wel a few days ago i was on my laptop a few days ago and it started acting funny and ran sluggish >.> so i restarted it and when it shut down it played a really slowed down version of the logout sound then on the loading thing it ran really slow as well and of course it played a slow version of the startup sound..... i reinstalled windows in hope to remove wat ever was on there to make it run like that and i got it back up now but it returned without me even going any where on the internet >.< i asked my net tech. at school and he said to find a wiping program to completely wipe its drives. he also tried to give me a floppy for of the program but the problem is i dont have a floppy drive is there any cd programs that would wipe my drive or do i have to live with this crappy virus/worm that i have caught >>>...<<<

btw if u need to know my specs are

Processor AMD Sempron ????+ 1.8Ghz (i cant find the # because the comp wont start up and run or at least i dont have the paitiance to do so)
RAM 512Mb
Connection Speed Cable with T/7 i think >.< more or less its still cable
Wireless and Wired
Video ATI Radeon 1100 128Mb Shared

Mmm the whipe its driver didn't made any sense. But if the problem persist even after reinstalling windows than the virus must be on a other partition or some hardware is broke that cause it. Eitherway if you want to completely erase your harddisk, just get Partition Magic or Use the Windows Install Cd to format the partitions.

I would suggest using Partition magic to format the whole harddisk. And than put new partitions and windows on it.

i reinstalled windows but the only way to completely destroy the virus is to over write everything i want to make it as clean as the day it was put into the comp >.<

Than you will have to format the whole harddisk. So every partition that is on the disk.

So just get partition magic and format all partition and install windows again on one of them. If the problem still persist it's either something in your hardware or a Virus which screwed the bios up. Though i only heard of them.. I don't even know for sure if those exist.

Eitherway sounds like a really nasty virus you caught. Good luck with removing it.

ok final resolution i called the company and talk to a tech specialist... from what he said a secter or spindle in the drive quit functioning cause the company put the most cost efficient drives in their machines........... well after a moment of talking with him he said that since i was not at fault he could hook me up with another drive in replacement for that 1 woohoo and i sweet talked the woman into giving me a $170 retail drive with 160Gigs for a cheap $30 Retail with 60Gigs quite a fair trade dont u think XXDD
