Really? I'd say you're defeated the moment your PC got hit.
> I'de say you give it 30 Minutes to an hour
An hour to clean up infections? I'm impressed. I wasted a week trying to
remove friggin trojan infections. Ended up reformatting/reinstalling OS.
It's quicker, easier and guaranteed it's 100% clean.

Unlike some people I don't have days/weeks to spend cleaning craps from PCs.
I admit that sometimes I'm curious too. So I spend a day or two attempting
to get rid of infections. If it keeps popping back... heck... format it.
Somehow I don't feel safe using a PC even after virus infections have been
cleaned unless the PC gets reformatted and the OS is freshly reinstalled.
99.9999% of the time I end up reformatting. Yeah, I'm that kind of person.
