I usually have my computer on almost 24/7, making use of the hard disk sleep,
but recently I was leaving for a few days, and shut my computer down
completely. Next time I tried to start it up, it started loading, then would
freeze on a blank screen. I was able to get it started in safe mode, only to
discover that I had what seemed to be a very malicious trojan on my computer,
and the only way I was able to start the computer normally again was to
rewrite the master boot sector on my main hard drive, then run the repair off
my Vista disk. Once I did that I was able to scan my computer, and heal the
infected files of the trojan, but now I can't restart my computer without
having to rewrite the boot sector and running the repair off the disk without
it freezing up on the black screen. Also, when I open the start menu, the
normal shut down/restart option don't appear, and I have to log off the only
account on the computer before I can tell it to restart or shut down, and I
can't seem to fix that. Does anyone know anything I can do?
