Level 35 Troll

She's so mean that instead of using deodorant she gargles disinfectant and licks her armpits

Hello everyone! I would like to ask for help from someone, as I don’t know what to do anymore.

I turned on my comp half an hour ago. It’s acted strange in the past few days, so I ran my virus scanner multiple times; it didn’t find anything though. My Op system is Vista, and my virus scanner is NOD32, the latest version, it’s completely up-to-date. After I turned on it started booting, but when I logged in it wrote out it was loading the desktop. I became suspicious then, and I was right. It started in ‘safe mode’, it looked like Win98. It blocked all the startup programs, I got a bunch of error messages saying that this and that program can’t run anymore, so I should install them again. I ran a deep scan on my comp, but at 98% it froze and wouldn’t run anymore. I wanted to reset the system, but all the reset points were gone except for two points today. Then I restarted my comp, and prepared to reinstall the Op system. However, it booted like normal, and I could log in like normal as well. Then it showed my normal desktop and I could run all the programs. What is happening? Could someone help?

ps: sorry for tl;dr

Your problem is Vista and porn.

And if it’s working now, why fix it?

You better disable the restore points, is the place most of the virus hide after infecting your pc.

Try downloading other antivirus or antispyware, like Avast.

had this happened to me once. i guess your using vista home basic ‘cause that’s the crappiest of all vistas.

the windows 98 theme thingy did happen but not the complete meltdown of programs installed; and the cause of that was i left my phone connected to my pc (bluetooth) and i restarted my pc because it froze out.

my advice is not to mind it at all for vista is well-known to be buggy. hell, i’ve had worse experiences than that. but ultimately, a restart for teh system could pretty much solve ANY vista problems. lol.

Sounds like you may have some bad HD sectors.

Put this on a boot disc, load it up, let it run. Should take about 4 hours, but it will re-magnetize your bad sectors without data loss.

Sorry about the shareware, if you can find a free version, be my guest, but I’m not gonna post warez on here. I’d be banned like that.

Celerysteve is incredible... he is just so... so incredible.

NOD32 is the better antivirus, imo.

Ya check for bad sectors with chkdsk.

If your start menu doesn’t have the RUN command, press the Windows key and ‘R’ on your keyboard. (windows key being the stupid thing between left control and alt.

type in CMD and run it. then type CHKDSK /f

it’ll say it needs to reboot to scan, press Y for yes

if it doesn’t automatically restart your PC, restart it.

When it loads windows this time it’ll do a text mode full scan of your drive and probably find file system errors.

And signed, prof commie. NOD32 is the best antivirus on the market according to most things.

Agreed.

Chkdsk is basically the same thing as HDD Regen, but it’s a bit slower and if corrupted can harm system files.

Also, I use NOD32, and it’s really kickbum.
