Let the virus run its course? Are you kidding me? That's like asking a lion to babysit your kids.

Backing up important files? That's a good idea, but I'd do that after shutting down and rebooting. Can't risk the virus corrupting my backups.

Calling the authorities for an identity theft? That's a bit of an overreaction, don't you think? I'd rather just reboot from a clean disk.
