Computer Prolems Yet Again
16 years ago
General
I really am hating the computers in my house. I mean really, unforgivably hating my computers. Some reason every single computer in my house is getting fucked up but my own laptop. I must be doing something right as I haven't had a virus in ages; which I suppose is a good thing but it sort of leaves me without experience in handling them on other computers =\ And irony would have it my other desktop computer (a Gateway) seems to have been infected with a very very similar virus that my Dell had a long while ago. I'm left dumbfounded on as whatever it is kills all programs upon normal boot up. I booted the thing up in safe mode and managed to run the virus scan but it did nothing to remove the infected files. As bad as it seems, I might have to once again revert to reformatting the thing to get rid of the problem. However I've talked with my brother who is far more computer savvy than I am and hopefully he may come up with some possible idea to avoid a complete reformat of the system.

Sadly I actually went ahead and reformatted the thing as much as I didn't want to do so. Luckily I had the extra hardrive space to back up essential files.
I had managed to talk to my brother and he had told me that someone had probably hi-jacked the computer (which was probably the same problem my other computer had). He said that even if I had removed the problem, I'd still have to figure out how to fix Windows itself.
I shall hope I don't have to do that again for a long while.
