UdderlyOffroad Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 No it's not - read what people, specifically Pete3000, are telling you. You have a nasty malware infection. They only sure way to remove this is to wipe your HD & reinstall windows, having first got your data off by other means. If you dont have the patience or skill to do that, pay somebody else to do so. Fiddling around with a chronically infected system usually makes it worse. You'll note how the malware has disabled safe mode, for instance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete3000 Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 without knowing which virus you have, i can be generally useful. chap called britec09 on youtube has some good fix it vids. I have linked an example of what you describe. ransomware or malware. The usual enter code to continue, scam. just give us your bank card details and we'll do the rest.......

PaddyMac Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Hi if you didn't get sorted this may help(if you know someone to download and put it onto a cd for you) Download Hiren's BootCD 15.2. You can download from here http://www.hirensbootcd.org/download/ Just go to the bottom of the page and click on the link that says "Filename: Hirens.BootCD.15.2.zip" Burn it to a cd and put it into you pc and choose boot to cd on startup. Then choose mini xp This will bring up an operating system like option that you can use to run various installed programs including malware and virus removal programs that are built into the disk. you can copy pictures to a usb with it and have compleate access to your c; drive to try and fix any errors.There is even harddrive testing software on it.It is a little bit of hassle to download and burn but well worth it for everything it can do.... Hope this helps PaddyMac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
