Re: What is perl doing right? Perl can access internet

in reply to What is perl doing right? Perl can access internet - browser, telnet, others cannot

In my experience, when some malware like that hits a Windows system, there's no telling what else has been tampered with to cause trouble in the future. It would be best to consider a full-on re-installation of Windows.

That said, after re-installation of all favorite software, backup your OS partitions!

This will give you an exact snapshot that you can recover faster than performing installs again.

In my opinion it is always worth trying a Repair Install on Windows without using Recovery Console before going for a clean install. On many occasions after a virus issue or BSOD I have seen a full recovery using this method.	[reply]
