Yes, although it can take several days of polishing, when done by hand. Regards, Dave Hodgins -- Change nomail.afraid.org to ody.ca to reply by email.

If 'twas me, I'd not even wait the 24 hours, 'cause ya know it's not going to stop until something drastic is done. > How is it going to be spewing mass mailing worms if the ability to > send email is terminated ? How is anyone else in danger of being > infected, since this machine can't email ? You're showing your lack of knowledge on how these things work. Mass mailers have their own SMTP engine and do not use your email client. And it doesn't even need email (that's what the spammers do though). Your trojan could also be pinging sequential IP addresses, looking for PCs without firewalls. -- -bts -Four wheels carry the body; two wheels move the soul

If you are jsut re-installing the OS from scratch, the OIS distribution disk will allowyou to remove any/all partitions and recreate the partitions and perform a FULL Format (rather than a quick format).
