A long time ago when I was a kid. I used some virus removal program to get rid of it.

I'm sure everyone has, at least back in the day.

I remember there was a website that would give you a virus if you were trying to go to google.com but made an easy typo

And it's not like browsers did anything to prevent you from getting viruses back then

Yeah like around '04 from a movie DL.

I reformatted my HD and started from scratch.Needed to anyways because I had just bought a second faster HD just for games and wanted to just install what I wanted for my OS HD

Really old Gateway right after college. I just drilled the hard drive and tossed it.

System wipe, usually. I kept all my essentials in individual hard drives.

This. Reinstall Windows from scratch. This was before harddrive imaging and it would take all weekend to reinstall your games and programs.

Oh yeah, and everything was on a cd with 8x speed max.

Not quite the dark ages but I wouldn't go back even for nostalgia's sake.
