    though google chrome does allow Netflix playback, where as Explorer hasn't allowed playback since the virus hit. ....oh, btw,, I don't know how to reproduce the error msg, but initially after infection I got a couple warnings, while using Explorer, stating that my laptop had been infected with...

    virus -can't access drives, or install. Can't restore.

    k, tried recovery from start up menu (f11 tap...) but it failed once I got to the file backup section as no files were found on C:\. I tried a few times. Neither would recovery run by bypassing backup as "no recovery image was found." Also failed to reset, and refresh. Also, I tried running the...

    I was hoping it was just messed up file associations and there was a simple way to fix that, since I don't know what the defaults are. Also, when I was looking at my file ext. associations I couldn't find an .exe (which seems to be the main problem). Closest was an .ex_ I think.

    virus -can't access drives, or install. Can't restore.

    can't run/install Macrium or any program for that matter. Only workaround I can figure is to burn an .iso image onto an ext. drive (1 TB) and boot from USB.

    virus -can't access drives, or install. Can't restore.

    thnx. I think its a virus cause I've gotten error msg's stating my computer was infected ...but it could be a coincident. My file associations do seem messed up but I'm not real familiar with such things.

    virus -can't access drives, or install. Can't restore.
