My Computer Is Infected With A Very Deadly Virus by Systrom(m): 10:11am On Sep 24, 2019 |
Please help me My system has been infected with a virus I think I got it when I was trying to download something online The virus has messed up my system and nothing works again Keyboard doesn’t work I bought external keyboard, it worked for a while, now the virus has corrupted the external keyboard and it doesn’t work again. If I click on a file or folder, it opens hundred times till the system screen is covered and the system hangs. If I wanna install a file, the virus doesn’t allow it. Hence installing a virus remover is very difficult I have scanned the system endless times with the exiting antivirus that was on the system before and it detects nothing, meaning the virus has a strong persistence I can’t connect to the internet, connecting to the internet has been disabled. Mouse doesn’t work again too, I bought external If I try to open softwares, it crashes and doesn’t open Many other things I cannot remember My friend are saying it may not be a virus, that maybe my system is old and I need a change. But what can cause a system to have all these faults at once if not a virus. Please help 3 Likes |

Your computer don get HIV Lols On a more serious note, i think your best option is to just format the system directly and install a new fresh Os. You should be more concerned about the hardware of your PC, because this is the first time i am seeing a virus disabling a computer hardware. 95 Likes 2 Shares |

banjicom:Thats what I’m thinking too. But I’ve got two questions 1. What will happen to my files - they are important to me 2. What if the hardware is damaged already? And after installing the new OS, the issue persists 3. How can I even install a new OS when everything on the system is fluctuating i.e Keyboard doesn’t work |

Systrom: 1. You don't have to do it yourself, tell the engineer or the person doing the formatting to partition your hard disk into a smaller size depending on how big the files you want to backup. In doing so it won't affect any of your files only your installed apps will be deleted. 2 . Reboot your system, and press f9 to boot into safe mode and see if your keyboard and mouse will work without any issues. If it work, than all you need is a fresh window installation, if it doesn't work let me know. 3. It is very simple, i can even give u instructions on hownto do it wen you are ready.

The situation of the system as the OP explained wont allow the technician partition the hard disk let alone copying files to the partiton. Any technician can install a fresh OS for you, but only few can actually save your files if what you explained about the system is actually true. 4 Likes |

that is why you need anti-virus. men can buy Cond and spend money on drinks but cannot but protection for their system. pull out the battery immediately before they eat up your motherboard. buy an anti-virus or seek the help of a professional. you may end up losing the entire thing if it gets to your motherboard |

Reboot your computer to safe mode. Then install an antivirus like bitdefender or Kaspersky with latest updates, then run it and scan. If it's a virus problem, you will know from here. Or run a USB or external HDD plug and play antivirus that will install and run when you plug it in. Another possibility is you could have corrupted files on your system. In this case, reload the OS and then select "repair" option. If these don't work, then you either reformat the system or visit a professional computer repair company to fix it 8 Likes 1 Share |

Try booting in safe mode, if it doesn't work Try restoring from a restore point, if it doesn't work Try and refresh your OS. If it doesn't work Format it. To save your file get an external HDD adapter connect your hardrive to it and copy only your documents/ pics and video. Do not copy software raw files not even the trusted ones. After which format it. 12 Likes 1 Share |

Systrom:1. Life evolves, you should too... any file(s) vital to you should be in the cloud too, not only on your pc 2. As smart as computer is, it's still dumb... every part can be replaced if its hardware problem and it could as well be troubleshot if its software 3. You don't necessarily need keyboard to install an OS, select booting option and press f2 to load from cd-rom 5 Likes |
