Almost impossible to back up the thing. It's possessed; can't see anything I put into the USB ports (e.g. microSD reader, normal SD reader, HDD MP3 player); it's branding them "unknown devices" (they're all plug and play and have been used recently on the same PC) and when I tried to write things onto a DVD it just stuck and the drive "door" wouldn't even open!
I have managed to back up the most critical files onto my EEE through BadBlue, but it's still a lot of stuff in that disk...
I will get spybot to see what it comes up with.
