computer virus

plze help

Well, debugging your entire drive is not quick, but you can download some free anti-virus software (try Mcafee, maybe)

Most of the viruses you should be able to either quarrantine or delete.

But from what it sounds like, you stepped on a cyber shitload of trip mines.

Download anti-pop up software also. If this does not fix your problems, open windows task manager - go to processes and print screen and upload image here so I can take a look at it. (make sure to get all the processes) because sometimes virus can release auto-start up programs that clump processor speed.

thanks ill try one i really want to fix my pc

NO dont use McaFee! it is shit in a box!

Avast, but I don't think that's a free one.

Avasts is free and it is good

ty you guys for trying help, right now im typing from laptop, barely enough control on pc to turn on without toolbar missing or somthing took 4 times last time. im trying scan wwith my norton security right now then kill if works. i hope i get my computer back.

Reformat it. Insert Windows installation CD, press "F2" or whatever during startup. Run from CD drive. Select that you want to reinstall Windows when the CD loads up from startup. When selecting destination drive to install Windows, delete the infected partition (usually "C:" and create a new partition there. Select this new partition as the destination drive. Install. Ta-da. Remember to back useful things up on a separate partition, and don't delete the separate partition when reinstalling. Also, make sure your CD key for Windows works, as for some reason, mine didn't, which is why I cannot access my computer right now =(

Reformatting your PC because of a few measly viruses and junk-files is kind of excessive. But what the hell. go for it. I have done it multiple times just to get my processor un-clogged. But, usually your original drive (c:) will still exist on My Computer as a drive that is unusable.

Eh? That's kind of weird. Just delete C:/, then create a new partition C:/ and reinstall Windows into that partition. Why would you have a useless partition C:/ in that case?

delete C: ?? That sounds like one crazy action...

Delete C:/ in the Windows Setup partition manager... Not by going to "My Computer" and deleting it from there xD.

Yeah, Doompig, I kind of know what to do, I am not retarded. I was just pointing out that usually happens, so make sure you delete the original drive before starting up windows on your new drive instead of just creating a new drive and transfering files.

Jesus, ever heard of a warning?

Thanks doompig i was gonna do that but saw F10 system recovery i tried and it worked deleted none of my files but made my system virus free and way faster than before TY everyone im so happy now.

So....Now that you are virus free, what where you doing when you got the virus? I have a good guess, but I was just curious.

Just a tip for the future, Hamada, do not rely on System Restore alone. It may have worked now, but I can guarantee you will have problems in the future it will not fix (unless you purchase the ultra-paranoid latest version of Norton). Just keep that in mind.

To be honest, HMC, I do not think he has reached that level of development in his life to be downloading such things.

NO HMC i was not doing what you think i was doing. I was downloading somthing for Halo CE , and im not that type of person.

Either I'm mistaken, or HMC has been hanging around me too much. I'm probably mistaken though. Sick-minded chicks these days =/

Is that really a bad thing compared to the way people used to be back in the 50's?

^^ What? The 50's? Cavemen chicks?

Yes, the 1950's. Before the Sex Revolution.

BTW, Cavemen chicks would be similar to those today, because back in the cavemen times they were constantly in a state of copulation.

I... don't see what you mean. But lets pretend I do for the sake of the arguement.
