it on forever...

    Okay since it's running have you tried any of the online scans? The last one I gave was for Trend Micro. I posted it here.

    Try that and see what we get.

    Default reboots normal

    Had to restart and it seems to reboot the normal way. I will try the on-line scan.

    Default hmmm

    When I ran TrendMicro my Avast was still running and it popped up with a virus and told me to move to chest. I did, but I am not sure what it was. I thought it said it was a worm and it was in the system 32 folder. But I am looking in my Avast chest and I see something called iDump.exe and it says it was in C:\Program Files\Dump
