Yep same "System Tool" virus problem on my end. Best Buy Geek Squad wants $200 to do a simple recovery. Pays to keep your Owner's manuals gang. Had to use my on-board disc recovery feature plus the recovery disc in the box is a nice back up. Virus takes over your system and wants a credit card number to clear up the problem. Yeh right I'm gonna do that (not). Always start with your Owners manual if you are attempting a system recovery (read carefully before proceeding). Downside is all of my favorites and data files go away. Good argument to back up your files at least weekly. Then make sure you are still running a good anti virus program and turn it on before you get on the internet. Scan for viruses when ever you are on the internet and afterwards as well.
