computer question...*urgent help*
 
my computer is acting 100% gay right now. so much spyware its crazy. i have ran mcafee like 3 times, and i have ran ad-ware, but now im gettin trojan virus' left and right.

my question, can I put in those system re-boot discs and just restore the C drive? I am running win XP.

I saved everything I need that was on the C drive, but i put all of my programs such as photoshop on the D drive. can I just reboot the C drive?

Yes you can. You should format the drive when asked.

Yes, you could. That should get rid of the problem (even temporarily).

Err, kinda read it wrong. How about you reformat both drives, and just install those programs again? If you downloaded those off of the internet one of them might be the source of your problems ;)

none of it was from porn. for once. :P

you wanna know where it came from i think....
www.prowrestling.com its a site my bo-in-law helped create but when i went there "hello pop up city!" have been tryin to clean my computer ever since.

I reset the computer date in the system restore and no trojan detections yet, but the PC is running a little slow, and i still have some ------ pop-ups. I havent had popups for a long as time now. :-\
