HELP ME! PLEASE! PLEASE HELP ME! Crash after reboot after fixing computer.

After scanni my computer with aswMBR and fixing it with aswMBR my computer crashed! And i don’t know why! Please help me!

I have an idea why, mess with your MBR and you can brick your system if it has a custom MBR and you revert to a default one it could fail to boot.

Specialist tools like this should only be used under guidance of a malware removal specialist. I’m not even sure if a malware removal specialist might be able to resolve this if it was a custom MBR.

Why did you use aswMBR.exe ?

Are you able to boot at all now, either normal windows mode or safe mode ?

I know a tool that can do this 8)

I don’t know how you could possibly know what the custom MBR might be for a tool to replicate it unless you are talking about restoring it. Even then I wouldn’t advise doing anything that might further complicate the issue with the guidance of a qualified malware removal specialist.

Not to mention we know nothing about the circumstances surrounding this or the possible damage, which is why I asked the questions.

It would probably have been best to keep it in that topic.

But it seems he also had a crash with the OTL fix, so I’m not entirely sure what is going on (but it is combofix that is meant to replace the infected services.exe). As essexboy will get notified about new posts in it. Unfortunately now after Midnight and essexboy will be in bed.

Everyone, thanks for your posts. But after allowing windows startup recovery to run, my computer has returned to normal and my viruses are gone (to my belief). And I used the program i did because on a different thread i started the person who responded said I should use it because it would help. So thanks! :smiley:

You’re welcome.

Essexboy will be back on-line later today late morning or afternoon (now almost 1:25am in the UK), so he will respond in your other topic.
