Its good to know the name of the virus at least. Crazy Russians!! we try :fawk: |
Yea viruses suck so bad... ubuntu is good for surfing and youtube, thats how I ended up fixing the antivirus 2009 that I had, just reinstalled windows and have it dual boot and just used ubuntu for surfing and windows for megatune since I cant and dont wanna learn megatunix

See, I'm such a computer n00b, I didn't know you can do that.

i had to play a little bit with my desktop to get everything working perfectly, but i did an in-windows install on the laptop and that worked flawlessly.
if you're curious all you really need is 8 gigs free for an in windows install and you can give it a try. if you don't like it you can go back in through windows and uninstall ubuntu like any other application. it's all much more user friendly than it was even 5 years ago. they have a pretty kickass help forum too. |
I just got an Asus eeepc 900ha yesterday and within hours I had somehow gotten a virus which redirected all my google searches and wouldn't allow me to open an virus scanners...
Luckily Asus knows how dumb I am and pre-installed a recovery partition on the HD. All I had to do was press f9 when booting and it reformatted the drive and reinstalled windows. Good as new. I feel for you. Whatever i got was a bitch. |
