About a week ago something happened and I immediately knew that my computer had been infected. The symptoms kept getting worse over the 3 days when I was trying to figure out what had happened. At that point I was all but convinced that I was going to have to reformat the disk and reinstall Windows. Fortunately I had Spybot installed and in the process of attempting to resolve the issue I stumbled on this forum.
Blade81 was able to get me running again within 24 hours of his taking the case. His dedication is nothing short of amazing.
The box that was infected is roughly 8 years old with all of the information stored over an 8 year period. In a sense, it’s a member of our family. The thought of losing the information stored on the machine shook my world. My gratitude for Blade81’s help in bringing it back to life is really hard to adequately state.
As a result of this experience I’m go to do two (2) things:
1. I have already made a donation to the forum. It’s not nearly enough but it’s what I can afford now.
2. I’m going to submit my application to the Malware Removal University in the hope that someday I may be able to help people who are in a situation such as I was a few days ago.
So to Blade81 and all of the other fantastic volunteers whose posts I followed while waiting for assistance: your knowledge and dedication are appreciated more than you can imagine. Thank you!
You're welcome George. Glad we could assist

Reading through some of these, It isn't odd to me to see so many "thanks Blade81"s. Being mildly knowledgeable about maintaining my computer, I found it disheartening that I would ever need to turn here for help. However, Blade81 helped me to clean my system and to improve my preventive measures, guiding me through the process in clear steps that made me feel comfortable and even proud to be following them. Blade81 helped me when I felt my thread would surely be archived or removed because of my ignorance of the forum rules. I speak to all of the wonderful guides here ("helpers" just doesn't give you enough credit) but especially to Blade81 when I say, Thanks for putting up with me.
