The #1 canned response from M$ technut is always reinstall Windows, or some other bullshit answer. It doesn't matter if your sound is only coming out of one speaker or if your peepee fell off, it's always the same bullshit answers. At least with Ubuntu or Fedora, there are people with knowledge and help forums to get shit fixed.

The same can be said for Windows...you just have to not call support. Use the online resources, the MS KB has everything though you might have to read some forums to figure out exactly what you need.
Also, removing rootkits is fun if you have a day to burn. I killed one using Cheat Engine once...it was hiding from Task Manager (duh rootkit) but CE pulled up the real process list and let me inject a huge text file like a DLL. Apparently programs don't like that because after I did that I was able to find and delete all files added that day and it was over.
Not making new files often saved my ass, there were so many files and missing any 1 restored the rest on next boot. There were even trojanized versions of every command exe for cmd.exe. I came up with "just delete everything from today" after a few hours...

How about you *don't* go to their forum and instead format everything and start again.
