Pc Dont Work Properly... Virus? Help Pls!

[Wolfmight]

a real tip:

The truth is, if you didnt start fresh with a good Antivirus and Firewall (fully updated).. then you might not even have a chance. Alot of viruses target and prevent Antivirus software from being installed... it's a crewl world out there, but you can lower your chances with protection. (Sort of like sex and a condom... you might even get aids without the condom..)


I suggest you back up your most valued data to a cd. (think: Documents, etc). Even if the virus implants inself on the cd, you are safe, because with a fresh start and fully protected os with an Av and Firewall.. you will kill that infection on the cd.

Now if curruption has gotten some of the data... You can actually still try by useing recovery software on a fresh and protected o/s.

Computers annoy some, while others outsmart them.

FFS, you've proven your point now give the guy a break.

Yes FFS, but, nonetheles... you are all still funny and correct. I thought I was immune, because nothing happened. I had NSW installed before I formatted, and figured I could go without it, and have done so for a while. Like I said, nothing major on this drive except the OS and some other appz, and some tunes.... which I ripped myself. Anyways, thanks for the help, we shall see what becomes of it.

Later.

I am not blaming anyone for anything, wow what responses. I just said I had a problem and wondered if anyone new. I have Ad-aware and Spybot, ... I also have Norton Systemworks, although the one I have doesnt seem to boot properly. Anyway, its on my C: drive where I have only my appz which are replacable, but its a pain. Anyway, thanks for the links I hope it works.... if not oh well... I will have the av next time I format.

Cheers.
