There's a very simple way to remove it...plug your computer in. This is one of those "nasty" viruses that survive without electricity. It doesn't know how to handle watts and volts so it removes itself under those circumstances. Trust me, it works.

Oh-Oh, then you are in trouble. You are the type of computer user that this virus was made for. I think this might work though. I haven't tested it yet, but I have met many Amish people. I know how they write their viruses, so I think we can fix this.

Go out and find an old toaster (or anything with a power cord that you can take the cord off of). Next, make sure the battery is OUT when you do this next part. You will need to tape (I would use duct tape) the power cord to the back of the computer. Now put the battery back in and the virus will think you are using REAL electricity (because of the power cord) and will uninstall itself. Don't worry about plugging the cord in anywhere, it just looks at the back of the computer for any kind of electrical connection. Just to be safe though, go ahead and lay the cord near an outlet somewhere until the virus is gone.

Let me know if this works. It might be useful to other laptop owners as this vicious virus spreads.

Too late, I threw it in a pile of dead leaves and doused it in gasoline. Then, because it was a Toshiba, the battery spontaneously ignited and ended the short life ot the computer.

I forgot to mention, that is the number two way to get rid of it if the first one doesn't work.

Also, I wish you had mentioned it was a Toshiba. That is the one laptop the virus has no effect on. If it can't spell it, it can't infect it.
