Virus 3

A2Free died on me. Three crash windows were up when I checked on it. Oh well, I hoped the other apps did their job.

Next, I ran McAfee Stinger then some other random utilities (EZPcFix,  RootKitty) which I had no idea how they worked; the UIs on some of these free tools is a bit cryptic.

Looking at the rest of the utilities on UBCD4Win didn't seem like there was much else useful to run, so I held my breath and rebooted using my hard drive.

Everything looks ok; I can get to the anti-virus web pages now and can run anti spyware/virus utils without them locking up. I'm guessing this means I'm virus free once again.

So, on to the next task of installing Win7. See my next post for that.
