Moved to Security & Privacy Center.

Do you still have the file or the link with you? If yes then you can upload it here to check the areas it would harm.

You'll need to upload it in exe format. If the above is not enough, try this. Offers similar reports.

By restoring a factory image you should remove any malware on your system (atleast in that partition).

thanks. so C drive will be fine afterwards. im assuming D: with the factory files would be safe then. really dont want to wipe it too and use factory recovery disk. wasnt sure if it would make the D: drive files too.

plan on doing this this week. thanks.
