wykikitoon 20698 Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 b0rked, thats what the kids say n'wadays dont they? Anyways, I got a virus yesterday and its b0rked my lappy. I booted in safe mode and did a scan and its found nothing more than what it blocked last time. I.e it f@cking allowed it access, then found it again then blocked it then deleted it. Now, everytime I boot up in normal mode I get a Blue Screen. Is it a format jobbie? I am a little worried about a BSOD isnt that a hardware issue normally?

Phil 6 Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Blue screen isn't usually a virus. did you get an alert in your AV? Have you installed any new software/hardware recently? There's no need to format it. As if it gets into safemode, you just need to work out what's causing the conflict (blue screen). If you havent installed anything recently (check add/remove programs), just going into safe mode and switching off all the none Microsoft apps > Start > Run > msconfig. If that allows you to boot, you can add them back on a couple at a time to see which is causing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wykikitoon 20698 Posted January 23, 2012 Author Share Posted January 23, 2012 Aye, ill be doing that tonight. I havent installed any Hware or Sware recently. The AV did kick up an alert and in my logs it was given access, thats when its caused damage and now its been deleted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wykikitoon 20698 Posted January 23, 2012 Author Share Posted January 23, 2012 might have deleted one of the patched/replaced system files that the virus made but windows needs to run hence the failing to load but safe modes grand because it's not trying to look for the required file. Hmm, what you saying Ant lad, how do I tackle this mofo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wykikitoon 20698 Posted January 23, 2012 Author Share Posted January 23, 2012 see if you can get the error message for me, if it's windows vista/7 and you've the cd lob it in and boot from that and run "start up repair" might sort it for you too Sweet, its Vista and I have the CD so will have a gander tonight.

Phil 6 Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Most AV programs use quarantine, so you should be able undo any damage. Check the vendor website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil 6 Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 do you have any system restore points? > start > all program > accessories > system tools > system restore if there's none I'd do what Ant said and run a Start-up repair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
