Not that it will help you in your current predicament, but I recommend running LINUX as your host OS and only run Windoze via VMWare. Snapshots are great. I maintain daily snapshots, which get wiped each weekend when I backup my VM to my NAS. On the NAS I maintain a rotation of 4 weeks worth of backups...My data is kept on "network" shares which are actually on the local host.

Food for thought.

When I attempt to download clam win for my windows box it always

I just discovered that I needed it because I was infected.....
everything broke on the laptop! I figured that it would be easier to
just reinstall a fresh instance of the OS rather than mess with
downloading the AV with a virus in the system. So that is what I
did..... I even got the network working again without asking. Well, I
called broadband tech support but I figured out what the problem was
before he did. I had set a static IP for the card  but the card didn't
like that. Perhaps I should dd the hd and then put a fresh instance on
it. Or is that just overkill?
