Dilatedpeoples28 Posted October 23, 2005 CID Share Posted October 23, 2005 first off i have learned that its bad to download games or software from p2p programs because most of the time they have viruses or some sort. Second instead of trying to delete all the files and viruses u have... just reformate ur windows it will delete all the viruses and bad files. if there is any files u dont want to loose save them to a disk.

FallowEarth Posted October 24, 2005 CID Share Posted October 24, 2005 Some viruses are written in C++ on the kernel level, often exhibiting very similar symptoms as you have described....most of these infections are not picked up by AV's.
