I haven't had any viruses in a long time but all of a sudden my computer is crippled with viruses and I can't do shit. I need help getting rid of them because I have to much stuff on my hard drive to just wipe it clean. I'm using Ad-Aware and AVG free (which suck but I've been too lazy to get anything decent) and they never get rid of the viruses. Now my computer cannot even stay on for more than 10 minutes without crashing and restarting. As soon as my wireless adapter connects to my router, pop-ups start spreading like the plague on IE and none of my other programs even detect an internet connection (like AVG and Ad-Aware) so both programs are now unable to update.

I tried HijackThis but don't know what to fix/delete without fucking my computer up. I really need help with determining what this is so I can get rid of it. Pleeeease Help!

Everything that Hijackthis detects delete it. SpyBotSearchAndDestroy is a good free program for cleaning spyware off your comp too.

My advice though is get an external drive, back your shit up and wipe the fuckin thing clean then install linux and never use Windows again cuz its shit.

How can I delete everything that HijackThis detects? Wouldn't that would literally destroy my computer? Also, good advice, I eventually will get Linux and an external hard drive, but is there anything I can do NOW to remove the viruses? By the way, Spybot S&D can't install because the virus has fooled all of my anti-virus programs into detecting no internet connection and Spybot requires an active internet connection.

I dont know exactly what Hijackthis detects but I thought it only detects malicious registry changes and shit. I havent used Windows in ages but I remember theres some good antiviruses that do boot scans which viruses can't circumvent. Can't remember the name of them though.

Go to this forum and ask your question in the applications forum or windows forum they know everything on this forum and usually reply within a day or two.

So I'm posting this from my phone right now because my computer is officially dead. I tried reformatting but with the restore cd in, the reformat process starts but then suddenly crashes mid-way at the same exact point and the computer restarts. I have no clue what to do. Do I have to buy a new harddrive now? When i boot up the computer, it says "NTLDR is missing. Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart". What do you suggest?

You should get on a working PC and go to the site above and download the NTlDRiso fix for CD-R and burn it to a CD and replace the NTLDR. Then try to reinstall windows.

thanks for the advice SWATTFAG, I'll try to do that tonight when I get access to another computer. I read the tutorial and I think I can do that. I'll let you know if everything works out. I have doubts because the computer crashes sporadically and idk if I will be able to reinstall windows because it will just crash again.
