[Resolved] Locked-out with Trojan-downloaded.JS.CA-Please HELP!

My apologies for posting this question as I'm sure it has been asked many times before. I've been up since last night at 2AM trying to fix this and my eyes are getting tired. My whole body is getting tired, yes? Initially it seemed as I had some control of the computer, but as I migrated to ***format c:/***, it locked me out totally. I think all that I have now is a black screen. I have ordered another hard drive but would REALLY like to fix this and thumb my nose at the B*****d that did this. Problem is that I am helpless. Is there a start-up disk that I can make to get outside of this trojan? ANY help, and I mean ANY help is greatly appreciated! -dave- Medford, Oregon

Are you intending to reformat and reinstall your Operating System, or just clean the infection and keep the current installation?

Initially, I wanted to just nuke the trojan, but it was so bad and I was desperate for a quick fix so reluctantly begin the reformat this evening. We'll see how it goes as there are a number of drives in the machine but I'm hoping it only affects c:

If I'm not successful, I'll bother you again.

Thanks for your help, my friend.
