Viruse Killed My PC
While surfing the forum, my PC was attacked by viruses. Software said it fixed them, but minutes later all hell broke loose and drive C is toast.
CF was the only thing running.
Am I the only one ?

I'll alert the tech team.
I'm getting warnings, but Norton is saying it has blocked the threat.

Others have reported the virus has been caught by various anti-virus packages.

I don't dare use my new laptop. Until it's known to be solved, iPhone is all I dare to use.

Had to go to my backup. Apparently it was a virius on CFOT. I was on CFOT whem it happened.
Will have to get friend to clear it up. I tried for 2 hours and likely just made it worse.
