operation nuclear option
So the virus didn’t go away. And after trying 6 or 7 things, my patience was shot. I was talking to my boss about it, and I said in an offhand way that if I had an external harddrive, I would just wipe the comp and start over.
I now have an external hard drive on loan.
So this afternoon was backing up the 85 or so gigs of important information on the computer, and it is currently formatting the drive. Formatting is fun.
In the war with the virus, it looks like I just won.
Scorched earth is a heck of a policy.
