@Mangled.
Can you explain why norton is suck? I belive you but i try to explain to my dad that its the dumbest antivirus, and it never comes out right.(he belives notron is god AV)

I can actually... See, Norton is one of, if not the most popular retail anti-virus. Most people who program viruses and trojans know this and so they make their viruses so that they can't be stopped or detected by Norton. It's popularity makes it very unreliable in this sense. In fact I remember a few years ago that a hacker even managed to distribute a virus via Nortons own updating system which was a little embarrassing for them to say the least.

 I recommend using Bitdefender which is a really good anti-virus (it's also free) and isn't that well known at all, they even do small removal tools for individual viruses. If you really want a retail anti-virus then try Kaspersky, it's reliable whilst also being a popular one. Avast is good too.

Mangled, was it you or someone else, but I have heard that exact same story almost verbatum on here. I believe ben was talking about how he wanted the virus.
If you think 4-year was being serious with the flamer thing, you are beyond help.
Anyway, avast worked for me one time when AVG didn't. (Avast took out 4 trojans via bootscan, avg did not) so maybe the opposite will work for you. I would recomend just wiping the hard drive if there isn't anything important on there, whats a few game saves if you can't even use your computer. On the other hand, don't wipe your english report.  [retard]

Nah, a different idiot tried system restore...
That hurt my feelings, i feel emotionally abused and confused. No, but i got everything working again. Try scanning in safe mode with whatever program your using, it sure as hell helped me.

I attend grammar school, last grade, and ignorance is all around me. Well, good for them. Ignorance is bliss.
