I really need help with my laptop. I've been working on it for months now. I have a Gateway tablet running on windows XP. My dilemma startd when i downloaded from a torrent and this malware found its way into my system.
The symptoms: there is this bogus antivirus trying to install (keeps on popping up) and my computer started to run so slow. So I tried to remove this malware/trojan/virus (virtumonde) which was detected by my anti-virus, and my next dilemma came - my computer was still slow and my explorer.exe started to disappear resulting to a crash.
I restarted my compter in safe mode and I tried to check my hard drive via My Computer... to my shock, I couldn't find drive d nor f. All I have is my hard drive c, shared folders and documents. So, here comes the worst part, I tried reformat my computer... everything was running smoothly till the partition part came. The message was something like this "Missing Hard Drive C, no drive availabe for partitioning". I tried using a floppy disk as well, the message was "Invalid Drive" seems like drive A is aslo not being detected.
But the funny part is, my computer is working on safe mode. I deleted all the virus on safe mode but when i try to reboot on normal mode, my explorer.exe goes wild which leads to a crash.
What is causing this???
Please help me... I really am desperate!!!
