He guys,
I'm new and a real beginner when it goes about PC stuff, but I got a PC 2 months ago and now it's full of viruses. Need some professionals that can tell me how to get these viruses off my PC, because of that I've already had over 5 bluescreens and that ennoys really when you want to play games like Warrock or others. Can you help me?(maybe it'll be very hard, because I've found over 700 viruses like Trojans, Worms and others on my PC and no matter which antivirus programme I use the viruses still not leave)
PS:I'm not so bad at writing or reading English, but it's not my first language so excuse if I don't understand you at the first time:-)

Ok wow. First things first unplug your system. Then calmly remove the hard drive and then apply hammer. Purchase new hard drive and insert.
ok well look into using live usb booting. You can(and what Id do) is boot into a safe live OS instead of the one on the hard drive. Then you can run your antivirals on the actual harddrive and thus sweep it clean without it even running which totally messes with many viral's anti-anti-software techniques :) The problem is nowadays AVs are running behind the capability of polymorphic virals so it may not be entirely effective even then. Also that number and the speed of damage is suspicious, someone may specifically be targetting you and just mass downloading stuff to wreck havok. Good luck and worst comes to worst contact a local IT shop that preforms viral removals. They often have more specific knowledge on how to do so effectively and inform you in laymens terms how to avoid this happening again.

What is your OS ?
In Windows I would recommand to go into the Windows Safe Mode and delete then every program from the Start ->All Programs ->Autorun folder. http://www.computerhope.com/is…..chsafe.htm .
Also I would scan your background processes with hijackthis so u know then what is an virus and may delete this process then.

I really don't know what you are talking about, guys!
What is OS?
In Autostart it doesn't show the viral processes and I don't want to delete any files if I don't know exactly what problems me PC could have after it. I tried so much antivirus programmes, but in the end I'm not clean.
Give me links. Maybe it'll help!
Thanks!

OS=Operating System. Most likely windows as pretty much no other OS really gets virals.
Also, if you need to delete a file to remove a virus and it fucks up your PC well…then its going to be fucked anyways. Game Over sort of deal. Honestly I would just go to a friends house or whatever and download Ubuntu to a cd while following their step by step guide and just install that onto your PC and basically throw out windows. Its all around better and Ubuntu is known for being the friendliest linux OS for the avg person a.k.a window users who dont know much about computers. Unless of course you have some reason why you ABSOLUTELY must use windows.

He guys,
thanks for the links, but I've already tried Spyware Doctor out and it also found just a very little bit of all viruses, but I've decided to use my first backup(no, it's not on CD or disket) to bring my PC to status quo.
Actually I try to do this, but now it doesn't show me the USB stick where I put the backup to(Yeah, I´m very frustrated).
Two hours ago I was ready to use the backup(it might be sound strange, but two hours ago the USB stick was working!), but even if I clicked on it twice it hasn't done anything.
And when I click right to make it run it also did nothing.
I know that some of you, guys, are maybe annoyed because of my disability to make my PC run(I'd be angry with me, too), but please, keep cool, and then answer my silly posts as good as you could.
Hope that you post more useful stuff(that's not ironic)!

Well, the backup should work unless one of the virals wormed its way into the MBR of the USB stick. I.e f-ed it up. Or you backed it up wrong.

Ive heard Avast! sucks. Frankly most AVs suck, and pron isnt the only thing that gives you virals so you really shouldnt assume so. He just needs to be more careful.

pron=porn sites full of sexual images and videos, notorious for having virals :) Also there are few such things as websites that "obviously contain viruses".
Avast! is just another anti-viral software.
the MBR is the Master Boot Record(actually im not sure about the R in the acronym, I THINK its Record) is the region in a device (in this case a usb stick) that is the first part read and loaded by a computer, often to establish a filesytem so you can save files on it. However just about any program can be loaded into the MBR including viruses.
Its also possible that one of the viruses has messed with the program used to load the backup.
Sorry but at this point I think a reinstall is the best option, sort of a beyond repair sort of deal. If you cant reinstall then you can either trash the comp or put linux on it.

Thanks for your informations!
I decided to reinstall, but how can I do this without an installation disc.(except there's no other way I want to keep win7 if it's possible). I asked some of my mates if they know somebody who can do this for me, but they say it'll take much time to reinstall and without the installation disc(for win7) it could be very hard.
Can you tell me how to reinstall? Or do you know links where descriptions of reinstalling are?
If it's really not possible to reinstall, because I haven't a disc for, I install linux(    ).
But I hope you have another plans for me( )

I do not know if that is possible. Google may u find an tut.
If not. U can reset the bootloader without the Win CD. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v…..6I6xv8BNoc
That I think should patch the problem with the virus which load when the pc is booting.
2) Remove everything form msconfing->Systemstart which is not
necessary. Google for infos which u can remove….
Hope that helps

tell your "mate's friend" that he could/should use a USB to install Windows 7
http://www.intowindows.com/how…..dusb-tool/
thats the simplest way i know how to. but seriously, to avoid this problem, get a better AntiViral program.
Ad-Aware
Spybot S&D
HijackThis
there are but-loads to choose from.
what do you guys think about Avast! AV, there is a free home edition all you have to do is sign up you email and they give you a working product key for a year. i have been using it on my Desktop and it works great.
