What is that meant to do?

[worldvengence]

sorry...not format...restore..if u have ur comp set to create restore points periodically....bad wording

[Phaelon]

Update virus definitions, restart in safe mode, perform a full system scan.

Use common judgement, don't open it if you don't know the sender =p

[Octavian]

Right, I've done a system scan, Windows seems to say that the volume is clean now. But damn, I don't want to do it once a week, it's so boring.

[AztecWarrior]

Try not to shut down if you can help it.

[Cyanide]

It could have been a worm. There are some worms that don't require you to do anything but open the email in order to infect your system. If you're CPU usage is still high, check your processes and it should tell you what process is using the CPU. If it's one that you don't recognize, end it.

Oh yeah, and just because you know who the email is from doesn't mean it's not a virus. Lots of viruses will fordge the from address and make it look like it's from somebody you know.

Format C:\\*.*

[Octavian]

The CPU usage is hanging between 5 and 100%. I don't want to have to reformat.

[Cyanide]

Can you determine what process(es) are using the CPU?

[Octavian]

Oh I'll give you a list, there's a few that I know, like explorer.exe

Ah damn, I'm bad at posting images. Should I perhaps email the three images to you?

[Squeeky]

YOU HAVE BEEN HAX0RED GOOD DAY SIR

[Octavian]

Ah damn, I was hoping you wouldn't post here. At least Dhark was nice enough to help me.

Squeeky, just go to sleep. I came here asking for help.
