I opened a Dreamweaver zip file, and before my PC defences could react, the Katusha.B.Pak swarmed all over it, and despite fighting rearguard action, it actually killed the MBR on the hard drive, which is a fatal error.
I lost all data and software, it took me nearly two hours to get the PC to boot up, and ive spent 20 hours ploughing through hundreds of CD's finding copies of sofware and keys for them.
What really annoys me is the data ive lost, i deliberately kept it on a separate drive, and this virus actually jumped discs and corrupted the MBR on the secondary drive as well. Ive lost hundreds of word documents, videos collected over many months, language lessons, images, archives files, web stuff, just gigabytes of work.
I really ponder the point of this virus. You can under stand a virus that steals your id or your bank details, ie its there to defraud you, bu this virus just trashes your machine. Id love five minutes alone with the sick little **** who wroteit.
