1191458 2011-04-02 09:52:00 it's a laptop lankenjl (16306)
1191459 2011-04-02 10:00:00 Dont think its beta or RC then, because theyre probably dead by now lol. Have you got a desktop? Speedy Gonzales (78)
1191460 2011-04-02 10:07:00 personally i do not have a desktop computer. i only have a laptop. my roomate has a desktop which i believe you are the one that fixed a few months back. i dont know if you remember fixing hers but i would considering how many viruses were on it and how many programs it took to get it functioning again lankenjl (16306)
1191461 2011-04-02 10:12:00 Oh did I lol..I would if this laptop uses a hard drive remove it then. Then connect / install it in this desktop. Then hopefully if its got a virus scanner on it, scan the whole hard drive. That maybe the easy way to remove the malware on it. Then we'll have to figure out how to get rid of that sens error thing. Hopefully the desktop has sata ports if its sata Speedy Gonzales (78)
1191462 2011-04-02 10:18:00 yes lol. her screen name was eberry09. you had to use teamviewer with hers to fix it. she was using some movie website to watch a movie and it basically crashed her computer. so tip: never use videobb if you ever see it lol. and i have no clue how to remove the hard drive. im kinda computer illiterate just not as bad as my roomate. but my comp does have a virus scanner. i use avg 2011 lankenjl (16306)
1191463 2011-04-02 10:23:00 lol thanks for reminding me. Good thing, I've never heard of it. Umm but yours isnt a desktop. Unless you can somehow remove the hdd, then put it in an enclosure or something. Thats why its better if it was installed in a desktop Speedy Gonzales (78)
1191464 2011-04-02 10:38:00 im not sure if i would know how to take it out if it was installed on a desktop lol. i've taken a few desktops apart before but only to hook up a cd rom drive and clean the inside of all the dust that builds up. i won't even mess with taking apart a laptop. and i just ran an anti rootkit scan and it didn't find anything and im also running a whole computer scan and so far it has only found two things and all it was was something from a website and it was just a corrupted file. nothing about a virus.

this window repair thing that pops up on startup is saying all sorts of things are wrong though. its confusing. not sure if avg is doin it's job or if this window repair thing is a fake virus

1191465 2011-04-02 10:40:00 It'll be underneath. Just take a few screws out and remove it. You dont have to pull it bits to remove it. Or if this has a usb port / and you have a flash drive try this (www.avg.com). Get the USB download. If you've got a bootable usb flash drive get this as well (support.kaspersky.com)

Unzip it copy it, boot from the flash disk then run this file. It'll have to have DOS. If the AVG USB thing doesnt have it

1191466 2011-04-02 10:47:00 i have a usb port but don't think i have a flashdrive. and i know my roomate won't let her computer be touched after what happened to it that last time. and i take back my comment about avg not finding anything lol. it sent some things to the virus vault. there were about 7 trojan horse infections and 12 malware. lankenjl (16306)
1191467 2011-04-02 10:54:00 lol. Well its either buy a usb flash drive. Or remove the hdd then put in in her case. Since you cant use a cd. If you want to live till tomorrow, I would buy the flash drive Speedy Gonzales (78)
