[Luc Coutu]

Hi,
A hour ago, I have also been infected by the win64/patched.a virus. I see that you get very busy with this one, would you be able to help to get rid of it.

I'm using Window 7 Professionnel (french version) with 64bits.

Thank you in avance.

I can,t get to the "Advanced Boot Options". When I press F8 on the BIOS loading page, nothing happen. I have Phoenix BIOS on Windows 7 Professionnel. My laptop is a HP pavilion entertainment PC. I have red on the net that maybe it is because of a BIOS passport?
