just recovered from a bad case of infection

[somewhereinct]

i was totally unprepared and the website was hijacked by the codec installer. so, i had to live with a very annoyoing redirect in IE 7, which doesn't uninstall in Vista. why don't you advertise your vista angle? i mean microsoft doesn't even have a tool to reinstall Vista or detect Spyguard (and probably many others). it was hard to find you guys, but i'm glad i did. good luck with the ethical hacking, rewards are coming (my payment if i get it to work again)

thanks

vista has some good repair options

depending upon your configuration your mileage may vary

Why do you want to reinstall? Ethical hacking, this site doesn't do any hacking period. Your problem won't be fixed by uninstalling IE. What do you mean by Vista angle?

If your infected still follow the instructions here http://www.malwarebytes.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=2936 . Does the PC boot?
