My nephew was house sitting for us and when we returned, our computer was all jacked up. There was a virus and I tought I had fixed it but not so. The name of it was "W32/TROJAN/BRPH".
Do I need to buy a new hard drive or call the Geek Squad or what??????

Can I laugh at (with) you since my nephew did the same thing to our computer?
Sorry, I feel your pain.
Try system restore to last known working settings: Go to Control Panel, Performance and Maintenance, System Restore, follow prompts.
Good luck.
Also download NOD32 anti-virus...http://www.download.com/NOD32-Standa...-10475647.html
Yep, Google and pick a fix.
I doubt you will need to replace the hard drive. I have never seen a W32 Virus/Trojan /Worm do any hardware damage. Of course I could be wrong the script kiddies and hacks are always coming up with better Errr Ahem... more destructive bugs all the time.
The problem 90% of windows users have is that they are always on an Administrative login which allows for a cornucopia of malicious bugs free reign of the machine.
There would be a greatly reduced risk of infection if after you fix it, if you set up a couple of tightly restricted user logins.
And if all else fails come over to the dark side (http://www.mandriva.com/en/download)
Best of Luck

Damn those porn sites!:jawdrop:
A systems restore should fix it. Lets you restart your computer back to a known working date.
I hope it gets fixed soon so you can post some of your pics.
Hope all is well, too!
