C.E. Posted April 10, 2005 Report Share Posted April 10, 2005 Please help me. I think I may have a virus on my computer. The system is running Windows ME. To start with my computer was slow when it booted up. Then it 'got stuck' during boot up on the screen that checks all the drivers. I had to power it down and then when I restarted it it started in safe mode. I have tried resoring it to an earlier time and when I did this it worked ok then the next time I booted up the problem was back. Now it when I try to boot it goes straight into safe mode. While it is in safe mode I have no CD rom or internet drivers working. I looked dxdiag and it all stated that it was running fine. What can i do now. Please help I need this machine for work.

djohn Posted April 10, 2005 Report Share Posted April 10, 2005 Hello C.E., welcome to the forum. :)Have you got any anti-virus checkers on your PC - are they up to date and have you run them to check for a virus? If you can post back please, tell us what you've tried so far then one of our spyware experts will get you to post a Hijackthis log to check over.

C.E. Posted April 11, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2005 This is C.E. Thanks for trying to help,I have an Norton 2002 on the machine, but Norton have stopped supporting the updates on this version. Have virus scanned it anyway, it came back clean. Not sure if all the files were scanned as it was in safe mode at the time and not all the drivers were running. Have got a new version of Norton but am unable to install it as my CD Rom does not work in safe mode. Also tried a scan disc while in safe mode, this also came back clear. Have followed the help that came up with safe mode of resarting the machine with lots of things closed down that windows suggested. Cannot get you access to spy on my machine as it is a dial up and the modem is disabled in safe mode, having to borrow a friends computer. Sorry this does not seem any more helpful.

nellie2 Posted April 11, 2005 Report Share Posted April 11, 2005 If Norton is no longer being updated then please uninstall it and download AVG free available here An up to date anti virus is essential. Once installed and updated please run a full system scan. Let us know if it finds anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
