Nadril Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 Without a doubt it is a virus. Reboot in safe mode and scan from there. edit: lol he called you a niglet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blade995 Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 umm how do i run it in safe mode #-o i forgot #-o edit: you think i didnt notice? press f8 repeatedly when you turn on your computer on until you see a screen that gives you boot options. Select "safe mode with networking" to have your internet work so you can update your scanners before scanning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uzimakikid Posted June 13, 2007 Author Share Posted June 13, 2007 okay scanned but i found nothing relating to it finally i got a picture of the code it gives!! maybe that will help? hey if i do that same thing in cmd it says "a system shutdown is already in progress" interesting Click it or Ticket =D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodl Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 Load in safe mode and delete the batch file. It's a very neat and popular trick, I've done it quite a few times on my friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bufoman Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 Sounds like the old Welch Virus, it did that to me a few years ago... Was A real pain getting the Fix and running the Scan. speeking of potential Fixes try Microsofts Aproach, its the Malicious Software Removal Tool which can be found Here: http://www.microsoft.com/security/malwa ... fault.mspx and make sure you got all the Microsoft Updates.

It's not a virus, somebody planted a batch file run at startup that shuts down his computer, nothing more. It can easily be fixed by going to safemode and go to startup tab in msconfig and uncheck the file from starting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was probably just a friend pulling a prank on him or something. :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
