Hello,
Recently I was infected by the VirusResponse spyware and messed my computer up. I used the hijack program and ad-aware to remove the files from the main hardrive.. Only now, I am no longer able to access the internet without entering safemode. My applications won't even start-up normally. The computer tells me that I am connected to the network, but if I tell it to repair the connection or something, it freezes. If I tell it to repair in safemode, it works fine. Obviously something got corrupted and deleted or there's something else at work.
I removed the Norton anti-virus crap cuz it kept creating a popup that slowed my computer down and prevented me from running anything.
I can't format the computer because I don't have the XP instillation disk (I bought the computer off of somebody without it) I have to figure out how to clean this off and maintain it.
Oh, and System Restore doesn't work either, regardless of what date I choose.
Any ideas?
Please help!!
