Solve : help me, i deleted something?? |
|
Answer» My computers antivirus ran out so last night I searched for something free. I downloaded AVG and it found 42 trojan horses. I quarantined them, and deleted some, but now Internet explorer doesn't work RIGHT, say one page will come up, then the next page will say page cannot be displayed. then it will work next TIME. I tried to restore what I deleted to it's original location, but IE still doesn't work right. I am running windows xp. Any help about this will be appreciated, Oh, I also tried to go back to a previous date but that didn't help.Can you delete the trojans that you put into Quarantine? [glb]Flame[/glb]hey, this is what I ended up doing, any help woudl be appreciated... OK, let me start at the beginning. I downloaded adaware to try to get rid of spyware, it kept locking up, so I went to their website to FOLLOW their directions. After I followed them and ran adaware in safe mode, when I restarted my computer, there was nothing but the desktop picture, no icons, no taskbar. Well, eventually, I realized it had to do with the profile, there were 2 profiles, one was mine, one was administrator. I deleted the profile that was mine, (b/c the icons were coming up in safe mode under admin) but it wouldn't auto. logon as admin. I deleted my old profile and created a new one. Everything worked fine until I tried to connect to the internet. I have bellsouth dsl. It connects, like say if I go to ajc.com the site comes up, but it won't let me log in to anything, my credit union site home page comes up but anything I try to login to comes up as page cannot be displayed. I have reconfigured my modem and conections, reset settings to default, restored to a previous date, and nothing is working. I have a feeling it has something to do with the corrupted files in teh other profie taht I deleted. Any suggestions? Aside from reformatting the whole thing? Any help would be appreciated, and you can also email me at [emailprotected]Also, I meant to tell you that I had downloaded taht free firewall, zonealarm, when I uninstalled zonealarm, it started working again, that's when I decided to get rid of the spyware..... and messed up I uninstalled avg, and zonealarm, and put norton internet security, but today I deleted internet secirity and reinstalled avg, where it found 10 trojans, and deleted them... I don't have afirewall on there at all (but one does come with xp, but I think i have diabled it) so, explorer should be working right, unless with the avg and spybot I ran today deleted something I needed to make it run? jdchambers98......So , after reading your lenghty post , I am not sure if your pc is able to connect to and surf the Net ........ I find it a bit scarey that you were infected with 42 trojans and you say Norton saw none of them ........thats really odd. While Norton is primarily a anti virus app .....it will usually identify a lot of trojans ...even if it isnt able to remove them . Is your pc virus free now ? If you wish to rid yourself of spyware ......you might want to D/L Antispyware Beta ...........get it at http://www.microsoft.com/athome/security/spyware/software/default.mspx ....This app does a very good job on spyware . Let us know your status. dl65 It does connect and is surfing, actually I am using it now, but something taht has to do with logging in it won't let me do. If I go to walmart.com, I can surf around the site, but when it comes to login, or register, the page cannot be displayed, same with the credit union, can't login, and ajc.com.... I have checked my security settings... It looks like I will have to reformet, does anyone know where instructions are on saving the things you want when you reformat? Like, saving your files...? Or any suggestions before I do that? |
