[Zerock]

I have several problems with this computer, the CD-ROM drives aren't accessible, my Norton Internet tells me when the computer is starting up certain files are missing. I cannot access certain websites using any web browsers, and also I can't use MSN Messenger.

I'm at the point where I'm about to wipe this whole 20 gig hard drive and start again.

Please HELP Me!~

Make sure you can see hidden files http://www.xtra.co.n...16458,00.html#2 You can set this up now so it's ready when you need it.

Make sure you can boot into Safe Mode http://www.bleepingc...tutorial61.html

Note: Close Internet Explorer and Netscape and keep them closed while these programs are being uninstalled.

Open Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs. Remove the following programs if they are listed. They may not all be listed.

Virus warnings while performing a scan with Ad-Aware
While performing a scan with Ad-Aware, a background antivirus monitor may issue an alert, stating that a virus has been found in the temporary directory (%temp%) for the current user. This does not necessarily mean your computer has been infected with an active virus. Most antivirus resident scanners will not scan compressed files and only monitor your memory for the sign of an active viral process.

During a scan, Ad-Aware will temporarily decompress files to scan their contents without activating the content, but in doing so, the file is noticed by the antivirus' resident scanner.

Also, some antivirus applications include an option to quarantine infected files, and when Ad-Aware decompresses these quarantined files, the antivirus background scanner detects the virus moving outside the quarantine area. To avoid this you can either remove the quarantined files via your antivirus application, or have Ad-Aware ignore the antivirus program's quarantine folders/files during a scan.

Reboot after completion of the Adaware scan and do an on-line virus scan here http://www.pandasoft...com/activescan/ Make sure that Repair/fix and heuristics are checked. Let it fix everything it can. Save the report at the end of the scan. Reboot when the scan is complete. Do a fresh HijackThis log and paste it into this thread.

Virus warnings while performing a scan with Ad-Aware
While performing a scan with Ad-Aware, a background antivirus monitor may issue an alert, stating that a virus has been found in the temporary directory (%temp%) for the current user. This does not necessarily mean your computer has been infected with an active virus. Most antivirus resident scanners will not scan compressed files and only monitor your memory for the sign of an active viral process.

During a scan, Ad-Aware will temporarily decompress files to scan their contents without activating the content, but in doing so, the file is noticed by the antivirus' resident scanner.

Also, some antivirus applications include an option to quarantine infected files, and when Ad-Aware decompresses these quarantined files, the antivirus background scanner detects the virus moving outside the quarantine area. To avoid this you can either remove the quarantined files via your antivirus application, or have Ad-Aware ignore the antivirus program's quarantine folders/files during a scan.

Reboot after completion of the Adaware scan and do an on-line virus scan here http://www.pandasoft...com/activescan/ Make sure that Repair/fix and heuristics are checked. Let it fix everything it can. Save the report at the end of the scan. Reboot when the scan is complete. Do a fresh HijackThis log and paste it into this thread.
