| 233161 | 2004-04-30 12:12:00 | Hi I've been overclocking my rusty ol' gf2mx, and it seems that I've pushed it too far as my pro winxp crashed and after restarting, a popup msg says "Windows have recovered from a critical error" or something simliar... But anywayz, after that, I've been experiencing many wierd problems, and these include: - Being prompt to connnect to the internet because some program wants to get information for a website (there are ~3 different website it wants to go) - 54 random *.exe files showed up in my C: (i.e zoxrqpgt.exe, kwuekskl.exe) - My Norton anti-virus 2001 won't live-update saying it cannot connect to the net. (I've scanned all drives with 4/7/04 definitions and found nothing) - My norton anti-virus 2001 won't enable auto-protect at start-up, I have to enable it manually. - I can't reach anti-virus websites such as www.symantec.com or www.mcafee.com or www.avg.com etc (website now found) - At one stage, a msg said something like "restart denied", and I had to disconnect from net in order to restart. - I've ran adaware and also spybot, and removed everything, but no improvements. I think I've tried everything to fix it....but no success, would any of you folkes have any ideas? Thanks. |

| 233162 | 2004-04-30 12:28:00 | sounds like a virus. i would use a friends computer to get a copy of spybot, and a copy of AVG free anti-virus. |
