maybe his MBR is corrupted,or his paging file(virtual memory) is like set to occupy all the space?

What is MBR? So any solution?

10x for some info

MBR = This first sector of the hard disk is called the master boot record (or sometimes the partition table or master boot block).

for MBR failure solution refer here....

my neighbour's pc suffering alot virus and spyware....when i inspect his pc,his norton 2004 already corrupted...

i tried installing avg and adaware since its free...but when half way the windows close itself...all other application also same including windows task manager,auto close itself...tried to install in safe mode but same result...

so,how to kill this virus that close all application what we open? i cant install avg until now...

Well, so it got popup any error msg? maybe it's the os got problem. Virus usually don't do such things. Maybe should format the HDD.

10x for the info guys

that virus call brontox..if someone have another way to solve this problem without formating, he/she really superb..

Download anti virus software such as AntiVir fr other pc. Dun downld fr the infected pc coz brontok will close down windows. Install the software from thumbdrive. It works for me.

For me the best way to deal with virus-infected PC is to format the harddrive and install the OS from the scratch. I'm a sceptic

BTW. since this is the share-your-experience in dealing with viruses thread, I would like to share mine. Err Not my PC exactly, but my officemate's. Her PC was hit by a virus few months ago. Sorry, I can't remember the virus name. The virus will DELETE some antivirus softwares like Norton, AVG, Kaspersky, etc after it infected the PC. I used Hijackthis to remove virus-suspected process that executed during the boot-up and restart the PC. Then I installed Kaspersky antivirus. The installation went fine. But I cannot use it. The virus deletes the antivirus as soon as the installation process completed. I didn't knew about this until I was wandering why the definition-updating process takes forever to complete. I did some researches and found out why. Beside deleting the antivirus softwares, the virus will modify the updating process. The updating is there, but the only things that will updated is the virus itself, not the definition files. Clever, very clever

You can use online virus scanner actually...
expect the virus blocks all internet connection....
or you can use Stinger which a software that can put into USB drive or CD,
so u can use Stinger to remove viruses. (Stinger doesn't need any installation)

mine is same as others, get the brontox remover(coz brontox will autoclose the antivirus), start your antivirus, update the definition and scan again.. better use on-boot scan.. or..

some of the way to prevent is rename your cmd.exe file.. a lot of virus will findo cmd.exe to do their works.. so, just rename it..
mine, ive rename my cmd.exe to ayam.exe

Really can prevent? 10x

last time..when still noob to internet..just download everything ....kena worm..kena virus...yeah..spyware included...yay T_T...

end up with reformatting whole hdd

dunno yet, luckly my pc is still uninfected when implement it...

me myself seldom hit by virus or spyware...... is actually the person around give me some lesson ...... since i always access to internet - firewall, anti-virus and plus a anti-spyware program i think is a must......

i probably always aware on what program is running on startup (i use to check my msconfig + delete inactivate with msconfig cleanup) and keep my registry clean also (use registry cleaner to clean unuse registry). This i think will help u to fast notice if any strange program is running (not install by urself).

for download new software and program try to get know to whether the software itself got carry any spyware or not.... like kazaa b4 will mention that it will bring along aspyware forget it name ..... and try not to download those software crack cos most of the ppl get hit by virus or trojan is from those crack u download.

this only my opinion if wrong plz correct me

YA! Good point. Well, i'm same as ya. Seldom hit by virus or spyware. Kazaa lite is a free-spyware. Yet, it also depend on your luck. I just install AVG , that enough for me

last time i got get a virus i think.my pc still can run.then day after day my mouse start to hang a while n when move the mouse fast,it willl hang n need to restart the pc.then next day,my pc will auto restart sometime.then another day,my cd rom cannot function already.put wat cd inside also say no cd inside.the virus is just like delete my system file.then i cant go in to windows already.need to send back.but i get back the pc in 2-3 months coz still got warranty by acer.zzz.acer sux
after i get back my pc,whole had disk was format.i think was ok already n just surf friendster n lowyat net only.i also not always play the pc.after 2 weeks my mouse start to hang already.then next few days i cant go in windows again.when wan to go windows,the pc keep restarting.now need to send back to acer company again.i duno they got fix my pc or not.zzz.duno need to wait how many month again.i swear i wont buy a acer computer again!!!

U got install antivirus software? Got full scan your hdd? Your situation more sounds to technical problem rather than virus. Normally, after they format your hdd. The virus/worm should be erase. Hmm.. maybe some parts of the hardware not good. YA!! Acer laptop so problematic. I got frie buy acer laptop. Just buy about 2-3months. Den the whole laptop cant switch on. Go to the acer company and ask them to fix lo!!! I think it's the technical problem.

omg!!... my office oso kena brontox.. huhuhuuu..
