Problem with Windows ME
I have a computer in that started out with not being able to shut down - nothing would happen, and when clicking on things in control panel - again nothing would happen. There were some other problems but these stand out. I downloaded NAV and it ran in DOS mode and found W32/Protoride.worm and W32/Qaz.worm.gen, but could not do anything about them. After rebooting the only thing I found that would work was "Folder options" in Control panel. Everytime I click on something it says that it can not find the path to that file. Even when I go to the folder where the .exe file is and click on it, I get the same message. For example going to c:\windows and click on freecell.exe the same message comes up. I can not load or run NAV or anything else. One message I got at sometime in all of this was - when running explorer - popup - Vet Resident Protection Version 10.59.2.0. C:\windows\notepad.exe is Win32.Qaz.worm. Not cleared. What suggestions do you have? Thanks David Harmon 909-359-5188 |
