How can I fix my computer?

Question

My computer started going weird after I left a friend use it to surf random sites. I have a red & white box that keeps on appearing on my PC telling me that my laptop is infected & that there is a critical system error. A symbol that kind of looks like a no entry appears in the bottom right hand corner of the status bar. I run antispyware & virus software and it can't get the following off my computer Trojan Downloader. Win32.Zlob.ci & SpywareQuake 2.0. How in the world can I get this off? HELP!!!

Try using another antispyware.antivirus software. Different software companies have different virus/spyware databases. If all else fails, try using Windows System Restore and restore the system back to before you let your friend use the computer.

Answer 5

Hi.

If you have your original disks that came with the computer, I recommend re-installing the OS. First, reformat the harddrive. Then install Windows Defender.

Here's a helpful site:

The only sure way I've ever found to solve Winblows problems is to partition it's drive and reinstall windows. This sux very badly. Sorry, bud.

Answer 7

Try system restore otherwise you may have to reformat. If you do then a disc cleaner like acronis is a good idea to make sure it is destroyed.
