Well my IE is playing up.... It freezes with the hang icon when i click on a link

 

[chelseafc2005]

you were asking if a reformat would work but if you do have some bad spyware when u back up your files it might back up the spyware making your newly formatted hd the same as last time. It was morpheus that ****ed your computer, thats what p2p programs do

 

[Zap]

Cant be morpeus cause iv ran registy scans... i killed some registrys made sure noting remains from it and ran now about 30 full spyware scans from S&D, Spysweeper, ad-aware, and those browser scans (not all at once)

Iv got no spyware no virus's (according to BitDefender8)
And morpheus was put on my comp mabey a month ago and i melted that sucker withen 2 days of it being on my computer ran over 70 scans since then but havnt found a thing.

Its gota be some internal error or something... sending my reqrests around the whole system befor finding what im looking for...

And iv done a Defrag im gona do another 1 later today iv used Hijackthis and nothing is irregular and i can go on and on....

So unless NASA or something has released a free virus program that melts every nastie in the world i dunno what i can do... Besides buy a better computer.... Im thinking alienware cause im mainly a gamer but then that costs.... what couple thousand and a 12 year old cant find jobs with a weekly salary of 500 :| so im pretty screwed.........


PS... This sux

Could it be gamespy arcade cause i installed that cause i bought F.E.A.R. and installed the thing for multiplayer
Even though my comp doesnt have enough RAM to run the piece of junk

Never heard of it ...

The BEST AV is disconnect from the Internet, reformat and never reconnect. Second best AV is Linux.

Alternatives ...
