    computer freezes when opening internet
    « on: October 19, 2011, 10:48:19 AM »
    My laptop had been open to the internet and iTunes for a while. When I went to type a new website in the screen completely froze. Task manager wouldn't work, so I powered off. When I turned it back on, it scanned a disk and said it was ok after a while. So my laptop restarted and it seemed fine, but when I went to the internet, after a minute it would freeze. Again, nothing worked, my mouse froze, task manager wouldn't come up so I was forced to shut down. When I restarted it scanned disks again, but the same thing keeps happening.
    I have windows vista, and internet explorer 7

      This sounds like a virus, maybe downloaded thru iTunes? Check your antivirus software, maybe it will find something.

        Usually when I have a virus, I start in safemode with networking, update malwarbytes and let it fix the problem. Now I can't start in safemode, it keeps stopping on crcdisk.sys
        Any ideas?

        Is that the ONLY thing you've tried ?? No Anti-virus scan, Malwarebytes in normal mode etc etc

        Maybe you should start a new topic in the Virus section !!
        11 cheers for binary !

          I can't run anything because I haven't been able to get on my compute at all. Anyway, I don't think it is a virus, after researching this error some, it looks like it might be my harddrive.

          Try Safemode with Networking and post all currently installed protection softwares such as antivirus, firewall, scanners or Ad blocker.
