Can I borrow your sledgehammer?

I want to smash my PC

Since I have internet, it's been terrible.

I have a virus in a dll file that doesn't exist. :eek: C:\windows\system32\logpk.dll

When I try to delete it manually (McAfee can't delete it), it's just not there. I tried to show hidden items, no worky.

I searched the internet and found that it can be a file that's PLACED there by a virus. They reccomended scanning in safe mode. That's what I did, but I couldn't find any virusses.

Another problem I have is that my PC won't run any CDs anymore..... at first it recognises the CD, when I start the game (WC3, SC), it doesn't respond or can't find the CD.

It's also too slow. But there's around 93 system memory available.

The last problem is that internet explorer ain't working. I've been using firefox, but for my webmail I prefer explorer (FF is all messed up there, doesn't open mail in new windows...)

I'm ready for your hammer now.

Reformat it. That might be your best bet.

I'm using a legal version of XP, what about the key-code that I already used once?? Or does the XP CD have a special feature where it recycles it?
I don't have the XP CD here btw.

Umm is it XP pro? XP home you can use the key on your PC about 3 times. XP pro it doesnt really matter how many times you use the key.

If the key's been used 3 times, just call MS and tell them you need to install it again because of a virus.

1- my friend, its time you stop using kazaa. i told you before you get viruses off that network. dont install that pos anymore!

2- it doesnt matter if its xp home or xp pro. you can install it as many times as you need. when i used Xp Home on my other computer, i reformated it at least 5 to 8 times. i have Pro now and same deal. i reformat all the time. not for viruses or anything. just cuz i like a clean start sometimes.
