I agree with you Linda that programs like Norton and McAfee are more targeted. Unfortunately, it turned out to be pretty bad situation for me, as I did not have WinXP CD with me, and I am in Washington DC, not in my campus (R.I.T) else I'd get Windows XP CD for like $3 with student discount.

Now, I have to pay the full retail price because I am not in my city, and I need it to be urgently fixed. Those viruses have cost me time, money, and pain. I hope everyone else keeps their security tight. Fortunately for me, I was able to back up everything.

Btw - Windows System Restore is a useless thing, didn't undo a single "harmful" change to my computer.
