Solve : All Programs Won't Open? |
|
Answer» I have a Sony Vaio Laptop and I think I got a virus thru Limewire. Nothing will open except limewire. I can't get on the internet, email, control panel, my computer, nothing. I can't even do a system restore. The only thing I can do is Limewire. I don't have recovery DISK and I don't want to do that cause I have stuff I need to keep. I'd like to resolve this without formatting if possible. I have XP Proffessional.Can you do anything via Safe Mode?No. Its doin the same thing in safe mode.Quote I don't have recovery disk and I don't want to do that cause I have stuff I need to keep. You wouldn't have been in this situation had you taken proper precautions. I assume you have scanned for viruses and installed a firewall by now? Recovery disks will not remove any stored information, they will only replace Windows files I believe.. You can use the repair console when booting off the Windows XP CD.trekkie28001.....Do you have a floppy drive? I would use another pc ....and go to http://vil.nai.com/vil/averttools.asp and D/l Stinger V 2.41. onto a floppy disc and then try and run it on the infected machine ....... let US know how you make out dl65 Quote You wouldn't have been in this situation had you taken proper precautions. Easy Raptor.. not everyone knows to make backups. I don't bother with them EITHER. Quote I assume you have scanned for viruses and installed a firewall by now? Just how do you suppose this be done if the user can't open anything?Quote Easy Raptor.. not everyone knows to make backups. I don't bother with them either. I never said he had to create backups. I never create backups. I was talking Common Sense®, virus SCANNER, firewall, latest MICROSOFT (Security) updates Quote Just how do you suppose this be done if the user can't open anything? Like I said, if he had taken the proper precautions, he wouldn't have been in this situation in the first place. |
