yes, my pc’s got a cold. some kind of spyware. cant remowe it. cant use pc. will get it repaired till thursday. using my ps3 to write this. really hard and slow. this is the 3rd time ps3s net browser comes in handy.
sorry for the quality of this message.

Solution: format & reinstall. Far, far, faster.

Agreed, if avast antivir, spybot s&d, and adaware cant fix it, and the internet yields no results then its eaisier to format and then reinstall windows, if you cant fix it with the programs chances are thats all the pc people will do anyways...

The irony that the evil spy gets infected with spyware.

Got to agree that reformat is the way to go, much quicker, and cheaper if you're got to pay for repair.

I agree you so had it coming Spy........

If you can reformat cool mate will speed it all up to

Here are the links to the programs you should try using to fix it (if its only spyware and not a virus it shouldnt block their use), especially in safe mode. All of which are free, and as good as or in some cases better than the pay for ones.

Avast antivirus Updates and program are free so long as you register, a 2 minute process that basically involves you just sending them an email address, which they dont spam or send anything else other than a registration code to run the thing. A registration lasts 1 year after which you re-register, again for free, you will never have to pay for avast, and this is authorised and encoraged by the company due to all the "in the wild" info about viruses people email them as a result.

This antivirus is far better than norton/mcaffee/any shop shelf one, it hogs less memory, is updated more frequently and boasts better features, such as level scanning and 7 resident scanners

Spybot Search and Destroy Anti Spyware, freeware program, updated regularly, will always be free, can immunise your computer vs future attacks and has a database of 100000+ forms of spyware.

Adaware A more sensitive adware and spyware remover, will detect most things, even though a fair amount will be false positives, its always good to air on the side of caution, just a scanner, no resident protection like spybot, but a good backup scanner if your still worries.

Run these programs and it should recover your pc, if these fail you can always reformat and start over, i have been running these programs for 4 years, thus far they have picked up every little piece of spyware, malware and pseudo virus that has attempted to pass into my system, and promptly destroyed it.

Cool thanks Extra. Writing this on my old laptop.
I think its something worse than a spyware. It took my administrator access away and took away my access to my hard drives.
I fear that if I link the pc back online it will download all kinds of shit programs and make things worse.
But like you said I can always try and reformat if it doesnt work.

Hi Agent,

If it's that bad I think you're definitely best off formatting and reinstalling. Even if you get back to a working state, your PC won't be the same.

Nuke it from orbit, its the only way to be sure.

If its altered admin privilages, you're not getting the PC back from it.

Format from a live disk, reinstall, get antivirus/antispyware on then use as normal.

Im reformatting right now. Ugh I always hate to reinstall everything. I hope Ill get it done by tomorrow.
