Default Data Recovery/S.M.A.R.T. Scan @$#%!

6 damn hours it took to get rid of the damn malware. Anyone else encountered this nasty little virus?

It rewrote my registry, hid my files, blacked out the background of my wallpaper and relocated my shortcuts/quick start and start menu all while telling my my computer was suffering from fatal errors and missing files... Funny that it should still be working then.

*sigh*

Glad I had my iPad to look up the fix for this little bastard. Though I'm still not entirely sure it's all gone but that might be just my paranoia speaking.

It all seems good so far. I just restarted my laptop now that I completed the cleaning and it appears to be running without problems. However I'm something of a cynic so I'll just wait and see if it stays gone.
