Erm...the Norton Live Disk does not break your computer.  If anything, it can remove viruses easier because Windows isnt running processes or locking files.

here is another thing that has happened since the adware/spyware outbreak on my computer.  the quality of the icon shadows are the equivalent to the icons in windows ME if you are running icon packager:

is it like the setup cd of internet security or NAV and you boot from it and your computer scans from the cd in dos? if so i have a norton cd that can do that.  i will try that in a bit.

Very simple solution really. Burn the files you wish to keep onto a (few) DVDs. And do the files one by one - don't do the whole folder as you don't want anything unsafe.

Afterwards, reformat. I doubt you will ever get fully rid of it unless you do this..
