I recently had a very nasty virus, which ate pretty much all of my system files forcing me to do a reformat and reinstall of windows. During the time I had the virus, my external HDD was attached to my computer and I fear that the little bugger may have hidden itself on it and be ready to re-destroy my computer as soon as I open the folder. I plugged the HDD in once, after turning off all possible means of it auto-running, but unplugged it out of fear, after blocking the first 3 things to pop up from my comodo firewall. If anyone could give me a hand in figuring this out, I would much appreciate it.
