Well I got a major virus from lime wire . Anyways I don't even know how I'm using my computer right now. My question is how the heck do i fix it?

Nothing i try works, when i do a System restore it doesn't let me, when i try to use the disk that came with the computer to erase everything it doesn't work.

Any ideas? They told me to post it here.

How are you trying to reformat your computer? Popping in the disk and restarting your computer and booting from disk then deleting the partition?

Just backup your files first because EVERYTHING will be deleted!

I get the feeling that the real facepalm came after the format...
