Especially liked the instructions on how to move a whole directory of files up a level. Never had to do this, so it was something new for me. Thank you for the helpful post.

Doesn't make sense, computer repair companies are busy enough with the regular viruses and malware floating around. <a href='http://www.quickconnect.com'>Computer Repair Lincoln Ne</a> Honestly it would be such a waste of time to product viruses for local shops, and they wouldn't get past most firewalls unless you wasted hundreds of hours.

I added "(automatically)" to make it more precise. Sometimes it really is malice, but not usually. "Never (automatically) attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity."

I can honestly say that it isn't the case at our shop. I could totally do without another virus, ever again. There's plenty of other more interesting things that people break that I would prefer to fix. Apparently WinBudget does create popup ads and hijack search results for monetary gain. One customer was in here explaining that Britney Spears appeared holding a rubber phallus. You know that conspiracy theory about PC repair shops creating viruses to stimulate business?

Quite a while ago. Such a nice thoughtful virus! It's interesting how little damage viruses/spyware do anymore other than spread themselves and send spam. The havoc that could be wrought is mind boggling. But there's no monetary gain in that (other than for fixit people like us). Yea, I've run across that one before I think. Quite a while ago.
