This suggests to me that they are in the registry. What is a good program that scans the registry for viuse's and gets rid of them or do you have to manually remove them, or the last option a hd format and reinstall of windows. Can viruse's get into your bios and if so can you remove them. :)	Trev (427)

No, you cant get viruses in your bios.	feersumendjinn (64)

626872	2008-01-03 00:00:00	Think he has got rid of them. Was only putting then into AVG's vault and wasn't delteing them. He deleted them from the system completely and so far they haven't come back. :)	Trev (427)
