Major computer problem

What are you supposed to do when the computer you use at home no longer loads up like it is supposed to? Like you turn it on and it gets to the part where you type your password in and you type it in and then it gets to the next screen and just freezes up.

hmm, try booting in safemode and then run some scanning progs like ad-aware and some virus protection. See if that sorts it, or try the clich�d reinstall

That happened to me Slim. You more than likely have a virus and you will need to reformat the damn thing

Yeah, a trojan horse or something is infecting your harddrive. That exact thing happened to me before too. Now I use Trojan Hunter and HijackThis and it seems to work.

all you need is to download critical updates from the MS site and keep you virus definitions up to date, the only 3rd part scanner id reccomend is ad-aware, the rest just add more shit.
