Oh Crap

[Phoenix]

Damnit, I was downloaded a program frrom kazaa, and I alsmost always chesk my downloads from kazaa with norton asap, but I was in a hurry to use the program so I didnt and I just went ahead and opened it. Anyways, nothing happened, so I was like WTF? Then, a second later Norton pops up screaming "Viruse Detected". Holy **** I thought to myself...****. So anyways, I ended having to manually shut down the computer. When I started it up, everything seemed normal. I used a special deleting program to delete the file that had the virus in it and secisfully did it. I then went to norton and looked at the logs, and learned that virus was some weird one that was rare or something....I cant remember. So I was pretty worried, but nothing had happened to my comp so I felt pretty safe.

Ok, flash forward to today and I wake up and go to turn on my computer. I have XP so it brings me to the user selection screen, I click on my user and put in the password. It says loading pressonal settings.so I wait, then a cesond later, my computer just restarts. I think to myself "ok, that was weird", so I do everthing over again and it restarts at the same place. Its obcious know that the virus is doing this. SO.my question to you people is: WHAT IN GODS NAME DO I DO!!!!............please help me...Im completely lost. :bawling:

Then scan with nortom.

How do I log on as an admin?

[OUTLAWS WHOCARES]

When you start up it should give you the option.
Or try logging on as soneone else

[SALvation]

Try booting up in safe mode and scanning. Or try reverting to the last good configuration.

I had something like that but when I had it my computer woulden't fully start it would just restart after the bios started. Basicially after that I lost my whole computer. I had to start from scrath all over agian. I had to reload Windows and all my drivers and games. Then once thats done it was fine.

i downaloded some **** at kazaa b4 and it said it was deleting my harddrive but i shut in down manually and it went back to normal.

You could also go to the log again, find the name of the virus, and go the Symantec site and search for it...they often have virus-specific tools to rid yourself of a virus already on your box. If you get that done, update the Norton - which you should always do anyway, and will stop most of the incoming crap, and run a complete system scan again. Update your virus every week or two; it costs nothing, and can save so much.

Try to download (from other computer) the newwest updates for your antivirus programm. Or try other antivirus prog. :thumbs: If it doesn&#39;t works:

1. Format your Hard drive
2. Reinstall OS
3. Reinstall drivers games, etc.
4. Then download newest updates every month :thumbs:

Good luck
