water cooler :: What to do?



I got this machine in on Tuesday.  I swear to you the pictures are not retouched (they are straight screen captures).  I thought the Linux community could help me out.  Getting rid of the viruses was the easy part; now I need to know how to deal with my emotional scarring.

During the Scan

After the Scan

HOLY CRAP!!!!!!!!

38K virused/trojan files in the Windows dir!!!!!

1.  Backup any files you want/need to save
2.  DBAN all 0's
3.  Reinstall
4.  Put antivirus/spyware from get go
5.  Restore data

Anything that has been that ratphuched still has stuff hidden!

Dont risk it you will be fixing it again shortly

Thanks Awwwwwwwwww...::Punch::, but I already fixed it; I cleaned and deleted 60324 files/registry entries.  I don't like to reformat because there's no fun in it, I prefer to track the  virii down bounty hunter style.  If the virus can hide from me, it's too scared to ever come out of hiding again anyway.  Kinda like these 2 guys --> :ghostface: :unclesam:
