Ok I am using a windows '98 from way back in 98 when they were cool, lol.

But I think I finally got a virus after all of these long years of fateful workingness.

Something is constantly writing to my C: drive. I cannot defrag and I cannot check for errors. Now my soundcard is fecking up and it only plays movie sounds. No windows errors, or winamp or real player when it is just an audio file. But only mpg/mpeg/avi/etc.


When I ctrl alt delete it only shows Explorar as running.


I am going to kill myself if I cant listen to Jim Croce in the next 3 days.

As a matter of fact... *Slits his throat on an atom bomb*

Is it connected to the Internet?

First thing I'd check is for spyware.
Download & install Adaware and Spybot and run them.
Then restart into safe-mode and run them both again.

Definitely sounds like some sort of spyware, or possibly a virus, then.

Run the two pieces of software linked above and see if they help.

Also, if it is a virus, you might want to check any other computers you have are not infected - even if they're not acting oddly, it might be a 'time-bomb' style virus, so doing an anti-virus scan now would be a good idea.
If you don't have any anti-virus, then AVG is a good free option.

Ok, first go shout at your idiot ISP.

Second, go download it from here:
http://www.download.com/3000-2144-10045910...page&tag=button

And if that still doesn't work, let me know and I'll host it.

Yeah, Norton is useless really. AVG is smaller and less resource-hungry.

No, it's good when you don't get anything - it means your machine is probably clean.

You should run it alongside SpyBot though, because they both find things the other one doesn't.
