Wo ow oh, look at that computer killed its self, I hate u so much computer, i spit on u Options

Ok well the list is long, but basicly the computer has to restart twice before it fully loads up and stays on.

Its full of viruses, and hackers are all in it, Nortan Antivirus and Firewall have both been disabled by some F*** so they are screwed beyond repair, so the computer is open to anything.

Ow and i thought i could use system restore to get it all back to normal,,,Yeh its F***ed!!!!

Not to mention variuos shut downs and internet disconnections, I hate it some much!!!!

format the computer..

you can try www.housecall.antivirus.com

that is an online virus scan... try it first..

but i recomend formating the hard drive because the virus could have mess up the registry causing your system to be unstable..

yep, its all not good news for a while i think

i just used a spyware finder, yeh it found 1738 files and folders of the sh*t. it took me like 45mins to delete it all.

Ow and as for the hard drive its only 8.9g so its already got problems of its own. But the new 160g external comes in a few days, then i can back everythig up and reformat!!!!!

Yay hopefully everything will be ok other wise i will through its arse across the room and out the window

WOW, I find 20 at most when I scan, thats nuts man, Like Hanyo said its always good start fresh! I try and reformat like every 3 months, though this comp is still on its first install and that was 5 months ago, but I've kept up on the maintanence.

Virus scan, spyware scan, disk cleanup, diskscan, and disk defrag should have it running alot better.

be very aware of what you backup, you might transer the virus etc as well, so only take what you have to, and anouther thing, I think it would be best (since its only a 8gig) burn cd's instead do like 10 cd's and when the new one is up and running transfer things one at a time, then if you reinfect the computer you'll know what caused it and be able to re-format and keep that cd out of the pile till you can nerrow down the infected file even farther till you figure it out exactly.

to be safe when you back up stuff, start your computer up without the internet/network plug in, transfer the files ONLY WHAT YOU HAVE TO HAVE AND CANT REPLACE if you want more tips just ask, i have delt with some bad virouses in my time, one even ended up gaining access to passwords etc for my ebay and hotmail accounts, They tried to sell a 05 focus with my ebay account and almost got away with it had i not found out at the last min.

when you reformat use mozilla firefox (mozilla.org) it will stop pop ups and spyware, most if it anyway..

I would have to give a big negative on that one, just a personal opinon, but popup blockers are all over the place and easy to get, i would just stick with what you got, and update your sercuity.

dl mozilla firefox they just released a new version, trust me its so much better i mean the old one was awsome. But the new one is badass they fixed the scripting so websites that didnt work right before now work perfect. they also added new pop blocker stuff to block even more.

sweet, only a couple more days and it should all be ok. but until then its a bitch!

and a question for re-formating, how do u go about this, do u need to reinstall windows ect. coz i dont have the XP disks anymore, i can see this going bad already...
