Im in at the deep end here. A long time ago a virus infected some files for the internet explorer. Once i figured that IE wasnt going to run propperly i installed mozilla firefox to use instead. After i did this my brother thought it be a good idea to unistall IE and at the time i didnt think it'd be bad either. Through extensive use of download programs somehow weve managed to get alot of viruses on the computer. Most of them have been rid of yet one i cant seem to... the symptoms
1.The sound is disabled in all games, sound options are disabled in winamp etc.
2.when i do ctlr+alt+delete under the processes tab, it has the processes yet no identification from user name, just left blank, and the virus name doesnt apper in the processes list.
3.Also under ctrl+alt+delete in the user tab there seems to be no usersd running
4.The desktop changes from the windows xp layout and seems to change to that of windows 95 format, with all grey boxes and block titles etc
The only sure fire way i could think of getting rid of the problem/virus was going on trend micro housecalls. The only problem, you cant run a test if you dont have IE on the computer. I have it on disk but its on a broadband installation disk and theres no way to get at it without re-installing broadband which i really really cant do!!!! Ive searched over the internet, you can only get the updates for IE (as it figures you should already have it installed) and so i have no way of getting IE back on the computer.
Has ANYONE got a clue, or can help!!!???
