hmm...wuts it do when you try to install the antivirus? i was gonna hook u up to a link for a cracked copy, but i figured u already have 1 and u cant use it. it probably did some stupid crap in your registry that can be undone...dont stress it..ill try to check **** out...wuts it do when you try to install norton?

I've got a virus, but it doesn't do much, just shuts my comp off if i click on it, sorry dude, what about resetting the whole computer, u know that prosses that takes like 10 hours.

Even if you reinstall windows more then likely the virus will still be there (if it was a well written virus)



You would have to format your harddrive and then reinstall.



Do you know the name of the virus?? If so there is probably a procedure to remove it.

if you do know the name go here and use the search feature.



Mcafee?

if you cant find the name and procedure for getting rid of that virus just reinstall windows and make sure you reformat the hard drive and i wouldnt back up any files before you reinstall because they may be contaminated

What I did is burned everything off of the HD that I wanted to save (pics and such) then formated my hard drive, reinstalled windows and installed McAfee before anything else. Then pop in the disc and scan the drive for viruses. This way you don't lose any files unless they are infected. It worked well for me, just make sure you have the current .dat files.

is there anyway i could mess with the registry so i could run programs or so i could at least install norton. and try to get rid of it. all it seems to do is not let me open programs.

If you ever backed up your registry you could reinstall it. Does it just affect your shortcuts or even when you go to the actual folder where the program is. Try finding the actual .exe file for the program you want to run and see what happens.

when i try to open a file directly from the folder a little window pops up saying windows cannot find sysrnj.exe this file is needed to open files of .exe format kinda weird hmm. maybe i'll search for sysrnj.exe. any ideas?
