Computer problem after registry cleaning?

December 11, 2009

I somehow caught a virus on my laptop(thanks to my little brother) and i used the smithfraudfix(used it twice before with no probs). I cleaned the registry in safe mode and rebooted the pc in normal mode. Starts with blank blue screen and takes about thirty minutes for icons to appear on screen. cant execute any programs or click on any icons. Do I have to reinstall windows again or is there a way i can get around to make it work? I have a sony vaio vgn1nb130 with 2 gb memory running windows xp media edition.

my computer restarts when i try accessing registry. there is also no turn off button now. I use XP Pro. Help?

I think i ve a virus that adds a .exe extension to files. I try to access the registry but then it restarts, can’t access msconfig either, can’t install any thing as it closes every window anytime one opens. Am at a loss bcoz I have data on the drive and I can’t format the whole disk, the virus lauches when i access the d partition. Please if i could know which virus this is and which antivirus can actually clean the files even if to delete them. I can I wipe the c drive and reinstall windows; but then i will need an antivirus that will eliminate the virus from the D drive. That is if there is no other way around it.

My computer is very slow. How to fix this without spending any money?

My computer is ridiculously slow. It has no virus, malware or spyware at all because I ran complete scan of antivirus, firewall and antispyware. I also ran the registry cleaner of lavasoft.

I use Avira Antivir classic, Comodo firewall, PC tools Spyware doctor, ad-aware and lavasoft registry cleaner for protection. So if there is no virus, malware or spyware then why is it still so ridiculously slow?

It is an emachines desktop which I purchased in April 2005. It still has windows xp. I am tired of doing computer recovery and re-formatting the hard drive.

I just did the recovery 2 days back. After recovery it is fast but then when 2 to 3 days pass, it again gets very slow.

I talked to emachines technical support and they say i have to add more memory. Why? Why must i add more memory when it is only 3 and a half year old computer?

Can a 3 and a half year old car, have so many problems? Then why PC’s fail after 2 to 3 years only?
i also added a performance enhancer named Boostkit. It is sold by mcafee.

Unfortunately the performance booster also failed. I realize my get wasted. This computer is almost in its grave now.

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…
