I have Norton AV, and managed to get a virus from downloading Climates of Tamriel. Norton still can't erase it and I'm not entirely sure how to rid myself of it. If anyone has any pointers, hit me up. Virus name is boot.pihar. Thanks :smile: There are a few tools that are specific to certain hard to remove viruses - google the virus name and it may come up with one - But be careful. Your virus is what is called a rootkit - and these are especially nasty. Try a NON windows linux based rescue disk - there are several free ones available - I use the Kapersky 10 - http://support.kaspersky.com/4162 You may have to reinstall your Windows Master Boot Record to get windows to work again.
