    Upon booting, I got that message saying "Press any key to boot from CD" like you said. So I pressed a key and then this was the very next screen.

    Oh, I already sent you a response but it doesn't show here... strange.

    Upon booting, I got that message "Press any key to boot from CD" you told me about, so I pressed a key and then, the very next screen was the one identical to windows 7.

    Very strange.
    Click "Next" button and let me know about next screen.

    Do NOTHING else.

    Very well.
    Select "repair your computer " and continue with other steps from my reply #98.

    Ok... I followed all your steps but it didn't boot; I got a blue screen saying there was an error and it automatically restarted. For fear I'd damage my computer, upon restarting automatically, I tapped f8 to go into safe mode.

    Did both commands executed successfully?

    What is the exact error when you try to boot normally?

    Yes, I think both commands executed successfully but I'm not absolutely positive. I don't recall reading about anything failing though. The exact error described in the blue screen is really long (the whole screen is filled with words) and don't have time to type it but it looks the same as all previous blue screens I got whenever I tried to boot pc normally before and after virus. If you really need to know what the blue screen error says, I can try to boot normally again and then as soon as blue screens comes on, I can record in my digital voice recorder what it says and then post it here.

    "whenever I tried to boot pc normally before and after virus" should read:

    "whenever I tried to boot pc normally before (after virus)"

    Maybe you were going to ask me to run the disk again... In any case, I'd rather err on the side of caution...
