[QUOTE="93803123, post: 836110"] The average user could do this, but why would they want to ? 1. Bare metal any attached storage and start all over again 2. Wipe cloud storage or start all over again with newly created cloud storage 3. Flash BIOS and reinstall 4. Reinstall all drivers - not just on the system but also all attached peripherals Good luck with all that. Meanwhile, despite the above extraordinary efforts, one can still get infected again via multiple vectors - let's start with something basic - like the router. [/QUOTE]
