The virus was in isidious beyond my experience. It stopped all my anti-virous abilities and even some other, I use McAfee and installed Malwarebytes. I could not run Task Manager. I was afraid to do anything meaniful.So, great.
I was running fine for 2 days, updating everything I could from Microft and everythig was fineUntil I found they wanted to install SP1. I just thought was included in all the updates I had installed, but Ok I would do it.
No sweat.I then ran into many times. First I had to remove all my protection (made me crazed, but ok).That didn't help. I then removed all my apps. I downloaded an exe avoiding Windows Update.And I'm still stuck. Do I want to install Windows again and then install the SP1 exe?

You will need a legal reusable Microsoft Product Key. You will need a Windows 7 install disk. The win7 disk must match the edition of your product key, and its bitness (32 or 64). If you do not have the original Windows7 install disk, borrow one from a friend. Hopefully, the disk you use will be labeled SP1 (Service Pack 1), because that will save you an additional 4 hours or so. Place the Windows 7 install disk in the disk reader and start your computer. Once the install process is started, choose CUSTOM.
Ignore the check box about drivers, unless you can not proceed further. When you get to the place where it asks you where to put the installation, click Advanced and delete all partitions. When the installer asks about Windows update, choose Ask me later.
Do NOT install any programs, none. Hopefully, you started with a Win7 install disk that was SP1 (Service Pack 1).
