Ongoing virus problems

M

maai

Problem started when I tried to turn on my computer and it stopped on a black
screen with white letters saying "operating system not found"

I went into the diagnostic center and it passed all tests...

I tried re-booting it, and it went a little further in the rebooting process
(to the blue screen that says "please wait while windows starts") but error
messages kept popping up saying that data on c:/ was not able to be
saved...c:/system32 was not able to be saved etc...etc...

when you go to close the error messages it just starts the reboot process
again and goes in a vicious cycle...

everything was FINE the night/week etc. before...

Now I have been able to turn on my computer (not sure why, it just turned on
one day). I have been afraid to turn it off for several days because I know
there's still a problem. When I'm on the internet (with Internet Explorer or
Firefox) it keeps closing down on me. Also, my speakers stopped working for
a while, then for no apparant reason worked again for a few days, then just
stopped working again.also sometimes applications refuse to open and give
error messages.

I've been debating whether or not throwing my laptop against a wall will
solve this problem >:-l

Hi,
Your issue can be either a corrupt applications, bad Hard drive ( I know you
said you run a complete test, not always accurate) or a virus as you said but
what made you assume that?

Try to perform a System Restore to a working day/Restore point or give us
the list of errors in the Event Viewer.

Have a look in the Event Viewer and send us the error messages you will see
there in in the event viewer in your next post:
Open a Notepad, customize or minimize to the taskbar as you will need it
later for this step to copy the error message on it.
Open a run command and type in:
eventvwr.msc click [OK] you will get the Event viewer control Panel.
click on each of these:
Application
System
Security
Look in the right Pane/window for error message with red (X) or Yellow
exclamation mark /!\ , double click each one to get more info about the
causer.
On the Event error properties message you will see:
Up Arrow
Down arrow
Two pages
Click on the two pages to copy the error message then bring up the Notepad
you opened earlier and right click on the first line and select Paste from
the list, this will paste the error message on a Notepad.
Please don't duplicate the error message one of each kind will be sufficient.
HOW TO: View and Manage Event Logs in Event Viewer in Windows XP
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/308427/en-us

Please we need just the error messages with Red (X) and don't repeat the
error, just one of each kind and post them back in your next post.

If you are sure it is an infestation try these steps:
Run a thorough scan by doing the following steps:

Click start >> Control Panel >> Double Click Network and Internet
Connections >> Double click Internet Options, on the IE Properties window
you will see these Options:
General | Security | Privacy | Content | Connections | Programs
| Advanced .

Click on General Tab (1st Tab on the left) and you will see a Button called
[ Clear History ..] click on it to clear your History caches, then click on
[Delete Files..] to delete Internet Files created over the time, click on [
Delete Cookies...] to delete your cookies left by visiting websites.

= Then try to Disable the Add-Ons on your Browser somehow installed on your
browser, On how to disable the Add-ons follow this:
Click on Programs Tab and then click the Manage Add-Ons Button there Disable
the None/Not Verified Plug-ins/Add-ons ( you need to Renable them one-by-one
later and see which is the culprit .

Interesting, reading that defender found four Trojs...

Download the Hijackthis and send the report to one of
many forums for analysis and troubleshooting or you can send it to me on my
email provided at the bottom:
When all else fails, HijackThis v2.0.2
(http://www.trendsecure.com/portal/en-US/threat_analytics/hijackthis.php)

Can you please send me a copy at (e-mail address removed) ,
remove the obvious to email me, note ( _ it is underscore not - ).

I will look into the error logs but try the cleaning steps and send me the
Hijackthis log or as I mentioned to one of many forums on the internet.

Problem started when I tried to turn on my computer and it stopped on a black
screen with white letters saying "operating system not found"

I went into the diagnostic center and it passed all tests...

I tried re-booting it, and it went a little further in the rebooting process
(to the blue screen that says "please wait while windows starts") but error
messages kept popping up saying that data on c:/ was not able to be
saved...c:/system32 was not able to be saved etc...etc...

when you go to close the error messages it just starts the reboot process
again and goes in a vicious cycle...

everything was FINE the night/week etc. before...

Now I have been able to turn on my computer (not sure why, it just turned on
one day). I have been afraid to turn it off for several days because I know
there's still a problem. When I'm on the internet (with Internet Explorer or
Firefox) it keeps closing down on me. Also, my speakers stopped working for
a while, then for no apparant reason worked again for a few days, then just
stopped working again.also sometimes applications refuse to open and give
error messages.

I've been debating whether or not throwing my laptop against a wall will
solve this problem >:-l

Hi,
Your issue can be either a corrupt applications, bad Hard drive ( I know you
said you run a complete test, not always accurate) or a virus as you said but
what made you assume that?

Try to perform a System Restore to a working day/Restore point or give us
the list of errors in the Event Viewer.

Have a look in the Event Viewer and send us the error messages you will see
there in in the event viewer in your next post:
Open a Notepad, customize or minimize to the taskbar as you will need it
later for this step to copy the error message on it.
Open a run command and type in:
eventvwr.msc click [OK] you will get the Event viewer control Panel.
click on each of these:
Application
System
Security
Look in the right Pane/window for error message with red (X) or Yellow
exclamation mark /!\ , double click each one to get more info about the
causer.
On the Event error properties message you will see:
Up Arrow
Down arrow
Two pages
 
M

maai

Okay, right now I'm running through the other steps you listed, but I forgot
to include the red & yellow events on the "System" and "Security" tabs:

Interesting, reading that defender found four Trojs...

Download the Hijackthis and send the report to one of
many forums for analysis and troubleshooting or you can send it to me on my
email provided at the bottom:
When all else fails, HijackThis v2.0.2
(http://www.trendsecure.com/portal/en-US/threat_analytics/hijackthis.php)

Can you please send me a copy at (e-mail address removed) ,
remove the obvious to email me, note ( _ it is underscore not - ).

I will look into the error logs but try the cleaning steps and send me the
Hijackthis log or as I mentioned to one of many forums on the internet.

HTH,

Problem started when I tried to turn on my computer and it stopped on a black
screen with white letters saying "operating system not found"

I went into the diagnostic center and it passed all tests...

I tried re-booting it, and it went a little further in the rebooting process
(to the blue screen that says "please wait while windows starts") but error
messages kept popping up saying that data on c:/ was not able to be
saved...c:/system32 was not able to be saved etc...etc...

when you go to close the error messages it just starts the reboot process
again and goes in a vicious cycle...

everything was FINE the night/week etc. before...

Now I have been able to turn on my computer (not sure why, it just turned on
one day). I have been afraid to turn it off for several days because I know
there's still a problem. When I'm on the internet (with Internet Explorer or
Firefox) it keeps closing down on me. Also, my speakers stopped working for
a while, then for no apparant reason worked again for a few days, then just
stopped working again.also sometimes applications refuse to open and give
error messages.

I've been debating whether or not throwing my laptop against a wall will
solve this problem >:-l

Hi,
Your issue can be either a corrupt applications, bad Hard drive ( I know you
said you run a complete test, not always accurate) or a virus as you said but
what made you assume that?
