Phil Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 What virus-scanner have you got/used? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jargon Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 your system is screwed up severly...i've had this type of virus before and...they are a pain...'] 1] getting a task manager of any type, wont help all that much, yes maybe you can close the program that's running [ie limewire] but, you arent really solving the problem, you are just, sorta, limiting it... Really, you have 3 options. 1] Install some form of a virus scanner [if you still can] [not free virus scanners...] and try and get the virus out that way. 2] seek professional help, take t e computer to a repairman to try and remove the virus. 3] This is what i ended up doing...complete systems format...as in install A fresh new version of windows. [don't do this unless you know what you are doing] and last, but not keast, when you do resokve this problem, BE SMART dont download useless stuff, limewire especially...they come with all sorts of nasty things....

Stuart_G Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 Dont resort to formating yet. Did you try to get rid of it with a virus scanner? If you dont have one, i suggest you get AVG Free Edition. Install that and do a scan in safe mode. To get to safe mode, hit F8 rapidly on start up and when you should get a list with a bunch of start up options, pick safe mode and run the virus scan from there. If your wondering what safe mode it, its windows but is using the bare essentials to run, so hopefully the virus wont start up, but i cant guarentee this. Also, are you using limewire free? If you are, get rid of it, its rubbish. <mod edit - software piracy references here are NOT allowed! ~Albosky> So dont resort to a wipe of your hard drive yet, there is still help out there :) Off topic: 100 posts. About time, its only taken me about a year or something :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 I ASSUME YOU USE WINDOWS? big big big mistake, this would of never happened if you used linux... *cries* another person that suffers from bill gates If you have nothing helpful to say then just don't post. It may be true but it doesn't help in the slightest. Da_Hybrid1: You never even answered my question... I suggest doing what Stuart has suggested. reformatting is a last resort.
