Reinstalling after hackers corrupted my PC.
HI Guys, I have a couple of questions. A scam group known as Microsoft mytechgurus went rife on my wife's PC today after I let them remote logon to "fix" a Windows registration issue I had. Stupid me. I've reinstalled windows home premium and her D drive as reinstalled as it was before, complete with her folders and files. Previously, a reinstall would have placed these folders/files in Windows.old. In fact, Windows.old won't completely delete (even after changing the permission settings for each folder). Now I'm nervous that there is still lurking files that will call these guys up and allow them back into the PC. I was just wondering if anyone had any suggestions or experiences with this so I can assure myself the PC is clean. Cheers all.
