So I got a virus...

[britishknight]

Cannot use google at all...

The origin was probably from encyclopediadramatica and I got blue screen of death. Did a system restore, now my computer is ****ed. I have no taskbar, no icons on desktop.

How do I use task manager to restore these

Someone please help, this is the absolute worst time for a computer to break during finals week.

edit: Even microsoft.com won't load, wtf.

edit2: c'mon ppl i'm freakin out

In my opinion you should probably just reinstall your OS and stop browsing the internet stupidly and without noscript enabled or no antivirus software on your computer.

Also do ctrl alt delete and go file, new task, and type in explorer.exe to bring back your taskbar.

browsing the internet stupidly

Usually to restore the Start Menu / Task Bar / and Desktop you would go to run new task in the task manager and then run "explorer.exe", without the quotes of course.

Edit: Didn't read Izzy's post. He beat me to it =/

Re: So I got a virus...

Damn. My computer is really ****ed this time. Can someone give me a link to download antivirus via 3rd party site. This virus is a smart **** and it won't let me go on any helpful sites to fix this pc.

Write down all your program and applications and reinstall your operating system. Copy files to an external harddrive as well.

Re: So I got a virus...

Thanks. I don't wanna **** anything up more , so I'll just give the desktop to a computer repairman to fix.

Re: So I got a virus...

My brother said that Macs aren't as prone to viruses as PC's are..? True/false?
I'm so bad with computers. I'd get raped sideways if I ever got a virus.

Re: So I got a virus...

i have a macintosh and i'm good with it. i can see and delete any virus for windows os without problems. oh, i also don't have any antivirus. this computer doesn't need one!

if you dont want to dilapidate your money there are also other os, like linux.

Re: So I got a virus...

Yeah, I have this 6 year old iBook G4 and I've never had anything wrong with it (except me bashing the keypad to the point where it doesn't work.. so I use a wireless keyboard lolol rage bad)

Will hopefully get a new iMac soon
