Viruses and stupidity have killed my computer
« on: November 01, 2009, 06:14:25 PM »
Ok, my boyfriend is going to kill me.
I was trying to download a song for him and I got a virus instead. I was trying to fix it myself so he wouldn't freak out, but I couldn't into safe mode, which is what I was told to do before I scanned. I was told to download bootsafe, and now I can't even get the computer to turn on. And I keep getting a floppy disk 40 error. I have no idea what to do from here. I am so freaked out right now. Can anyone explain this is in computer retard terms?

Downlaod a song from what a cd,   That shouldn't of done nothing or itunes or walmart,   That shouldn't of caused a computer crash are cause a virus.    Can you go into regular mode if so what are you using for a virus scan.

What happens when you try to turn it on nothing,   Does the computer make a sound at all,   Are you sure all the cords or plugged in,    Did you mess with the insides of the computer at all,   Make sure the cords to the monitor and the computer is plugged in,   And the two power cords are plugged into  pluggins,   And make sure  the computer mouse and keyboard or pluuged in,  That's all you should need,  Did you take of the cover and mess around look in there,   And see if the hardrive is plugged in and it's connected to the motherboard the cdrom and that shouldn't make it not start, Make sure you have the computer turned off and even unplug it from the back before you take a look,   There should be a power cord for the hardrive and a plugging that connects to the motherboard and hardrive is the power supply plugged into the motherboard,   What happens when you try to turn it on,  You said nothing happens but you also said you also get a floppy disk error is that all you get are did you get that error but now you don't.

Can you access the the internet at all,  ''Or does it show this page can't be displayed''   If it says that try to go into google sometimes it's a fake  this page can't be displayed logo.     at the top of the screen type in www.google.com

There or also links to download these in the link that says
''Read this before requesting malware removal help'' it's right above the posts they have links to the downloads and it shows you how to post the logs


This is what is usually reccomended on this forum,
Malwarebytes seems to work the best for me.   I would try that first if you can get it running
don't run more than one virus scan at a time or else it will usually take alot longer.





Work through the Please read this thread and post the logs.

You can't turn on the computer but you get an error?

Do you have the install CD?
