Silver Member Username: LomnaSac, Calif U.S.A Post Number: 833 Registered: Dec-07 | I know it is wrong section to get help. Help doesn't come quickly enough there. My laptop infacted with bad virus. Don't let me restore it in the back date. Does any one knows if reboot whole thing with recovery cd. I know that will remove my stuff, but I don't care. Can this process remove the virus for good from my compu. |

Platinum Member Username: PlymouthCanada Post Number: 11640 Registered: Jan-08 | devin You can repair it with your XP CD. I suggest you to save your files if you are able, you can install free version Avast antvirus at www.avast.com and scan it but I don't thing that your problem will be repair without formatting your Laptop. Usualy this kind of virus destroy your register and block a restoring. If you are not sure on what doing post your questions live and I will try to help you.  |

Platinum Member Username: PlymouthCanada Post Number: 11646 Registered: Jan-08 | Ok you can save your file on a USB key! |
|
Bronze Member Username: Junkyfunky1234Post Number: 31 Registered: Oct-09 | Just a word of caution... any files that you save off of your computer may contain virus.. which will be transferred abck when you transfer those files back to a newly installed computer.. so I suggest try microsoft security essentials before doing something else.. it will not hurt your computer |

Silver Member Username: LomnaSac, Calif U.S.A Post Number: 840 Registered: Dec-07 | Alright. But wondering can avast will help get me rid of the virus. I'm downloading their software right now as you explained me earlier. |

Platinum Member Username: PlymouthCanada Post Number: 11647 Registered: Jan-08 | devin try Avast before all, then you can try the junky funky solution after, you have nothing to lose. |

Silver Member Username: LomnaSac, Calif U.S.A Post Number: 842 Registered: Dec-07 | Avsat work in progress. Is it normal taking this long |
|
Platinum Member Username: PlymouthCanada Post Number: 11651 Registered: Jan-08 | devin It can take 2 hours! The good news is that Avast is able to scan!  |

Silver Member Username: LomnaSac, Calif U.S.A Post Number: 843 Registered: Dec-07 | plymouth, So far so good. BUT The thing is one of the profile still has viruses. Other two profile working normally. The profile still giving me the problem has some valuable documents. Do you think if I can be able transfer to other working profile or creat a new profile and transfer those documents to new profile. Junckey funkey ....you are telling me earlier that document may contain virus. But do you think a pre downloaded or a document can be contaminated with the current virus ?? |

Platinum Member Username: PlymouthCanada Post Number: 11660 Registered: Jan-08 | devin If you open your system like a Administrator you will be able to take your files and copied it in a other profile. You can also copied your files in safe mode. Is it the administrator profil which is the problem? I don't think that you have a virus in your documents, click on file with right button and scan it before you copy and past. With Vista disk you have the option "repair" if my memory is good. |

Silver Member Username: LomnaSac, Calif U.S.A Post Number: 844 Registered: Dec-07 | plymouth and others thanks. plymouth, what you suggested was very good option. Problem is fully solved and comp working great virus free. I decided to reboot it, soon as I inserted cd # 1 it gave me an option to restore it on a back dates. Which I wanted from begining but virus never let me. Now I know this option wasn't avilable without the recry cd. Anyway, Now I have restore it as of 10/31/2009. This way I have saved every document. Anyway great help. Thanks |

Gold Member Username: DoreenakadjOntario Canada Post Number: 3232 Registered: Dec-06 | in the future turn off the systems restore option. Viruses love to hide in there. and I would suggest using DR WEB CURIT its free http://www.freedrweb.com/cureit/?lng=en |
