Computer Problem, ..help? :( Options

[Jen]

I am getting so frustrated with my computer! Here's the problem:

Everytime I try to open something, my computer freezes. Everytime I try to save something, my computer freezes. Like, for example. If I were to go and upload a picture on photobucket, when I go to 'browse' it will freeze. The only time my computer will not freeze is if I were to open a file that is located on my desktop.

I can't save files for school. I can't open files for school. I am getting pissed off. So if anyone has any idea of wtf is wrong, please please please let me know.

Jen, since I am the only one on here that knows about you and your computer problems as this is about the 234234th time you've had problems ever since I met you 3yrs ago, your best bet is to just save files and reformat. Your computer needs to be replaced as it's not even funny anymore.

Also, you are a cable user. Broadband+ users are easy targets for viruses as they have steady connections to the internet and I wouldn't doubt that you got some adware that downloaded a dropper onto your computer. (dropper is a virus that drops other virus onto your computer and re-sends them out)

As for "Hanyo", not every virus is written to be malicious nor are they written to alter registry settings. Honestly, if you reformat after each time you find a virus then I feel sorry for you. Do you realize that there are some viruses that can attach themselves to things such as the hard drive? Even after reformatting it still would exist. Yes reformatting would usually take care of the most common virus found but, highly malicious virus doesn't do the common tasks and your best bet is to research the virus and find proper ways to dispose of it.
