Oh no! My PC infected!


I was surfing the web and chanced upon a website, then out of the sudden, the Anti-virus software pop-up saying there was Trojan-horse virus or spyware. The Anti-virus software tried to clean it, but was only partially done. I tried to remove the infected files manually, but didn't work well, a reboot of the PC, the infection came back again when I re-connected to the Internet.

Then, I proceeded to repair the Windows XP OS, but to no avail, worst! It can't even boot up to the desktop, errors, no blue screen though. No choice but to re-install the OS from scratch, this is going to be a tedious exercise on a Saturday night, but, hey, play safe, do backup first.
