BSOD constant while booting issue, help?

September 3, 2009

*Driver_irql_not_less_or_equal
*0xD1 error with other sectors listed (i.e. 0xeed77cf1)
*PXE-E61 failed on network LAN boot
WinXP, SP2 (had SP3, but downgraded due to vulnerability problems).
AMD, Compaq Presario M2105US

System Restore (need to be in "normal mode") & Last Known Configuration don’t help.

Chkdsk fails on reboot and scandisk does not run in safe mode

BIOS settings have been reset to default

I had Symantec Anti-virus w/Live Update, but that has not been performing well lately and I deleted it as Live Update was not actually Live Updating it. Any anti-virus software I dl, it refuses for some odd reason. What I do have installed is Malware Bytes & Wise Registry Cleaner 4.

I have seen most tech forums on the Web and none of them have been providing me a right answer, so I will take suggestions from here. Thanks to those that help me, I truly appreciate it. 🙂

Any place cheaper than Geek Squad to get computer virus removed?

Must have picked up a nasty virus despite having a firewall and good anti-virus software. Geek Squad does a good job but it is 0 just for the diagnostic I think, and I don’t know if they charge extra for virus removal.

I’m pretty computer savvy but I haven’t been able to figure this one out.

How to repair winXP system files, damaged by virusese?

August 14, 2009

I am using a multi boot system with WINXP and Ubuntu 7.04. My windows is badly infected with viruses and I have tried many anti-virus software. The all fail to remove the virus. the virus is slowly choking my system to death. Its changing the security policy so i cannot open network connections and stuff. and changing the policy back doesnt help either. I can see that my kernal32.dll shell32.dll and some other system files are infected. should i just delete these files and try a repair with WinXP? If i really need a clean install, the GRUB is lost. Is there a way to restore the GRUB then?

Anti-virus software?

July 17, 2009

I don’t have an Anti-virus software installed in my computer. That’s because I’ve upgraded to Common Sense 2009. Why buy pricey anti-virus softwares when you can use your brain! That’s right, If you actually put your mind into removing any virus from your computer you’ll realize it wasn’t that hard. All you’d need to successfully run Common Sense in your computer are:

1. Google
2. A brain
3. Internet access.

Why settle for crappy software that tend to scare the shit out of you and annoy you when you can easily notice when you’re computer is slowing up and acting strangely run diagnostics on it and presto. You’ve successfully used Common Sense 2009.

Which anti-virus software do you guys use?
