Yay for excessive random bursts of malware, trojan, worms and whatnot [/sarcasm]

So, I get home from a math exam, feeling well, all things considered it hadn't been a bad day at all. After a little relaxation I turn on the stationary. Everything looking like it should...
BAM. First warning pops up. This-virus-what's-its-name has been found, should be moved to the virus chest, etc. etc...
Fine. Move to virus chest. 5 seconds later...
BAM. Next warning pops up. Another virus-trojan-thingie has been found, yadda yadda yadda, move to virus chest.
Ok, fair enough, there were two in a row, not like that hasn't happened before.
BAM. Next one. Same standard warning, yadda yadda yadda... Move to chest. WRONG! File is in use, could not handle file, whine, whine, whine. Fine, manual location, deletion, whatever. Wrong AGAIN. Pressing the start button and my comp crashes...
Restart, more virus warnings, more immovable/undeletable files, more comp crashes.

And then for the grand finale! Some carpfish program I've never *bleep*ing heard about, or remember ever having on my comp is suddenly missing a file. Now all I get when starting up is an error message about the missing file, a black screen and the mouse to fiddle around with. My computer now consists of being able to click a button once per startup and then moving the mouse around.
WHOOP-DEE-*BLEEP*ING-DOO!

And I had several gigs of anime that I haven't even gotten started on as well as all my games

You could boot into safe mode and copy off the anime and games, provided they aren't infected.

I'm not entirely sure how to do that. It's something with pressing F8 at some point during start-up, right?

Right now I'm plotting on buying a larger HD, installing it as the master drive and removing the other one while I set it up. Then I'll set the infected drive in as secondary drive and run a full virus scan on it. Hopefully, it'll clean it up. Otherwise I'll just delete the entire OS from that drive and start using it as a slave drive instead. Cause I'm pretty sure that's where the viruses are hiding.

hmm, that should work. I'd probably do a virus scan on the slave drive, copy any important data to the master drive and then wipe it clean.

FIX'D!
Now I just have to figure out why Firefox keeps freezing up my comp everytime I have more than 3 active tabs.
