Been trying for the last week to try and remove a virus, mal-ware, ad-ware, etc.. or whatever the heck it is from my desktop. When I open up browser and seach for anything it brings up related search items but when I click on any of them it goes to a completely different website, usually some kind of shopping site. it happens on all search engines and I even tried different browsers but same thing. also when I shut it down it gives me the dreaded "Blue screen of death" sometimes the blue screen says Internal_Power_Error and other times it does not. in the process of wiping clean my hard drive then I will reinstall everything again. Just needed to vent alittle. P.S. Once it is up and running again I will continue with adding ColecoVision games again. P.S.S. The above is also happening in safe mode, just plain weird! just want to get back to adding games to the database. |

Nothing like a clean install though. Just make sure you save your important files! |

thanks Matt for the link I checked it out and have it running on my laptop. it states that it is automatic on windows vista, do you know if it is automatic on windows 7? that is what im installing on my desktop. @scott ya usually I like to do that every couple of years anyways, cuz ya I like to start fresh every now and then. |
