dunno bout the rest of the stuff but the email thing tends to be a server based problem

Well obviously you have had windows installed for a while. I would advise getting yourself a copy of windowsXp Pro, and reformating your hard drive, and installing that.

Otherwise sounds like you need a reformat and instal your current operating system. There are too many errors to fix. Unless you uninstal all the programs you are having probs with and reinstall them

Are you sure it's a virus ?

dunno...but if that was my pc

...would be time to backup data & format the drive(s)

clean reinstall of o/s & looking forward to lots of fun hours (about 6-8 on average) reinstalling apps & utils then adjusting preferences & settings to suit

hehehe...done this too many times...and everyone you just pray it's gonna be as long as possible before you need to do another

yeah...& if u're worried about virii...get a scanner ffs! and update it regularly

Find a friend to make you up a bootable anti-virus floppy.
Boot from that floppy and do a scan from A: drive...doesn't sound very good though...

If you are going to reinstall your OS, which i highly recommend for 9.x windows kernels... use a startup disk and fdisk your hd into several partitions

1.OS partition - about 3-5 gigs
2. Apps partition - 5 gigs, so when you reinstall, all your settings are still there
3. everything else partition - rest of your hd. for goodies like your music

Pork!

i would say that windows is screwed and needs a re install, back up all ya data (mp3's and uni/college/school work etc) and re formant and re install windows.

but would do the virus scan from the boot disk just in case, as i cant see why so many things could go wrong at once. you tried downloading any other anti virus software? wot os u using?

heheheh...well that depends on how much hd space u have eh!

but yeah...good to have separate drives for some stuff...i don't bother with apps...seeing most of their settings are stored in registry anyway & will get lost with an erase/reformat

have a separate drive for games, seeing most of their settings are stored in the local folders...also a separate drive for mp3s & mpegs - hehe essential for me ...and another drive for swap file to stop windows stuffing up the windows drive with fragments everywhere...and recently i made a cache drive for internet temp files and other temp files like winzip, acdsee thumbnails, outlook database and other crap like that

so currently...it's something like o/s: 10G, games: 15G, mp3s/mpegs: 74G, personal shit: 33G, swap drive: 1G, temp drive: 4G

Well i have a 4gig just for 0S, then a crive folder on my 60 gig D drive. So when i reformat my small 4 gig i just delete the stuff in c drive coz it will need to be reinstalled. Everything else goes into my mp3 folder, etc

Also a small hd just for OS means it is really quick to format and reinstal. I managed to reformat and reinstal xp pro and have it setup in just under 2 hours on my shitty comp at my dads. So it wont take long

hehe ive learg to live with my virus (w95.kuang2.dr) for about 6 months now, as long as i keep the little pup on its lead (V-shield) he doesnt shit all over my computer...









still id rather kill the little bastard!!!

Thanks for all your replies...
I will definately format my c:/ and maybe I'll install XP, else 98 again. I'll do it as soon as I finish my exams...
Cheers

nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!

don't reinstall 98!!!

...unless you want to do this shit again in 6 months or less

it's the most f'd-up-pos-o/s ever...maybe apart from os/2 or 95



highly recommend getting 2k or xp...life will be soooooooooooo much easier then!

look for klez... damn gay email worm... a server you send email through might have it. i got a billion calls two weeks ago about shite like this at work.

and as for most fucked os ever... dont forger winME...god i fucking hate that piece of crap.

So according to the Bible the world is in the hands of the wicked one, the one known as Satan the Devil. So who is this masterful personification of all that is contrary to godliness? What is his end game and how exactly does he go about achieving it both in the spirit realm and on Earth? What is his personality like? What are his material likes? his material dislikes? What are his weaknesses? What if he were to somehow change his ways and transform himself permanently into an angel of light? Is it possible for him to change, if there be any vestige of godliness left in his spirit? Would God forgive him? Could God forgive him? Has he ever cried out of sorrow or despair?

We humans may never know the definitive truthful answers to these questions. Perhaps it is best that we never know them, that way we do not end up seeing more clearly from his point of view and end up perhaps opening our eyes even more than they should be. For it is the opening of our eyes that has made us who we are today.

go to google and search for "free online virus scan" do PC-cillins web based scan, it works great.


I agree with Palivar!!!!!! But I think exorcism shouldnt be completely thrown out either. Maybe a little doll of your computer and you could stick pins and needles into the "infected" areas
