Ok I understand what you mean. I didn't realize I left out 'system' from "i wiped my HD clean" and it appeared I only had one drive on my computer. The only other clues are in the rootkit reveal log where it shows a drive C: and E: and the infections found by DR web, which shows an f: drive, but they could easily be assumed as partitions on the same disk, hence all wiped at once.... I'm glad you see that my ultra fresh install wasn't going to have made this all in vain, but i'm very sorry the misunderstanding has created this newer issue... hopefully it's not far from cleaned, if not already?
