Taelon,
just in case you see this b4 you do everything.

If you have DOS/95/98 boot disk

Use it and type fdisk /mbr If you have a master boot record virus regular formatting won't get rid of it.

Hey everyone.. here is a link to get rid of things like the BackDoor virus.. come to find out I had that on my pc.. luckly I was runing Zone Alarm and that strange activity came up to my attention.. Ran this little program and it cleared it off along with another one that I did not know that I had on my computer.. So I did not have to reformat my computer to correct this problem.. *thanks GOD* Because it took me like 4 days of dling and installing to get it back to half of what I had on it..

Everyone should run this little thing.. you may be supprised to see there was something else sitting back there that you did not know about.
