yeah he is usually pretty cool...........

ok just deauthorized all the computers on my account, so im actually not concerned about loosing anything during a reformat, so thats what ill do, i may even make my second partition a little bigger so i can dual boot vista and xp hmmm anyone have vista laying around?

 

ok im an idiot i can get on aim, ill be on all night, i might go out a little later but itll be on

 

Last Thurs I was it by the 2008 Antivirus - virus. Man was I p-----. So I purchchased the antivrus. Got my puter back up. I had no idea what had happened. Once the puter was back up I did some investigation and found that the 2008 antivirus was the one that hijacked my computer. You want to talk about upset. I called the toll free number for the place where i got the antivirus told them about the co. they were doing business with and that i wanted my debit trans. cancelled now and not tommorow. they said from a week to 10 days. I said no-way you took it fast enough I want it cancelled that fast and to make sure I would contact my bank in the AM and stop the trans. Needles to say it was cancelled that morning. Once I cleaned all of their crap I could off of my puter I did a system restore for 2 days earlier and got rid of the rest of the crap. Good luck cleaning your system up.

 

ok wish me luck im reformatting

 

good luck

sorry you have to waste the next 3.5 hours of your life

 

LOL yeah it sucks but I kinda wanted to do it again anyways, its almost done copying the setup files, wait it just finished

 

hmm thais wierd its done, and says windows will be completely installed in about 37 min

 

it lies its kinda like a football game where there is 3 min on the clock and 4.5 hours later its still going

 

yeah but the formatting is done that only took about20 min I'm more then half way done with installing windows now

 

well thats goo it took about a hour the last time I did my laptop it only has a 100gb hard drive the last time I did my desktop it took 3.5 hrs 500 gb

 

Its done.....in exactly half an hour I partitioned 43000 and 13000

 

not bad

 

Not to take away from your current problem AZ, but my Norton picked up W32.Spybot.Worm. It couldn't repair or quarantine it. It said it deleted the files but the infection remains. My computer doesn't seem to be running any differently. Is this a virus I need to worry about or just leave it alone?

 

I'd download the spyware doctor talked about in this thread, I know I will once I get my drivers

Speaking of ...... I need drivers

 

now re-read his post. sounds like he was using spybot as an antivirus leaving him unprotected. instead of avg or kaspersky. I'm right your wrong. grovel!!!!
