I understand what you're saying. I just wasn't sure if you knew what
Spinrite was for (hey, not everyone uses the same tools). Just as some of us
use HiJack This! and some use Autoruns. 

Please do post if you find discussions on these. I've probably read them
before but it never hurts to read them again as this is stuff I have to deal
with constantly, just as you probably have to :o(

True, but Spinrite does not clear any data as you said and once the OS
starts up again, if a piece of malware is/was 'hidden' in some position on
the hard drive, it is just re-tagged as a bad track and the app carries on.
There was an article on the whole process of these new super bugs but I can
not even remember when and where I read it, but I will definitely post it if
it appears up.
