I kind of figured Geena lmao. And you are right, how people can do nothing but destroy other peoples lives I will never understand... I create to help people and am constantly fighting people that want to do nothing but spread hate. Definitely an uphill battle.

Give me a little bit and you can email them to me. I'm setting up a new email account that the site is going to use just in case my old one is compromised. I don't think it is, but with 6000+ members and their emails, I'm not taking any chances. Once I have it setup, you can email them to me and I will get them on the site as soon as I can. Just have to deal with this minor issue first which is going to take a little while to accomplish.

No problem ...just let me know when to send. When I get plans on that format I email them to the engineering dept where I retired from an they reproduce them, guess I'm lucky to have that service available an at no charge either..plus them guys extra heavy bond paper...just about bullet proof,especially in our Fab shop it had to have extra special repellant for ol"crusty...moody.... grumpy union pipefitters..it called a BS-1 treatment..spilled coffee don't even leave a mark..seriously haven't had any problems with the ones they have done for me as long as they maintain 1:1 ratio

Alright bro, you can send those files to rch@rc-help.com. This is a brand new, never used email address that will be used from now on for safety reasons. Not even I can remember that password on that account hahaha. I'm really tired of all of the issues that have come up and this is step 2 in my process. Step 1 was getting a VPN so that no one can see what it is that I'm doing online. Small price to pay for privacy.

I did, but it was not as secure as it could have been. Again, nothing appears to have been affected on the server.

@murankar from what we talked about on the phone, I decided to just use the windows installer USB that I had to go into CMD and use diskpart to clean the drive, then create a new partition, mark it active and then do a full format on the drive. And for a 500gb SSD, this is going to take a while. But at lease I know that ever sector on the disk will be destroyed and I can feel somewhat safe about reinstalling windows on it and going from there.

thats should be fine then. There is one other option for finalizing your formate is to do a disk shred. What it does is write zeros over every sector a few times to ensure all data is destroyed.

Yea, I used to have a DoD program that would write 0's, then 1's, and then a random 0's and 1's to completely destroy any data on a drive. Took HOURS to complete though lol.

You are right about that. Only other thing I can do now is to reflash the bios. Just heard from a buddy that some virus' can actually embed in the bios... Not taking any chances...

Yes they can but the likelihood is very minimal. Your not a prime target, at least I don't think you would be. You know how to handle a bios flash just make sure you have a good image and its current.

Downloaded a fresh image and already installed it. As old as this computer is, it was pretty basic. I really need to update my computers...
