CDLehner Posted May 30, 2011 ID:434604 Share Posted May 30, 2011 Is nothing sacred? I was looking at pictures of tile! Not porn...tile for my wife and I to re-do our kitchen; and I got zapped.Never been this bad off. Can't escape redirects from Guest account, nor safe mode. I'm on my wife's Mac, asking for help.This started off my saying "hard drive error, please reboot" and now appears to be XP Recovery whatever. No answers.Help? Thanks,CD Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDLehner Posted May 30, 2011 Author ID:434730 Share Posted May 30, 2011 OK...I was able to do an mbytes quick scan, found 1 object and removed it (I have the log if anyone needs me to post it). I then installed and ran avira, seemingly without any issues.Still not sure I'm completely clean, and like another poster...it appears many of my files have been moved to another directory. I'm tempted to follow posted instructions for his issue, as mine is similar, but I know that's a no-no here; each case is supposed to be handled individually.So I'm waiting further recovery instructions.Thanks,CD Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDLehner Posted May 30, 2011 Author ID:434752 Share Posted May 30, 2011 Wow...this thing is killing me! Ran Avira...22 issues. Quarantined what it could.Lots of programs still not working; having to go ALL over the place and un-hide files that were set to hidden (or have just gone missing). And my IE settings all all screwed up and I keep getting redirects when I try to Google search for help.Man, this thing did a number on me!CD Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDLehner Posted May 30, 2011 Author ID:434832 Share Posted May 30, 2011 Still getting Google redirects...and I could have sworn I heard audio coming from my PC; like a commercial, even though NO application was up and working!CD Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDLehner Posted May 31, 2011 Author ID:434921 Share Posted May 31, 2011 I have to tell ya...I have never gotten one iota of help here! EVER! I guess because I don't follow all the many, many, many, many rules!I post in my thread...because I'm trying to help myself and update with what I've done. And that makes people think I'm being helped elsewhere? Give me a break.This forum is probably responsible for half of these things to begin with. You know what they say...it takes a thief to catch a thief.Thanks for NOTHING!CD Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff screen317 Posted June 1, 2011 Staff ID:435625 Share Posted June 1, 2011 There is an expression called "biting the hand that feeds you."In addition, I responded to your other topic three days ago.Topic closed. Thank you for the kind words. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
