Congratulations! I’m glad that you managed to get it all fixed.
One question though. Do you have an ad blocker? If not, I would recommend AdBlock Plus for Firefox. Unfortunately, viruses such as these often come through ads posted on many websites, and an ad blocker (if you don’t already have one) will help significantly.
Here’s a few links for you regarding Safe Mode:
Drag0n, I’ve dealt with this virus several times in the past. As you’ve discovered, this virus disables your computer if you boot up regularly. Everything is not infected with the virus, that is just the virus messing with your system to make it think it is. If you boot up into “Safe” mode, you should be able to run your anti-virus software. This is hoping that at least you kept your main antivirus software up to date. If you have Comcast, you should have Norton.
Also, just because it removes many of the files, don’t assume it’s gone. Update your anti-virus and run another scan. Then, when you can get back online, try another anti-malware program like this one:

This one has always worked well for me. The free version should be all you need.
I’ve also seen several people recommend this one, but have never used it myself:

Whatever else you decide to use, make sure you run multiple scans with the software up to date to be sure you get everything.
You can try the link kitsunelady provided, but be very, very careful. I wouldn’t mess with registry keys unless you are confident about what you are doing. You can cause more damage to your computer than the virus is currently causing.
Can we still trade for one of the items in the set instead of the whole set? I’m asking because I’m very interested in the netbook and I could find something worthwhile to trade for that, but I’d have a much harder time finding something to trade for everything. If it’s still possible, let me know, and I’ll do my best to find a good trade for it.
Just wanted to bump this as I still have a lot to sell and still have to get some money to repair a fence. Thank you for looking!
Huh? I just checked mine and everything seems okay. It looked fine for most people’s too. Is this problem just affecting certain users?
Dragons are like kiwi birds.
Is this the same for the mother pegasus? I’ve always wondered how she could lay that egg…
There was a old green emperor on ebay that was sort of hidden as it wouldn’t come up under a “Windstone” search but would come up under a “Pena dragon” search. I have to admit I don’t know why it was pulled down.
Anyway, windstonefan, I’m glad that you’re always trying to be helpful to people in need. However, I’m not so sure why this guy was spooked. If he wanted to remain anonymous why not continue to sell on ebay? Then again, I’m not privy to what this guy got as emails or messages. If for whatever reason he doesn’t want to re-list it on ebay with “Windstone” in the title then he’s more than welcome to come here and post and sell it if he wants. Widnstonefan, I’d just rather not see you end up the middleman of a deal gone wrong that’s all. Something about this just seems a little odd to me.

Does it still happen to you?
Now that you’ve deleted the spammer only a “n/a” shows up. That’s much better than the Viagra link. Thank you!

It could be that something got mixed up in the transition since I’ve been using this same thread for several months now. Would you recommend that I just make a new thread and let this one sink? I don’t know if this will happen to someone else who posts on the thread or not.
Okay, let’s see if this works…

Well, I’ve got a screen shot of it, but my computer will only let me put it Word and won’t let me save it as a picture for some reason. Would you like me to email it to you?
The browser I’m using is Firefox 4.0. I use AdBlock Plus, so I should probably be more specific about what I meant by ad. What it looks like is that I’m replying to some nonsense user that has a link to a Viagra purchase site in their post. I hope this makes sense. If not, I do have a screen shot.
