Ok, so my mum's retarded friend has given me her PC yet again. This time: "Word isn't installed properly and I get blue screens".

So I'm sitting here pulling my hair out trying to figure out what's wrong with Word (running absolutely fine) and trying to recreate the blue screen, looking at error logs etc...

While I'm doing that I run Malwarebytes and it picks up 187 threats. I have a look at the log before pressing "Remove" and I notice there's a whole load of infected .dll files in the System32 folder. I think "hmm, dll files? that's weird these could be important" but for some silly reason I put my trust in Malwarebytes and I hit "Remove".

Cue rebooting to finish the removal process and a blue screen after POST saying "blah blah.dll is missing or corrupt." :mad:

Thing is, IT IS A NEW COMPUTER!! LOL! I built it for her out of some old components which were lying around, which was a MASSIVE ****ing mistake :mad:. One which I just will not make again.

She has kids my age so I thought they'll be alright with using it properly. But they're so retarded they've tried to open a god damn PDF in Word and set it as the default program for PDFs :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

I mean seriously? How many current 19 year olds would try to open a PDF in Word? and then complain Word "isn't installed properly".

Yeah the main components are old (cpu/mobo/gfx etc) but the case, HDD, ODD, were brand new.

And I had installed chrome and set it as the default browser, but they've defaulted back to IE...


It's Windows XP btw.
 
Dammit, I wish I hadn't ran malwarebytes now. I thought I'd be nice and throw in a bit of maintenance.

Just a whole load of more work for me to do now.
