Got my first serious windows virus in years.

First off let me say that i fully condone beating and torture of Virus creators and hackers...publicly where applicable!

I have done so many formats and installs that I thought I had a fort knox built on my latest version of windows Vista.

The warnings worked but allas it was too late and the machine auto rebooted to nothing. A black screen with a blinking curser. Tryed to boot into safe mode via F8 ......nothing.

I downloaded a Red Baron 3d add on freeware pack off a site I know I probably shouldn't have. Clicked the installer and the anti virus went nuts. I shut it all down and now oblivion.

Now I am sitting here with my anti virus boot disk hoping the boot sector can be saved and seething at this invisible villain who put me here.
God just once let me get my hands on him!

Moral of the story trust your guts and don't let simming greed over ride your judgment, If a site looks scary the file is probably tainted. My Bad

Rant over!
