Windows XP CD/Virus help?

December 4, 2009

Ok so I get a virus called virtumonde and for the love of god i just cant get rid of it. It has already done to much damage. AND TRUST ME!!! i have run every virus scan imaginable. Over 30 and over 10 online virus scans. I have read forum after forum going into safe mode and even editing the registry and this bad boy is still here. So anyway i figure its time to wipe and reload problem is i dont have the XP cd. I have my code on the side of my box with the xp serial code but i just dont have the actual XP cd. So i have heard that you can create one XP cd straigh from the computer itslef but i dont know how to do it. Can anyone help a guy out…?

Programs i have tried:(some of them)
Spysweeper, Spybot, Kaspersky, SuperAntivirus, Virtumod Remover, Windows One Live care, AVG, Registry Cleaner, Dr WebCureit, Rootkit Revealer, Symentac Pro, Ewindo, ATF cleaner, Noadware 5.0, and much MUCH more… It just keeps comming back over and over again…. I want to start over…
I have already downloaded the Lavasoft software. Read up i have tired over 30 programs i dont need antivirus i need a XP cd…

Windows Vista will not start on my ASUS Gaming Series laptop. Help?

December 3, 2009

I tried turning on my laptop and it takes me to a screen which says "Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause." It then gives me two options, which are "Launch Startup Repair" and "Start Windows Normally." I have tried using both, but either choice makes my computer restart and takes me to the same screen. Alt+Ctrl+Del restarts my computer as well. Escape shuts of the timer to automatic selection. I have tried running both the recovery CD and the support CD, and neither works because Windows is not operating. Do you have any suggestions as to what I should do?
I cannot give the computer any commands via mouse, and it will not respond to any keyboard commands either.
