Re: [Simply Computers] Trojan horse part two

 

Thanks for everyone's help. When I reloaded my recovery software I wasn't prompted to reformat so everything didn't get cleared out. I have purchased a copy of xp and am going to downgrade. Which brings up another question? Do I need to find and install the drivers or are they included on the full edition. It seems like this question has come up before. Thanks again.
