worm/virus help !
4 Answers
hi peeps.
my bro`s computer is poorly. there was a worm doing the rounds a couple of years ago.
it was the one that gave you a window with a countdown timer. i think everyone had it at some time or other.
what i need to know is,
1. how do i stop the countdown.
2. does anyone know of a site that can give us some advice ?
the symptoms are.... sometimes the computer will start, but very little works.. or, he gets a window asking for a boot up disc. he has no back up discs because the system was a self build that he purchased from a friend...
he has been using McAfee security, but it must have got past it...
any and all help needed and apreciated.
thanks in advance.
