HEL!
have a virus on my pc. i didnt know this until i started
suspecting when my pc crashed whenevr i played games or
watched windows media movie player. So i did a virus scan
and it said i have pate.b.worm or me.parite or something
(samething). It infects .exe and .scr files(explains why
my screen saver doesnt work). I had no problems till i
used the virus scanner(housecall) to clean and all it did
was corrupt .exe files on my pc. but it made backups so i
renamed the .rb0 backups as .exe and it worked. But my pc
was still crashing. i suspected overheating, this was in
the fall of 2003. Then i tried cooling it. No help. So I
removed a ram stick in the first slot. It stopped freezing
when i played games. Now its been freezing a lot lately,
and not just when i play games. also, i get some error
about 5 minutes after xp starts up saying something about
wmiadap.exe and says do not send or something, and i look
at error report and it reports the virus. should i delete
wmiadap.exe? so i bought a new ram stick and tried it(512
mb ram) and it crashes a lot more now, even sometimes on
turn ons. when it crashes, it looks like power went
out..monitor goes black but then turns back on revealing
the last image i saw, but this time with the new stick of
ram, colors are everywhere but on the last image i saw
before it froze. its annoying. PLEASE HELP! i turned off
system restore. The hp company(i have xp) didnt give me a
restore disk..only thing i can use is windows restore. but
if i turn it on, it would get infected. also, when i go to
play games, i cant without reinstalling or copying the
game exe from cd rom each time i go to play(before it gets
infected...it used to get infected a lot but still work
before i used the virus scanner). any reasons for the
crash and how to remove this worm? these tutorials on the
net suck.
