Default Re: your virus...


you should also Remove all nonessential items from MSCONFIG start menu.. Go to Start/ Run.... type : msconfig, hit enter... then click on the Startup Tab... in there either remove all or .. remove the ones not needed.. then press Apply and reboot... Don't worry, If something doesnt work right that you need to, just go back thru msconfig and recheck that item, reboot and you're good to go.. this will help speed up your PC..Not to mention if the virus/spyware added programs to run on your PC.. this will stop em..ALso a good idea to Wipe your temp FILES CLEAN.. Make sure in your File settings.. you have enabled... SHow hidden files and folders..then go to My Computer/-C Drive (or your main drive)/-, Documents and settings-User Folder(your My Documents)/- then Local Settings .. IN there there will be 3 folders.. 1) TEMP 2) HISTORY 3) TEMPORARY INTERNET FILES.. Delete all files in these folders.. Then go to your Windows Folder.. open the TEMP folder and remove everything.. then again in the Windows folder, open the PREFETCH folder.. remove all in there too.... that should clean up your sys alot and SPEED you up immensley!! Good luck CHeers!
