RE: Virus PROBLEM
well, usually when i format a pc, i erase the cmos, and take out the memories for a moment, and put them back, just in case there is a cmos/memory resident virus...

you didnt have one of those but its not a bad thing to do anyways...

RE: Virus PROBLEM
Yes, those things that hadn't existed for about a decade can now infect your PC again.... if your running windows Vista.

RE: Virus PROBLEM
Through some corrupt driver exploit I suppose?

Otherwise, I thought Windows blocked any BIOS/CMOS interaction from apps...

RE: Virus PROBLEM
oh and the name of the virus is:
Trojan.Downloader.VB.VLM
It came with "flash_player.exe" from a videos site, they told me that i don't have flash player (i don't have it :P) and i downloaded the exe they suggested lol.
Everything fixed now.
