Start up problems
Hello;
After installing McAffe Scan, it ask me to reboot the computer, I did, but it just scan the disk (scandisk)and never finish, after one day I restart it and I cancel the scandisk but nothing worked on my desktop no even thw Star button so, I had to disconnect the power cable and connect it again, but the same thing. Right now the sandisk is working with the Start disk, but I'm afraid it's no gonna work and I'll have more troubles again. What can I do if its happen again?, because something similar happend to me before. Also, how can I delete some programs from memory because they charge inmediatly when I start the computer, I see it on the task bar, I tried to delete some of this programs I don't use from Add/Remove Programs but I don't see them, please show me how to remove this from memory. Herbert. |

First - try booting to Safe Mode. Does that work OK (if you cancel out the
Scandisk)? If so, then your PC may already be infected with viruses - You may have a virus/spyware hijack download the Stinger from here and run it to make sure that A-V-disabling viruses are not present on your PC http://download.nai.com/products/mca...rt/stinger.exe - update your virus scanner and run a full system scan of all files. Reboot to Safe Mode and run CWShredder - to remove variants of the CoolWebSearch hijacker. http://www.merijn.org/cwschronicles.html Use CWShredder, the removal tool: http://www.merijn.org/files/cwshredder.zip http://www.merijn.org/files/CWShredder.exe http://www.spywareinfo.com/downloads...CWShredder.exe http://www.zerosrealm.com/downloads/CWShredder.zip download AdAware from www.lavasoftusa.com, install, update, and run it to remove spyware, adware, and other such nasties from your system. -- Noel Paton (MS-MVP 2002-2004, Win9x) Nil Carborundum Illegitemi http://www.btinternet.com/~winnoel/millsrpch.htm Please read http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm on how to post messages to NG's or http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/f.../Mar27pmvp.asp "Herbert" wrote in message ...
