I just recently did a format of my HDD, and just when i finish installing my internet connection software i get a countdown!!
I had 59 secs be4 my system shut down, so after some reseach i figured out it was a virus (me=genIOUS).
It was annoying as hell having the virus infect my system after 3 formats, but i downloaded the removal tool from Systemantec and it found and removed it.
Just a tipo those the ever got it or have it you can cancel the shutdown counter by going into command prompt and typing in shutdown.exe -a :shifty:
It cancelled the counter and my system ran slow (internet ran slow too) but it gave me time to find the fix.
I hope you all enjoyed the story. :w00t:

You folks that cruise the internet and open mail from anyone should really
get some kind of anti virus thingy going. Nortons caught 4 virus's from people I know that sent me mail this week.
