I just recently picked up a pretty nasty virus called m-i-r-a-r. All of my efforts to scan it down and clear it failed so I took the computer to the local pros.
Paid $50.00 for a professional removal, came home this evening only to find the computer is still infected!
I have no formal training in computers but I get the feeling that either the techs didn't do their job or my computer is now permanently infected and thus useless for any safe financial transactions.
Anyone have any experience (horror stories or happy tales) with this particular virus or anything similar?
Are there cases where trying to 'remove' a virus from an infected computer is simply futile?
