So...I recently found a delightful virus on my system (2 days ago) Stats: PC: Lenovo V750 OS: Windows 7 Home Malware: Malwarebytes Registry cleaner: CCleaner I cleaned it, quarantined it and deleted it I rebooted my system and upon return it would do like always and ask for Windows login which it accepts. It then goes to a black screen and nothing. I boot into safe mode w/ networking and it works perfectly Under safe mode I run my virus scan and malware again. No errors detected and no viruses detected. So then it goes for several hours where I power down the computer manually and power on. So here is the important bit ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I log into the computer and it takes me to the login screen with no issues. I login and and it opens (desktop, wallpaper and all) But I notice something. The whole time, the WiFi icon shows it is still loading. Then if I try to even hover over something or double click something it's an absolute freeze. Then the Windows Needs To Shut Down error comes in. I click ok and the screen goes to black. i power down manually, log in and same thing. Over and over On VERY rare occasions I can get it to load and work but only if I start the system, log in and then click wifi off manually. Even then it doesn't always work ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- So last night I gave up and went to bed. Before doing so I went logged on and just let it sit for hours. Woke up and still problems. System restore to earlier date failed Chkdsk /R said no problems Windows startup repair said no problems Memory repair said no problem Disk repair said no problem SOMEHOW I got it to login this morning...hence I am posting to you any other ideas? I can't imagine I have HDD damage. When I boot into safe mode it works like a charm without a single problem Any ideas welcome...thank you
Do you remember the name of the virus at all? Could be worth having a look through the task manager processes tab for anything dodgy too.
Thanks for the start I have looked through all the processes and I have found no processes or startup/boot executions that are anything out of the ordinary. I really am stupid as heck. When I ran antivirus I never looked at the stupid name of the virus. Just that it had something to the tune of 43 viruses I cleaned boot/startup and no good. I am terrified...but I am going to attempt a reboot now...which scares me to death but here goes I can still edit UPDATE again So I rebooted FINALLY without having to try 50 times or having to power down manually...so far so good
I've been in a similar situation as this. I've tried a ton of anti-virus protections in the past such as, Trend Micro, Avast, Norton, etc. The only anti-virus that has kept my laptop virus free is Kaspersky. Though sadly, the only thing that has been able to fix my problems similar to this is reformatting. It's a last resort, but it's what does the job.
The best anti-virus is Kaspersky or Bitdefender, but if virus already dmg your windows you should reformatting.
thanks to all...love you guys So far I have rebooted three times and it seems to be working...I am going to get Kapersky I think
