If you are good with computers or know anyone who is, just format your hard drive and then reinstall your windows. this should delete everything on your computer. including the virus. WARNING!! this will delete everything no matter what so make sure to save what you want on a CD or Flash Drive or a portable Hard Drive if you or one of your friends has one.

[enjoi_the_baker]

reinstall your cd's that came with the computer.
it doesnt necessarily delete everything, some files can still be found deep in your c drive.
just dont count on everything you want still being there

[Sk8 Or DiE]

yeah, like everybody else just said, reformat youre computer.

[peepster1005]

i would say take it in to somewhere (maybe like a Circut City, because they teamed up with GeekSquad, or maybe your local computer store if you have one, see what they say). but completely wiping out your entire hard drive should be the LAST resort in trying to get rid of the virus.

well last time my dad took it to the tech guy at his work, but im sure my dad doesnt wanna burden his friends with my stuff.

[eraseXtheXdoubt]

yup, that sounds like the blue screen of death, and there is no real solution to it except reformatting and reinstalling windows like everyone else has said...so this post is really pointless besides telling you the name of whats wrong..and why i am still typing i dunno
but good luck

i would definately recommend this in everyway, but just FYI Norton Anti-Virus isnt too cheap (well i remember it being expensive)...just a heads-up.

[eraseXtheXdoubt]

i have the 2008 version and it was only like 119.99 for a 2 year subscription

[marleyfan0]

well i had it but it expired so i got something call avast... and seriously i have a nickel, no joke.

[eraseXtheXdoubt]

got to www.download.com and get AVG Antivirus, it's a free program and it runs a great scan

[marleyfan0]

i can't get on my computer to download anything.

[crazy_dave]

Whatever you do, dont get any Norton software.

Use AVG. Although thats starting to go the same way as norton.

[rodneymullen123]

You could also you something called McAfee Security Center. That should help you clean it up.

[eraseXtheXdoubt]

so the comp isnt working at all?
if so then the only easy solution is to get a boot disc and redo your comp completely

[AdioBird52]

too much porn?

reformat/reinstall, 2 simple guidelines which worked for me.

[Ramprage]

yeah man spend your cash on a good AV - and don't download stuff from places that seems sketchy.

[marleyfan0]

i would but... the cd/dvd drives are not working since it went out...

[eraseXtheXdoubt]

i would but... the cd/dvd drives are not working since it went out...

Whatever you do, don't do that, they are so damn expensive and like barely know how to exit out multiple windows(exaggeration). But seriously, they are a waste, reinstall windows like everyone says. Buy or borrow an anti-virus detector, or program like Spybot, Webroot SpySweeper, etc. I seriously advise you DO NOT get Norton Anti-Virus, everyone I know hates it and I hate it to, slows down your computer a lot.
