I was hit with DioCleaner adware on Monday, which changed my desktop, homepage, etc., etc. I did nothing. On Tuesday, I figured it was one of those annoying Microsoft update things, so I hit FREE SCAN and saved it to my software downloads folder. Bad decision. My computer then slowly grew out of my control. I looked up DioCleaner on another computer, to try to figure out how to get rid of it. When I found the manual process, I went to go do it... alas, I couldn't open my task manager. It had hijacked my system and completely disabled me from doing anything to neutralize it. I tried restore points, they didn't work. I tried wiping the hard drive and re-installing Windows, but it can't successfully start up in any mode, or boot from the CD... I bought a new hard drive today, installed it, and the same problem, it can't successfully start up. My question is this: Did the DioCleaner affect something other than my Hard Drive? If so, can it be fixed without paying out the wazoo? And how?
