[DeTomaso] NPC - Help, I have a virus - what do I do

[Dick Koch]

Konrad, I can't thank you enough for the advice on Combofix.

I have been fighting a virus for the last two months on one of my 
computers that manifested itself as a "svchost" problem with no 
success.  I used all matter of virus and malware tools to eliminate the 
nagging problem.  All the advice on forums associated with the symptoms 
of the problem did not provide any fix.

When I ran Combofix, it found a boot virus, along with several other 
problems and fixed them.  I would recommend to everyone to use this free 
tool on an ongoing basis.  It doesn't have a fancy user interface, 
running in a cmd window, but it sure gets the job done.

Again, thanks for the tip.
