Please help ) Thanks!!

 

I started using Firefox a few days ago after you first suggested it, which works fine. I've since noticed other problems with my computer, since it was first "taken over" by the malware,even though it is now "clean", it's now really slow, (P4 3.06GHz), and I'm getting strange "out of memory" errors, and "device is being used by another appliction" etc, even though I've got nothing else running in the background or otherwise! I guess it's time to bite the bullet and do a complete format and re-install, I've never done that before, I didn't get a Win XP disc when I first bought my computer, I'm not sure of the best way to go about it?

 

@aabbccdd
There is no need for uninstalling IE. You can use them both at the same time, infact, uninstalling IE is not recommended, it can cause all kinds of problems...

@blondman
So you have no Win XP install cds or Restore discs ?

@Percheron

Ok, you got some infections on your computer....

You don't have an antivirus on your computer. Download and install one.

-> Wait for the update to download and install
-> Quit the program, we'll use this later.

Download ATF Cleaner by Atribune to your desktop -> http://www.atribune.org/ccount/click.php?id=1
Do NOT run yet.

Go to Control Panel -> Add/Remove programs -> Remove BetterInternet, SpySpotter3, Zango if found

Download fixwareout.exe to your desktop http://downloads.subratam.org/Fixwareout.exe
Doubleclick it and follow instructions. Click Next , Install and make sure that Run fixes is selected. You have to restart your computer when asked so.

No, when I bought my computer it didn't come with any Win XP CD's or restore discs, I bought it new at a reputable computer store, (CentreCom)with XP Pro already installed, but too late to complain three years later!I guess I could buy XP Home or XP pro at a local shopping centre, I'm running XP Pro at the moment, but don't think I need pro over home edition, given the extra cost of XP Pro. What are your thoughts?

 

depending what your ding the home verison if fine if your doing alot of networking then pro is the way to go ,i think office depot had XP home for 39 dollar with a rebate last week, you might check there add and see if its still on or on the web
