Crossing my fingers…
Okay, after it took 24 hours to back up my data to my new external hard drive and our other main PC, I was going to take the plunge and re-install Windows XP.
Then, from the research I’ve been doing, I decided to try one more thing before I did that.
I did a system restore from the day before I got hit with the adware.
I did it 2 hours ago. So far, so good.
