WHO IS JOHN GALT?
*Smashes seal skull*

Safe mode; possible virus.

So my computer has been complete shit for a long while now..but at least it's now working...anyways...one day my computer stopped working so I put it away (i.e. stored it somewhere), decided to bring it back out and power it on. You know, for shits and giggles? To my surprise it turned it but would freeze before completely loading...so one day I decided to run it in safe mode and that resulted in it (the computer) staying on for 30-35 mins (40 if I was lucky!). So I did something and now it stays on for as long as I please but I fear I may have gotten a virus (having no protection because of safe-mode), but I have no way of fixing/ridding it..what can I do to rid this (potentional) virus, if anything?

Why do you think you have a virus?

If you know you have and you can't clean with with an anti-virus product: just save all your important data to another drive, reformat and install a nice clean copy of your OS.

download avg, or avast. A virus isn't the worst thing ever. If you must clear the mbr and start from scratch.

I don't see why you can't get an antivirus scanner installed?

If you have a boot sector virus reformatting won't work.

wxyz.sys is a virus. Try giving this program a try, it seemed to have fixed other people who got this virus as well:

Thank you for the link Candy, (un)fortunately it detected two files and then my computer froze. So I'm not sure what I will be doing to resolve this problem. Hmph.

Did you try running it in safe mode? Also make sure that link is the latest version, read the newest version is the best.

If that doesn't work check this site out:

My computer only runs in safe-mode I'm sure it was. Lol. It just won't finish the scan of my files without freezing...now instead of having 2,000 TMP files, it has created another 1,500. Man oh man. I may just be royally fucked.

I do not see any file called 'posxxx.tmp'. I ran VundoFix, it found 2 problematic files but froze shortly thereafter. Having to run your computer in safe-mode sucks. I got my computer to stay on while running it normally but it was unbelievably slow. It took ages just to load my desktop.

*smacks head*

You have over 2000 files called posxxx.tmp in the root of your C: drive... the xxx means any characters so it refers to pos1A7.tmp, for example. But you said you can't delete them anyway so it's irrelevant.

Use some sort of LiveCD with av support, this way you'll won't have to worry about the virus freezing the pc up in windows.

What he said. It sounds so fucked you will never be able to clean it while the base OS is running. Since you don't want to format, it seems the only decent choice you have.

:edit:

Also what caused it to die in the firstplace and go into hiding? If that's not really fixed why fuck about with all this AV in safe mode - what's the best that's going to happen, you get a working PC but only in safe mode!?
