I'm back up and running for now. Yes, the hardrive is new and never used. Got it at Circuit City. It seems what happened was that after I installed my dsl software it automatically connected me to the internet and the virus must have slipped in that fast. I didn't have a chance to set the firewall or get my virus programs installed before that. Just one big headache. Oh computers .. . they are great . . . when working properly.
