REboot into safe mode with networking support if you have Wireless

Ad Aware, Spybot S&D, then housecall.

Just did a quick search. Sounds like LSP.

Then follow the top link for the rest of it all.

If you can get hijack this and post the log, can try and help you out with what you need to remove.

yeah now I'm screwed. it won't even let me connect to the internet. I have a wireless 3 modem. and the message up coming when I restart the computer says

the TCP/IP network transport is not installed

what do do from here

[Brett Kay]

So it won't let you connect in safe mode. Or in normal mode?
Its not a brick yet, and it should be easy to get it fix, once we get over these hurdles.

Might have to wait for David to wake up.

If you can still boot up normally, and it loads. Try the ctrl alt del, and use the task manager to see if anything is using a lot of resources in the processes tab. Some viruses aren't that smart, and list themselve. If you can close the process good. If not, but you know it is shenaniganning your computer, you can attempt to delete the strings associated with regedit - NB only if you feel confident.

If not call one of the butlers to help nerd the computer a little. Don't listen to Nathan saying if this was an apple it would never have happened. .

I knew it would only be a matter of time before Dakota got a virus.
Head down to the chemist sir, they have creams now!

if your pc can still boot... Boot up in "Safe mode" As you see the drivers load in console hit F2.... then wait a few seconds... then login.... Once booted Go to start/run and type "msconfig" with out the quotes.... go to the startup tab.... And shut everything down.... then reboot normally and run your scanner.... Let me know what goes on!
