I beat the fucker.

I ran an online virus scanner provided by [url=http://housecall.trendmicro.com/:933db]trendmicro[/url:933db], with msn internet explorer since fire fox wouldnt run it. It id'd two viruses and was able to delete one but not the other. The other i hunted down in the system and was able to rename. That rendered it inert, i then moved it, since it was write protected and undeletable, to a flash memory stick. I used cut and paste to do that. Once on the memory stick it was deletable, if it hadnt been, i had planned to basically format the flash stick.

I then reset the homepage to not suffer this all again, and verified it on the block list. Thanks for the suggestions. I also learned a valuable lesson about having two internet browsers, if my bro hadnt had msnIE he would have been fucked since firefox wouldnt run the damn internet virus scan.

Well, this will be the last of my internet visits for a while. Im going to have to start hurting my room mate for not calling to get it hooked up in his name.
