Hello im having some really unusual problems with my computer at the moment and its causes lots of frustration. when i boot up the comp it starts loading the programs like msn, steam, ati, mcafee which is fine until it starts randomly clicking on things, opening up search option window in startup 52 times so that theres 52 search windows, it then dusnt let me exit them for ages, i cant even use control alt delete as it dusnt work, although i got task manager from run commamd taskmgr but then wasnt sure which process's to stop incase i ruined my computer, im not sure if this is some sort of virus or trojan or hardware problems any ideas would be greatly appreciated

ah ok, ill give it a try but trying to do something on the computer is hard because of it randomly clicking on things etc
 
thanks pastmuncher, thats what i was looking for, i think it will need to be hijackthis beacue iv ran most of those progrmas and still having problemsas
 
well i ran hijack this and pasted the txt in and analysed it, only 2 entries came up with a red cross, i fixed them and ran hijack again, theres no red crosses or any startups that look dodgy but im still having this problem, any ideas?
 
i see, well iv ran all of the programs reccommended and i still have this problem, i thougth it might have been a dodgy keyboard for a while but i ran a check on that and updated the driver and it appears fine, the only thing i can think of is a reinstall of windows and wipe the hard drives, but iv never backed up my hard drive and i dont want to loose loads of stuff i need :(
 
iv tried so many of these system scans that i dont think they can solve the problem, some proccess's can be hiddin from the system and so probably will never be able to be deleted, i think ill just need to wipe the hard drive, will this erase the virus/trojan? another thing is i have 2 drives so could i put all my important data on the slave drive and then discconnect it, then wipe the hard drive with all the programs and windows stuff on it, then after i reinstall windows i can reconnect the hard drive with all my important data on it and acceess it, or will this not work?
 
iv tried all these programs
mcafee scan
spybot search and destroy
avast scan
avg
a squared
and soon kasperspy

when they run, usually they dont find any virus's just the odd cookie, but sometimes i cant get a full system scan off all harddrives because it crashes after half way through because of the stupid virus/trojan thing opening programs and clicking on random stuff, i left it to scan once and came back with 34 search windows, 14 avast programs and 57 windows explorers running :eek:
 
i think a re install of windows is best option, however i just bought a new harddrive, if i put all the data i need on this drive, then dissconnect it, re install windows then reconnect it will this work? the new hard drive only has music, video and pictures on it, s oi cant see them having amy virus's
 
well thanks for the info lads, i gave up trying to sort it and just reinstalled windows, but guess what, its bloody still there, i thought after a windows install it would wipe everything from my hd, but its kept a lot of stuff, matlab7, vhdl, loads of other stuff, how can i get my hard drive totaly wiped and start alll over again? ill try this smitfraud in the mean time to see if it works
 
smitfraud hasnt worked :( oh well, need to wipe the hd, just not sure how to totaly wipe the full hard drive so its just a partion again
 
lol your tempting me to get vista now, if i were to get vista i would get ultimate 64bit however im not sure if my gigabyte 965p ds4 has 64bit, i think it does tho so should be ok
 
just downloaded this program called diskdeleterpro, should erase my harddrive completly, hopefully this will fix the bug, if it dosnt i think i need a new keyboard
