Well if you are sure it is a virus, I suggest you get norton systemworks 2006. It should clean that sucker up. However if the virus been in your pc for a while, it has probably already done the damage it was intended to do. In that case i would suggest you format the pc. All you need is a WinXp cd, Need anymore help, Hola back |

I think you should download nod32 (http://www.sofotex.com/NOD32-download_L13835.html) and it is the best antivirus ever and if you need serial to unlock it, go to www.serials.ws. dont open this site with windows explorer because you might get other virus but use mozilla. you better be carefull when using antivirus because they might end up knock your pc totally. |

[s]It might not be a virus. For precaution sake lock the diskette by sliding the read/write lock at the bottom right corner of the diskette. Slid it down so you are able to see a hole through the slider, this will make it read only. Even if it was a virus, the virus cannot transfer itself to your PC or notebook[/s]. moderator says: this is wrong And the author says, what was your reasons? You may have try to open a file in your diskette by answering Always use the selected program to open this kind of file. It is a window pop-up message when you tried to open a file that window do not understand its extension. If you choose yes, window will convert the default opening program to that application you clicked yes to. Put the disk into a computer, make sure the diskette is read only and try to right click a file and choose open with and select a proper program that opens that particular file and choose yes open all apps with it. If this is not the case, search the net with phrase like exe virus etc to see if someone has reported this sort problem before. |

adewaleaf u most definately got yourself a SPYWARE! firstly the free version of spybot is useless, it allow more viruses in than it stop. get a antispyware software. try Ashampoo or Ad-ware free version available at download.com. secondly that executeable file that is on your system might need something like Norton anti-virus. try getting those and run them. thirdly you could try using Limewire to get good copies of the commercial versions. jus "search" for programs. |
