MadManMike Posted September 28, 2006 Report Share Posted September 28, 2006 I would say boot up in safe mode... which is usually hitting F2 a few times as you first turn the Pc on if I remember correctly...Use an anti-virus in safe mode Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krisboats Posted September 28, 2006 Report Share Posted September 28, 2006 (edited) I clicked the link but nothing happened, how do i tell if i have it? Does it flood your screen with msn windows that it automatically opens and chats the link at people?My norton definaitions are out of date too because i'm too stingy to pay for it EDIT: Just found out you can update your norton virus definitions using the "intelligent installer" from their site... 12mb download and it installs the new definitions for me, not really that intelligent if it cant realise my subscriptions expired Edited September 28, 2006 by Krisboats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onza Kieron Posted September 28, 2006 Report Share Posted September 28, 2006 Ok I tried that F2 thingy and it opened a special thingy but I was then lost, could someone write me a guide or link me to one please?

Krisboats Posted September 28, 2006 Report Share Posted September 28, 2006 Press F8 before the windows XP loading screen (the black screen with the laoding bar and XP logo), this'll bring up a black screen with white writing and 4 different options, choose start in SAFE MODE and it'll boot up with only bare minimum settings and some giant ass screen resolution. No programs or files will be run when windows starts so you can effectively use your antivirus software like you normally would and the virus won't have a chance to change itself or hide somewhere the antivirus wont find it.Reboot when your done, the pc will boot up normally like it always does and the nasty should be gone.
