Title: Computer Freeze at startup
Post by: murtagh98 on December 22, 2008, 03:17:57 PM

I noticed a virus on my cpu a couple of days ago. I decided to get NOD32 antivirus and as I was installing it, my computer froze. So i rebooted and when I went to startup, it suddenly it froze. It  keeps doing that on startup and Im pretty sure its the virus. Any Fixes?

Press F8 before Windows loads, enter safe mode and scan from there.

Just tried pressing enter?

Any account from normal mode is accessible in Safe mode. Do not pick the administrator account...
