Oh I Give Up

[tralalala]

well, heres how it goes:

yesterday i went to crackheaven.com and tried to download a crack, i had to accept something but after i clicked "yes" i cancelled it.

now, wenever i turn on my PC, the only thing that works is the internet, and even thats not 100% perfect...
i tried deletingthis thing on safemode, and did a virus scan...

nothing.

what do i do?! please, im in agony!!

System restore?

What was this "thing" that you had to accept?
Some sort of porn redirector, no doubt...

it appears to be somethign called "Roings engine"... :huh:
seemed to install me some kinda toolbar for explorer that is like yahoobar (you can search for MP3, Music, news etc.)...

man... i dont know if system resotre will help (ill try it soon, when i get home... actually, im not even sure ill be able to open the properties of this systemrestore... bercause the PC wont allow me to open anything)

also, i went to safe mode and deleted the roing engine, and when i restarted, it STILL didnt work - i went back to safemode and it was there again (this roings shit)

Get hold of search & destroy (Spybot) & ad-aware & run that & it should get rid of any spyware, but you have a software program running i bet, u got to find it :S hope it is in the add & remove, otherwise backup everything u need & get the dusty windows disc out :S

from now on, whatever they say, don't believe it. adware/spyware installers love to tell you that you must install their bullshit just to look at a webpage or download a crack, but this is completely untrue. whether you click yes or no, or just close the installer, 99.99999999% of the time it will have no effect at all on whether you are able to get the page or download you wanted. it's just a trick, and nothing more. :frusty:

man, this is such a pain in the ass... i cant access ANYTHING located within my computer unless i run windows under safe mode...
man... ill see if adware/search & destroy will do any good...

PLUS

i removed this roings engine in the ad/remove under safe mode, but it "reappeared" afterwards (ran windows in safemode again)

hmph.... this is going to be my third reformat of windows within a month and a half... im considering stopping downloading stuff from the internet :helpsmile: :ghostface: :frusty: :&#39;( :&#39;( :&#39;( :&#39;( :&#39;( :&#39;( :&#39;(

When you complete your Complete installing Windows i suggest you do these things to safe guard you PC.

1) Get hold of a Firwall, anyone but i prefer Zonalarm as it&#39;s easy to understand & use.

2) Get Spybot (Search & Destory) And make sure you run this every 2 weeks or so to make sure you PC is clean, also update as well.

3) Get Ad-Aware, this is another Spyware killer, but with Spybot it covers all angles of spyware.

4) If you dl from kazza & Bt, then get hold of peerguardian, as this blocks all the major companies eg Sony,Fox, Unverisal Studios etc from getting a connection from you, if effect they don&#39;t know what you are dl & up.

5) Get norton Anti-Virus With GoBack, now when ever you do something silly, like installing software that you shouldn&#39;t have done or if you computer crashes, then go back replace the system to a point in the day, or the begining of the day.


Thats what i use on my computer at the moment & i&#39;am free of spyware & problems with PC crashing.
