if you get a virus its best to reformat. i cleaned out a comp with w32/spaces.a or somethin like that. and it didnt work properly. antivirus is only good if you have like 1 or 2infected files...
W32 is a bitch, itll cling to all your executables. Thats why I use all RAR's
yeah but i said w32/spaces. it was my mums computer. she'd got it off some e-mail. she refused to let me clean it claiming it would damage the computer in some way....
i tried to tell her so many times that the system couldnt get much worse... but n00bs never listen or learn
Same here but for my grama, she dosen't want me to install a vnc sderver on her puter so that when ever she has a problem I can fix it. She claims it could screw up her computer. I don't think getting in an argument is necessary so I just leave it at that. I hope she will lemme install it soon.
I guess the best way to get rid of a virus is just to reformat. Go back to a nice clean fresh installation of Windows. Back up everything of course before you do it.
my mums the kinda person that panics when she presses backspace and stuff like that
lol, uh oh...this popup said I may just have installed a virus due to infected files [BACKSPACE]!!! [BACKSPACE]!!! [BACKSPACE]!!! [BACKSPACE]!!! [BACKSPACE]!!! [BACKSPACE]!!!
There are still virues that can distroy data but they're rare. Most viruses are just little crapy programs that download ads and crap to your PC to waste space and just to piss you off. I recimend that everyone that are end users get to know your registry so if you end up with a virus then you can easyly remove it. Also its a good idea to leave the protected files thing on. most viruses target the DLLCashe directory.
LOL, that how you make an ATA133 drive run at ATA66 speed.
I end up reinstalling Windows every 2 months becuase I end up fucking it over. I just pop in my magic CD, bootup with NTFS DOS, copy files over to , format C: and install Windows.
BOD is obviously a prime candidate for dual boot. Put
them both on and boot to whichever you need at the
moment.
And unless you like reinstalling the OS you should use
a disk imaging app. I'm currently using Norton Ghost
but have used Powerquest Drive Image and it works
just fine. After you install, get the needed updates, and
install the things you really need, make a disk image
of your installed OS and save it. I usually save it on a
logical partition but making one to CD in probably
better but both are best of all. Windows 98SE usually
fits on just one floppy if it's lean. It can be put back from
the hard drive the fastest but if you have it on CD you
can reformat and get rid of everything first and then put
it back clean.

i might actually do that NT4 only uses like 177MB hdd all i need to do now is get IE6 so i can go to windows update and i'll be done...
although i will have to hunt down my copy of drive image
i tried with ie4 and it wouldnt work and after apache and a couple of other things its about 400MB form what i can remeber Drive image can get 1GB of hdd on a cd
Yeah, as an estimate it's pretty safe to say you can put
about 1 gig on a CD. If I can help I can be contacted

It's not too dependable so if you don't hear back try, try
again. It won't go in my profile right now.

My desktop is a different story though.
I end up reinstalling Windows every 2 months becuase I end up fucking it over. I just pop in my magic CD, bootup with NTFS DOS, copy files over to
i keep changin it from 2k to NT
2k has compatability but NT is waay faster....
are you serious? wow..I'd just find a good windows and stick with it.
at the moment im putting NT4 back on it...
them both on and boot to whichever you need at the

With Service Pack 6a installed, your install is going to be about 250MB
about 1 gig on a CD. If I can help I can be contacted
