Broken Windows: Clean-up or Rebuild?
,----[ Quote ]
| "Clean-up on a Windows machine is no longer consistently done quickly
| because there are more and more procedures to run through, and a lot
| more tools people have to install to check -- in a step-by-step
| procedure -- whether things are hidden or not," Laundanski said.
| "It's up to the [user] whether they really want to go through this
| long exacerbated process of clean-up. If they can take their files
| off of there and get them scanned somewhere, and then just
| re-install the entire [operating system], that probably the
| quickest and safest solution. A lot of times people don't want
| to do that...they want to fight the infection, they want to know
| exactly what happened, or figure out how they got hit and fix it."
