Anyone with any suggestions on saving photos? I can't afford to print even half of them! I'm doing all other work in my office now!
Yes...burn all the photo files to CD (as individual files). Then once you recover the PC you can run an antivirus scan on the CD to identify which (if any) have the virus.

Also, when you do recover make sure you shut off the autorun for the CD so that it doesn't try and read the disk before you are ready or it might just re-infect the computer.

Good Luck.
