After running into this a couple of times and wasting for to much time if I could not get the system restore to work which it would not unless I caught it early then I found it's a LOT quicker to just format and reload the OS.



Really? If it's simple adware I agree but I know of one that as I have said I have done all that and more. Yes what you mention does work with a lot of them and that is/was one of the first things I did but there is one (I dont remember the name) that is a real B*tch and I have read on several forums at the time everyone (Tech gurus) said the same, format because they also wasted a LOT of time.
A+, S+, N+, CCENT, CCNA as well. All of those certs you and I listed mean nothing when it comes to virus removal.
