I've heard of the ability to wipe out drives other than C: but I think those are the kind you have to DL and open like a moron.
Stay away from those porn sites* and warez sites*, don't open up file types that others send you, send all your e-mail list buddies the "I'm going to hunt you down and kill you if you send me one more chain letter", or conversely, use THEIR e-mail address for web sites requiring an address to join, blah blah blah blah blah
*other than the sites I go to - those are virus free ;)

It's a laptop, so only one 80 gig HD.
I tried everything I could to get rid of this crap. It was using my computer to mail spam, barraging me with popups, among other things. I used Spybot, Norton, HiJack This, Ad-Aware, AVG... nothing was working. I tried booting under safe mode, and deleting it, no good. So, after all that, is why I resorted to extreme measures.
And yes, it was my fault, I got it from a warez site... vicious little bugger. I learned my lesson, though. :D
