View 1 Replies View Relateda friend of mine called with a pc problem. he was given a computer, i believe a pentium 4, i haven't been over yet so i'm not sure exactly whats going on.evidently it was working fine but has been sitting for a while. he knows practically nothing about computers. the problem is all the junk that is on it. it has win xp, but he doesn't have any discs to reformat. i told him it would be best to wipe the harddrive clean and start over but how does he do that or clean up the existing mess. it appears hes got some spyware, bugs and junk because he says stuff keeps popping up, duplicating itself etc. he just had dsl installed through bell south and now he's kind of stuck so he called me

View 1 Replies View Relatedfor some reason i was under the impression that my work computer had virus protection. well... nope. i had to reload the o/s (windows 2000 pro) after the computer crashed but fortunately i lost none of my data, mostly because i keep it on a thumb drive so i can work on it at home. i now have norton AV on it and got rid of more than 14 viruses or threats, and now i am wondering if anything else was left that wasn't detected. oh, and the computer is a dell optiplex gx150 workstation.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have no idea what's going on, but my computer, a Dell Inspiron, has only 1 GB of Local Disk (C left on it. Now, for the past 8 months, i've been editing & burning DVD's and films using editing software like Adobe Premiere Pro 1.5, etc, and i've never had a problem. I've always had at least 50 GBs (or so i believe) of free space at any given moment when messing around with that stuff. When editing today, I was alerted that my local disk C was running low, and once i agreed to do a 'clean-up' of some sort to remove temporary internet files & offlines files, etc, i got a problem. Suddenly, my system was unstable and I had 3 MB of free space.
View 14 Replies View Relatedalthough, I work in the it field, my specialty is not in adware/trojan or virus removal when the major vendors norton/mcafee refuse to delete the file. I've acquired and run hijack this and need some assistance in deciphering it as my system keeps freezing recently and it is really driving me a bit crazy since I don't have as much time as I would like to investigate each and every file that seems to be appearing through virus scans and startup utilities.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am not sure if it is worded correctly, but I have a big problem. My pc is flooded with viruses. It is getting to the point where I need to take action right away.I have been searching online and have actually found some great ideas. But I have a greater problem. I can not download any .exe files. I believe its my temp folder that is messing up. I keep getting messages telling me various things can not work because emp is corrupt. When I try to download stuff from the net I get messages telling me that the file could not be saved because of an unknown error. I believe its a virus causing it, but I'm not sure. I would really love if someone could help me. I am a novice so I don't know what information I should post about my system to receive help.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI noticed one day that my computer was acting nuts. Lots of pop up windows saying my computer was infected with a virus, and that annoying bomb/warning sign blinking light. I went out and bought a new anti-virus pacakge (ZoneAlarm) because apparently whatever I had was failing. And it had been awhile since I had taken care of this... It found several viruses and cleaned them, but as soon as those were cleaned, I got different pop-ups telling about a different virus.
The next day I restart my computer and get the BLUE SCREEN (boooooooo!) and wasn't able to get anywhere beyond that. I tried everything that I knew how to do, and then I finally reinstalled Windows. I don't know if this was the smart thing to do, though, because I just ended up partioning my hard drive, so everything on my C: is still actually on my computer and accessible, although I guess I am actively running off of a different hardrive So these viruses are still on my computer,
I've been having tons of trouble trying to remove spyware and adware from my computer, I've tried multiple different programs but have been unable to clean them all out.

Other viruses like "Worm-blebla.B" and "VBS-ILoveyou" will also assault computers if users open e-mails or attachments disguised with Valentine blessings.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI will like to know from the Cnet uses that use windows xp sp2 to tell me how many viruses that they has on their pc. My record number is 105 viruses when doing a full system scan with the full paid version and updated version of Norton anti-virus 2004! I was surprised that i had that many viruses when i had been running norton for 3 or 4 months running full system scans once a week and a quick scan once everyday. I later then uninstalled norton becuase my computer was going too slow and installed avast antivirus. The first scan that i ran with avast as soon as i installed it found another 24 viruses. That is a total of 129 viruses.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI just had to reinstall windows xp on my computer because of viruses. Everything went ok. This morning I tried to change the display resolution apparently too high. Or maybe the driver wasn't updated or something. Anyway, the computer starts booting up but then brings up the message 'Attention Out the Range H:72.00kHz V:72.00 Hz'. I booted into safe mode and deleted the account where I tried to change the resolution but it still won't get past the bootup screen before giving the frozen up attention message.
