Had a serious prob with my laptop, it had the gomyhit virus, I downloaded the
spyware program, spyware doctor6...which seemed to work, but then it
appearantly removed the log in/off command point, because the virus had
infected it... so it was deleted....now I can't log on. When I do log on, it
just logs straight out!!What do I install to make this work , and how do I
install it if I can't log on?? The gomyhit virus infected a lot of programs
and now I have to try and reinstall them. Please can someone help...
