Computer Exploding!

[Dog--]

Well.. not exploding, but it has a virus that only lets me get in any folder like 1/5 times... It puts up a dialog box with "Data Execution Prevention" (then I click "Do Not Send"), then another box, then another, then it closes explorer, and restarts explorer about 5 seconds later, closing everything. (except Firefox for some reason..)

So I burned all my important stuff to RW discs and put them to my backup 80 gig drive.. It was a untouched drive with XP in it, so I just put drives/music/stuff like that in it, no viruses were transfered (thank god), so I get to install my internet on that tomarrow, then I'll be set.. although since 5 other people use this, and only this drive, I have to switch drives every time I go on/off the computer..

Good Thing: I get a whole 80 gig drive to myself (games!)

Bad Thing: I have to shut off computer, unlock drive, slide it out, put other one in, lock it back up, turn on computer every time I go on.

Good Thing: My new (but old) drive starts up in like 45 seconds

Bad Thing: My old (but really old) drive starts up in like 10 minutes..


So right now I'm on this virus infected peice of crap, I can't even play games on this one, since the other one doesn't have internet there is no HL2 on it, just Doom 3, Halo, etc.. My old drive doesn't have a USB slot, so I can't just transfer the Valve folder files over to my good drive, so I'm basicly f*cked for HL2 *sigh*..

Viruses are stupid, and retarded nerds make them because they have no life. (I really needed to say that)

I just needed to go on this rant about my HD's and Viruses...

so your cant reformat the fuxxored drive?

 

[Dog--]

I would gladly format it, but like I said 5 other people use this f*cked drive, so I delete their shit, then I get knocked out..

better off getting your own pc or just doing a dual boot

Well back up all that stuff, might take awhile, but thats what I suggest.

You really think it's a virus?

I bet it's naaawwwt

And isn't Data Execution Prevention something to do with AMD cpus?

Whatever you're getting in the error messages, try copying the message and pasting it into google. Put " "s around it and hit search to see if anyone else has come across this problem and if they've solved it on another message board. I solve like 90% of my PC problems this way

[Krynn72]

**** those 5 other people, and tell them they have 2 days to remove their crap before its gone.

Thats what I did to my family.
