Eric Posted April 2, 2011 Posted April 2, 2011 "Windows is detecting a HD error scanning now." Keeping this short and sweet since I can only use my phone at this time... Its definitely a rogue, not sure how I got it.. symptoms: ALL FILES/FOLDERS in computer seem to be wiped (while the virus is running) only program icons remain on desktop Before it got that bad I stated a malware scan, it detected and removed 1 rogue and suggested a reboot, so I clicked yes. It rebooted and the fans inside sounded like they were Going to explode, started up to a black screen with that fake windows repair scanner running.. Immediately unplugged my computer Suggestions / help? -Sent From My DROID X
Eric Posted April 2, 2011 Author Posted April 2, 2011 Not a fucking clue, I was botting my main and on foe-rums and fb, just stood up to turn on my Xbox and grab a pop and saw the flashing window.. Edit: I don't click sketchy links or anything.. -Sent From My DROID X

Eric Posted April 2, 2011 Author Posted April 2, 2011 So I just downloaded and ran rkill then did a malware scan, removed 2 Trojans and a rouge. Started it back up and still the same blackscreen problem... any suggestions?
Spin Posted April 2, 2011 Posted April 2, 2011 System restore or bring it to the nerds at a tech store and pay money for them to get rid of it.

Octavarium Posted April 2, 2011 Posted April 2, 2011 reinstall your operating system completely. system restore does fuck all. All the programs that may be hazardous to your computer won't be uninstalled and if they are the istaller files themselves won't be deleted so it will keep coming back. I installed linux and then formatted my MSDOS partition as I had an extremey beautiful virus lodged in there. It basicly meant that even if I installed windows it would come back. So we wiped it with linux and then set up a seperate partition for linux and windows. Make sure you do it from boot up disc though. That's how i fixed my laptop and it's running fine now. This was ofcourse my last resort but it does seem you've tried all the other suggestions. And don't take it to a shop because they will do the exact same thing anyway. As for whatever Haduken posted, you may as well try it and should it not work then reinstall.
HADUKEN Posted April 2, 2011 Posted April 2, 2011 If that link doesn't work, use one of the antiviruses tested and proven to rape rogues here it's a basic step by step guide to raping them also, all the Antivurses are listed in the first step.
Eric Posted April 2, 2011 Author Posted April 2, 2011 Ok, well I'm gonna try looking at it on my computer right now, still on my phone.. -Sent From My DROID X

You are thinking of the point in time restores.
