goodluck. |
I went to that link and got it to do both, I assume both at once. Everything else froze, sort of. I let it take well over an hour to scan, by this time it seemed to be the only thing working, but as soon as it finished the scan, id did not proceed to the summary or the recover section. I noticed it had spotted three infections.
When it froze, and I could not get at the start bar, I tried a hard shut down. When I booted back up, it seemed to take longer to boot up, and during the longish process where it starts putting the program icons in the sys tray, it just shut down with a major systems crash.
It then rebooted to the wall paper and not even a start bar. I used Task manager to restart, prayed heavily apollogised to God about every thing I may have done wrong, pleaded for my computer etc.
(I find myself emotionaly effected just typing this).
It all seemed to boot up, Norton was disabled, but I waited until everything was up before doing enable of Norton. The splash screen came up about the serious crash, I chose not to send the info to microsoft.
As I had to go to work, and was over due leaving the house, I got it to shut down conventionally, (Start Shutdown - confirm shut down)
On shutting down a program either an error message appeared that HHBDAZ.exe or HBBDAZE.exe was trying to innitiate during shut down. (does anyone recognise those) It shut down and I ran/ walked fast into work.
I have been so careful in the past, I slipped up because an MSN contact kept playing these winks, and I tried to get one from a site they reccomended. I saw not sysmptons prior to this.
Coming to this site I was getting pop up messages
Winfix2005, made an appearence dose anyone know if this is a kosher program, it won't take know for an answer and resise the browser
I have been using IE, If I go to firefox and run TrendMicro again, will that just be wasting my time, since what ever it was seems to defeat all attempts to weed it out.
I would rather avoid the nuke option if possible, as I would need a full day for trying to save what ever I can, nuke it and rebuild, not to mention all the software tools I loose and the reinstallation of drivers for digital cameras, printers (two) web cam and of course my broadband modem.
