[QUOTE="MutantRanch, post: 359873, member: 34851"] The darn COM Surrogate malware you all seem to know about somehow got on my computer. I haven't been using that box for several months now but need to use it again.... It's an older model computer with VISTA so I'm thinking of just purchasing Windows 7 or 8 and installing that operating system. I don't know if doing only that is enough to remove the malware though. Can you answer that for me? I do not have the original operating system disks or recovery disks or whatever they're called. There are no programs or files on this computer that I need to recover. I just want to clean-sweep it and upgrade the Windows. [/QUOTE]
