# TJ: Help!
Right, something bad has happened to my pc. p

My anti virusfirewall software was not working or about an hour, and now I get a bluescreen every time I reboot my computer(as soon as I log on). Currently running in safe mode.

I tried doing a system restore, but apparently I don't have that kind of authority anymore ever since this virus or whatever it is has infected my system. How do I re-enable system restore? Any other suggestions? Thanks muchly for any help!

# ad-aware its free
avg antivirus - also free (if you click the right thing)
oh and don't look at porn to get the viruses in the first place!

# ah it was the porn was it :)


I've done a full system scan with adaware, but to no avail.
I'll try avg antivirus now,
Cheers

# may also we worthwhile running this as a system optimisation tool
it's FREE, works a treat once installed and updated through 'options' - update.
probably one of the best little programs I've found

www.iobit.com/advancedwindowscareper.html

after you've updated it for the first time, the first sacn will takes AGES, but don't worry,
every scan after that, even with regular updating, goes by relatively quickly

# Spybot SD is also a good 'un
I use spybot and adaware in case it slips through one.

But otherwise, I gots no idea what to do..

It might not be a virus though, could be a hardware issue if it runs in safe mode, I've had that before with a graphics card melting (literally)

# i think my total is about 8 so far
not including the 3 at college.... ahem...

# Haha!
You should keep record of them!
That's an impressive number!

I think I've done 3 in the last year, but before then it was a hell of a while..

I think I've murdered upwards of 5, but I've definitely got some catching up to do =P

# Phone your antivirus peoples
That's what they're there for.

Can you do a full system scan?

# alright, it just crashed again but now I'm back.
I've only been able to do a full system scan with adaware so far, since Mcafee isn't workiing.

Thanks for all your replies!

# I thought McAfee might have phone support or summat
In my experience, it's quicker phoning tech support than anything else, but I'm sure other folk here will have different opinions.

# Shut down your PC
Unplug the phone.
Cancel your ISP contract.
Sell your house.
Renounce your citizenship.
Move to the middle of the desert.

Then try again.
