so far nothing works. No matter what file or icon you use the virus shuts off access especially any virus or malware fighters. Using restore it does the same thing...as soon as one tries to access system restore it blocks it. This morning I was able to get to system restore from the intro to the safe mode...it gives one the option to operate in the safe mode or go to system restore. The system then proceded allowing me to set a new date....however when it comes time for the PC to reboot, the virus prevents the shut down.

I have not tried to use malware from a flash drive. I assume one saves the download to flash, then access from "my computer"? I further assume this should be done in the safe mode.

More later.
