as i cant download nod32 or avg as i have a bug on my pc and my virus programs cant see it. :giveup

it has limited the use of my internet and operating system :mad: and keeps throwing up random popups and has now disabled my start menu bar

If a bug is limiting your internet use and antivirus programs won't catch it, it's usually a tracking cookie. If you delete all the cookies it will quite often cure the problem.

... I think your host file has been hijacked. Check the entries there

I can also recomment Antivir or avast or try an online virus scanner like trendmicro offers

The answer
 

Here is the answer.

had a little luck
 

managed to have some sucsess . got full functionality of my start menu & pc but still get a few random popups when net is running and a sound that sounds like a machine gun. on startup.

Sounds like you have spyware rather than a virus. try spybot and adaware (You usually need both to get everything).

Both are free.

The Answer
 

Yes. If only one of them thingies actually stay switched on when you need them...

Drugs
 

I think that guy has had his brain fried from too many 'party' drugs.

Here's how the Brits do it.

I've found it!
 

This is the answer to your virus problems. :thup2:

AVG Free 8.0 - Download and install it. Then go to safe mode and run it.

If that doesnt kill all the spyware, then go For Spybot Search and Destroy - Again, install, update, and scan. This works well in normal or safe mode.

Lastly, if all hell has broken loose, and your getting nowhere fast, go for Hijack This. Probably a last resort, but run this tool will stop everything from loading at startup. Once run, restart into safe mode/recovery and restore to about a week before you think it started acting up. Maybe more. Restore to that point.

And lastly, hire a professional if your not comfortable waging a small war with your PC.

Good luck,
