quidditchgrrlSo. I have my PC back. Had to restore 10 DVDs of music, for which I must thank the Geek Squad.
I won't thank them, however, for burning a copy of the trojan program that created the problem to one of those DVDs! >:O Luckily, as soon as I said, "hey, this looks like a...", Norton sounded the alarm. Hopefully it didn't make the jump from the DVD to the HD.
The Geek Squad manager has assured me that if anything happens to my PC because of the damn thing, it'll be repaired no charge (right).
Lesson learned: don't waste your money on the service plan, since it does not cover anything but the most unlikely of scenarios.
What really burns my toast is that we are meticulous about security. Norton and SpySweeper are always running, we are constantly updating/upgrading with the latest and greatest to keep our system clean. And we get hamstrung by a low-level trojan. :\
But right now I'm listening to tunes and typing in my little Semagic window, and all seems a lot right with the world.
