Help !

I know this has nothing to do with the game, but i have no where else to go. I have adware on my computer its running my computer, it won't let me open any adware ckeckin programs or web sites. So i tried to restore it and that didn't work. So what can i do. I restarted my comp hit f8 and this is what it says....


Windows Advanced Options Menu

Safe Mode
Safe Mode with networking
Safe Mode with Command Prompt


Enable boot logging
Enable VGA Mode
Last Known Good Configuration
Directory Services Restore Mode-- This is what i did and its still happens
Debugging Mode
Disabled Automatic restart on system failure

Start Window Normally
Reboot
Return to OS choices Menu

I have no clue what to do someone said something about recovering with the program cd and i don't know how to do that. Can anyone help ?

well i can guarantee you that by completely formatting and reinstalling everything it would fix the problem

I recommend contacting a tech support service and not relying on this forum for that kind of assistance.

If it's not your computer (like if it's your parents' or whatever) I recommend letting them know so they can get it sorted out.

Lol its my comp im 21 bro its not my mommy's, and right now money is short so im trying to do it myself. So Doc how would i reformat everythin ?.

sent in the OS disc and then just delete everything and reinstall i can guarantee it works but the method sucks if you have data on your comp you dont want too loose

What operational system are u using?
How do you know its adware?
Which program did you use to check for malware?
How long has this been going on?
Also:
what do you mean when you say it dont leat you open websites? Do you get an error message? If so what does it say?
You can try chosing Safe Mode, and when Windows loads fully you go:
-Start menu
-All programs
-Acessories
-System Tools
-Restore system

Of course, this is for WIN XP, and I dont know which one is yours.

Im using Windows XP and i don't know its adware jeff said it probably was because it won't let me open and Adware scan programs or sites, its been going on for about a 2 weeks. And as for programs i don't have anything im really worried about, i have all of my pictures saved to a site i can pull them back from. I have just got to figure out how to re-do everything.

It won't let me open the sites it will start to load and when it does it automatically closes and thats it, i try to start the spyware program ive got and when it loads it closes and won't run.

well i still say you best bet is reinstalling windows xp again well basically its just to follow the instructions that come up when you boot from the winxp cd

Thats what im going to do, i just gotta find my XP cd, if i can't my mom has the same software ill just borrow hers. But thanks for the help Doc much appreciated.

try this:
- Start Windows in safe mode
-Start menu
-All programs
-Acessories
-System Tools
-Restore system
-choose a restore date 1 month ago or more

Already did that bro, it dosen't change anything. Im just gonna have to re-install the program and lose all of my ****. Tiz what i get for downloadin the Spankter Vision, Lol.

If doesnt help, chose a date even more remote from today-2-3 months ago
Does the system restore proces finish or is it interupted?
If system restore cant help you, then I really doubt its an adware program what you have got.

Thats why im going to just delet everything and start over, because i have restored back to the start of April and it still does it. So i have no clue.

System restore simply changes a couple of the system startup files, and will not effect anything that is tagged into another file like as a .dll that is loaded when another program starts, such as Windows Explorer.

After you find your windows XP installation disc, just reboot with it, and you can reformat the partition from the setup screen there.

Thanks to all for your help. I re-installed my Xp and repaired everything and it allowed me to run my spyware program and i have removed it all. So thank you so much to everyone who helped. It is very much appreciated

well its good that it works for you again though try doing weekly or monthly scans that should greatly reduce the chances of it happening again

I don't do any scans on my one computer...but then I don't really download much on it, and don't load a bunch of pron on it either...lol

[doctor-warlord]

well if you download a lot or visit a lot of strange sites you definetly need to scan regularly eventhough i know i should do it often as i download and visit all sorts of sites anyway its just some advise

True, but if you have a healthy firewall, you should not have a problem with most of these things.
