@eric_son, yes I have used Linux on some old drives and that was going to be my backup plan. I did do a hard shutdown first in order to find the nasties.

@phil, I did get rid of the win xp antispyware 2012 program first. It had opened the floodgates of virus hell to let in the other trojans/virus after disabling my current programs. I now have active scanning of all traffic/downloads and blocks on suspicous sites.

@zathros, (windoze) was used to replace the missing or corrupted system/exe files. I would love to afford a system with more than 800GB, but with both of us on a limited income, it makes it hard. I can still dream. I remember working with 64K! Before that was the punched tape/cards and my alltime favorite 'manual binary calculator'. Now where did I put that sliderule?

@ all, It may be the thrill of the hunt for me to spend so much time in clearing out my demons. You're right, just get rid of them and have more time for paper modeling.
