If I didn't have BAD luck I'd have no luck at all...............

Well as in previous posts I got the video card problem solved, had to install really old drivers like 3 versions back (all the new ones have problems....crap)

In the mean time I got a freakin virus. it went in and killed my anti-virus and was trying to stop me from downloading any new antivirus software. Well I got some software downloaded and killed the son of a biscuit. I had to run threatfire and McAfee to get all of it. Thank heavens I didnt download what it tried to get me to do, I knew better.
But one of the things it does is change your restore points on your computer. Is their anyway how to restore my computer. And will I have to download drivers on it for things I've installed since I bought it. My computer works now it just changed things like by desktop theme and properties

Here info on what i got rid of

I have stayed away from ANY servers(Well UZA the only one I get on) til i get this problem solved, so I'm using my work computer...No COD2. Ive been dealing with this since 7/18

Looks like a little Malware to me... nothing too big, but your antivirus or firewall should have blocked it in the first place. Thats the kind of thing one would pick up visiting a spammy mainstream warez site running XP SP1 with IE6. Then things could become dangerous.

I am personally not a big fan of McAffe antivirus. I would never use it on my machine. Even a free one like Avast, or AVG would perform better and use less resources.

If you have a problem like that, and cant get your AV to work properly... go to Tend Micros site and do a free housecall scan. It will most likely remove whatever problem you might have.

I got it removed I dont know how to restore my system since Ive removed the virus, it changes your restore point so I cant go back. Confused

Thank goodness mcafee found it, I had CA av and it wiped it out. I tried to download AVG but the virus was stoping it, so now I will download AVG. Very Happy
