Hopefully someone can help me!
I had (or still have!) what i think was a rogue anti-spyware program virus. I tryed to DL avast! and Malwarebytes but the problem was that my computer cant access the internet because of the virus! So i DL it on another conputer and transfered it to mine. Problem is that Malwarebytes cant update because it cant access the internet, as well avast! was having a problem running properly, for reasons i have no idea. But it did ask if I wanted to run a Boot time scan when I restarted computer, and I did. . But instead of “move to chest” i clicked delete on the 2 files, and one of them wouldnt let me do anything to it. Problem is now when computer starts, there is nothing, no start button, task bar, no desktop icons, cant even go to my task manager. Can someone help please with both getting my windows back to normal and being able to get rid of the virus/updating malwarebytes and getting avast! to work??? I use Windows XP
welcome to the forum.
it was to bad you hit the remove button there but lets see what we can do.
i seems from your post your still having problem so i suggest a rescue disk might be good try here.
like dr web cure it is a good program to use.
http://www.freedrweb.com/livecd/ download and burn to a empty cd must do from an clean computer. then you boot with this cd in the infected pc.
hoppfully it would be able to restore your computer to working order agian so you will be able to repiar avast. if not i think you have to do a clean installation of the computer.
but hoppfully dr web will solve your problem.
good luck and let us know on the progress or if you need more help.
