well my PC is fucked, little help please

[Phrenetic]

ok i got the nasty "vista antivirus 2008" rouge malware virus and it pretty much raped my pc for a day. it installed through a video codec

I pretty much have it all repaired program is killed, the reg is killed, its all off 100%.

the thing is firefox, IE, and notepad do not open at all, and internet will not work. Im not sure how to repair file/exe associations in the registry.


any fix-all way to "fix" this or do i have to backup-reformat-reinstall all my shit?

Holy shit! Someone on this message board did illegal substances?

John, I'm shocked and disappointed. The mere fact that you have experimented with drugs unlike anyone growing up in North America is shocking... just shocking.

In the war on drugs, you are on the losing side. Unlike phenny, who has only experimented with different drugs, which for some reason is much better!

i drink mouthwash and eat rubber pellets. it fucks you up

[rustybob]

If you haven't reformatted yet, try run a repair first. Boot from the CD (DO NOT go into the recovery console), and after you agree to the licensing agreement, it'll ask if you want to repair your current copy of Windows.

If that doesn't fix anything, you're shit out of luck and will have to reformat.

reformatting with my new shiny 500 gig sata drive tonight. I was planning on going back to 32 bit windows xp anyway.

thanks tho!

installing windows, drivers, usb devices, live, sound packs vst's and all that would take about that long.

[ebbomega]

I wouldn't really know, last time I reformatted a Windows machine it was Win98SE.

Don't usually see a reformat take longer than an hour on my box. Drivers all come automagically, installing auxiliary programs is a snap, preferences stay on unformatted /home partition so I don't even have to touch those.

[Phrenetic]

nothing i use is onboard/plug and play

[ebbomega]

Plug-N-Play is usually just referring to Windows environments. Joy of OSS is that you get ALL the drivers on the fly, even non-pnp devices. It's just a matter that a lot of the bleeding-edge tech stuff doesn't have proper support.

Only issues I've ever had are with ATI drivers, but from what I understand they're not doing so well in the windows camp either. The OSS drivers work fantastic for what I want to do.

pretty sure he means OSS as in open source software, not OSX
