[neillsmob]

can someone help me out here, my friend DL kazaa lite and DL something and didnt scan it first with AV software, and he executed the DL, and now he cant get access to his computer at all when he boots his system it doesnt get by the red compaq logo, then flashing curusur, that said that the time and date are wrong or not working, dont now his specs apart from that hes running Windows Me, any help or suggestions much appreciated. Also the PC does not let me boot into safe mode, it does not even let me get into the windows enviroment.:confused:

OK - get av software and follow the instructions on the pakage for "I have a virus now" Do not do the install cause all that will happen is the AV will be infected and or disabled depending on the flavor of vius.

If this is not possible because you still have not gotten around the can't boot stage you have two options.

1) Remove hd and slave it in another machine and scan it - hope for the best. Make sure the other pc is right up to date with anti vrus defintions. Hopefully the vrius was not too destructive so you do not have to....

2) Make a boot disk, write protect it before using it on the PC and fdisk your way to a clean slate. If this draconian exercise does not work first clear the bios and then retry. Make sure you have all of the system disks and maybe a new BIOS to install.

Good Luck,
