And did *you* provide an answer earlier? You apparently think this is
Microsoft tech support - which it isn't - or that somehow answers are
"owed" to posters. All of us who post on this newsgroup do so as
volunteers, on our own time. Frankly, sometimes after spending 14 hours
cleaning up infected Windows machines, I don't feel like answering some
more virus-related questions in a newsgroup or have the energy to give
a full explanation of backing up to someone. I do enjoy helping people
and I try to post at least a little every day. However, this is a
*volunteer* activity, like a lawyer doing pro bono work. There are many
other resources to help with Windows problems, starting with Google and
including /Yellow Pages/Computer Repair.
Here are some links explaining about Usenet so that you can adjust your
expectations:
