[seasemoid]

Hi,
i was wondering if any of you have ever had this problem, im not sure if its a virus or what.

I logon to my user and it stays at the message "Loading personal settings" or whatever. Then on the odd time it does logon everythign is very slow and some things dont work. i cant start any programs.

i know this isnt just my ram or anything like that because my fathers computer downstairs seems to be infected with the same virus or whatever and hes on a network whith me.
ive scanned and rescanned my system and nothign shows up.

please help! i can only run my computer in safe mode

thank you

can you get online at all? If so, do the steps below:

1. Disable System Restore (right-click on "My Computer", Properties, System Restore, check Turn off System Restore).

2. Enable viewing of all files/folders (open "My Computer", Tools, Folder Options, View, click "View hidden folders and files" and uncheck "Hide extensions for known file types").

3. Update your Anti-virus program and run a full scan. If you don't have one or your subscription is out of date, then run BOTH online scans below. If you can run a scan with your updated Anti-virus program, then just run ONE of the online scans below.

4. Download CWShredder, VX2finder, Kill2me, and run them. Let them fix what they find. See these links for download:

5. Now, download Ad-Aware SE, and SpyBot, (both are free, see links below) install them and update them seperately. Then run a FULL system scan with Ad-Aware, (not the Smart Scan), and check all the items it finds/let it remove them. Run SpyBot and scan, let it remove what it finds. REBOOT your machine and run them again, TAKE NOTE of what items still remain that they couldn't get ride of! Some items will be taken off from a 2nd scan and some items they will NOT be able to remove at all, (Note what those items are).

If you can only get online from another computer, substitute step 3 with downloading and installing AVG antivirus, (download here ) and download the upate file to update it after it's installed.

Ive figured out that it is not caused by a virus but when i log on in normal mode(not safe mode) my cpu usage is 100% and its due to a program wich i cant find. i cant even END TASK in task manager because its so slow.

Anyone had that problem?!??!?!
