Solve : Worst virus in the world?

Answer»

What has happened:
Funny lines started showing up, computer started crashing, sata DRIVERS for cdrom drives uninstalled, lots of hardware started failing or getting errors.
Current state:
Can not log in to an account without the computer bluescreening.
Can not read cds

What I've tried:
Some rescue cds via usb flash drive
Kaspersky Rescue CD (virus does not LET the scan start)
BitDefender Rescue CD (virus FREEZES the virus scan and crashes computer, also funny lines appear during the scan)
"G Data Antivirus" Rescue CD (scan gets frozen)
Tried to reformat by booting from usb flashdrive with vista install files on it, computer crashes

Willing to do anything to make the computer work again

ThanksWhen you tried the CDs did you CHANGE the boot order in your bios....Thanks for the fast reply!

I have set my boot order in BIOS to
#1 removable
#2 cdrom
#3 harddrive
#4 disabled
and sometimes I used
#1 removable
#2 cdrom
#3 disabled
#4 disabled


CD's don't work though, the computer doesn't recognize the drives anymore, and there are i/o port errors when I use a firewire cd driveDo you know anyone with a router? If so you need to set up a network, with another computer with a strong anti virus, use the boot sequence order to boot from networking, use this network to CONTROL your computer, and run the anti virus. Sometimes this works, and others not so much. Quote from: ireland-1 on June 23, 2009, 03:42:28 AM

that won't work. At all.I hear about a program called DBAN. I'm having trouble putting DBAN-2 on my flash drive because it does not come with a .exe like DBAN-1.

Can anyone help me use an .iso file when I boot from a usb flash drive?I think Step 5 is what you want.

Why would you not just use an anti-virus program on a bootable cd?because she said she can't boot from one, that is what I had in mind when I came to this post, but as I read on I found out that she can't use it.
