a few other questions
1) should i uninstall superantispyware, malwarebytes, hijack this?
2) I stay away from IE, I use chrome, opera, and safari and I might go back to firefox...I like firefox the best but it was acting weird...maybe because of the malware.
3) about 1 month ago I backed up (made an image using acronis 10) my 2 HDrives to a removable drive should I reformat that drive and do a clean backup?
thanks !!!
