so, I have it in safe mode right now scanning for viruses. if it deletes them all, I wont worry about reformatting. But I also installed macafee on my desktop and it found a trojan too. I never had a problem on that one though.

That is called the sasser worm virus or some bullshit like that, it hides in all of the files that start your computer so if you get rid of it it just shows right back up when you restart your comp, windows released some shitty *** update that allows you to fix it, do a search somewhere on the Sasser Worm Virus, thats about all I can say, I had it about a year ago.

*Edit, try this, it should help

After scanning both my desktop and laptop, it turns out that the desktop had 9 trojans (but never gave me ANY problems at all....maybe its too shitty for the trojans to even work, lmao), and the laptop only had that one trojan. But I was able to delete it when I Was in safe mode. Thanks for that tip guys. It doesnt seem to have ny of the symptoms anymore and I've restarted it a couple times. On a positive note, McAfee was catching and deleting new trojans left and right yesterday while I was having problems.

burn your computer , just kidding..

enter in mode safe (i dont know how this is said..) and run your antivirus.. if you use a Windows Xp , update it. seem the sasser , though you can defuse it.

yea wtf is going on in this thread..

when u get the shutdown timer thingy u can stop it by going to start > run > type in "shutdown -a"

get hijackthis.. spybot search and destroy.. get zone alarm..

go start > run > type in "msconfig" click the start up tab.. click disable all..

restart.. rerun hijackthis.. spybot search and destroy..

if it still doesnt work.. restart into safe mode.. when the pc is starting up.. hit f8 f8 f8 f8 f8 f8 f8 till the prompt comes up and select safe mode.. in safemode u can go through and manually delete the files..

good luck. if i wasnt dead tired.. i would have went into better detail..

sry.

Another long night trying to castrate yourself with your left hand and some crisco? Keep at it. Enough friction over a long enough time, and I'm sure it'll pop right off.

Don't be a -----. Go into regedit(windows, run, regedit). Then go to Local Machine->Software->Microsoft->Windows->Current Version->Run. list what is there. The names generally stick out. If you disable it from the run sequence it can't do anything. Thats all hijack this does. After that you probably can remove it pretty easily with your run of the mill spyware remover. Hell Microsoft just released a new free spyware tool that I have. It seems to be pretty decent. A lot of people are saying its very very good.

Also, stop using IE. It sucks. You will get spyware. Mozilla will protect you much better.
