Flashermac Posted December 1, 2014 Report Share Posted December 1, 2014 I bought my computer with Windows 7 Ultimate on it. No problems until lately, when something seems to have messed it up. If I try a deep scan with System Mechanics or Malawarebytes, the PC crashes. Tried a deep scan with AV and same thing. Trend Micro on line says I have no viruses, as does Systems Mechanic on an ordinary scan. Any ideas. Of course, since I bought my PC here, I don't have a Windows disk to reload. In fact, where can one even find a real windows disk here in the land of piracy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coss Posted December 1, 2014 Report Share Posted December 1, 2014 Flash, like my Dad, you always seem to have problems with Windows, so do I, when I am forced to use it for some piece of software or file that doesn't wanna play nice with the rest of the world. Please get a Mac The learning curve is approximately the same amount of effort, as the resolution to one of the Windows crises you seem to suffer regularly.

Specialist Posted December 1, 2014 Report Share Posted December 1, 2014 Have you tried rebooting into Safe Mode with Networking, updating MalwareBytes, then running the deep scan from there? What you describe could be any of a number of things. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waerth Posted December 2, 2014 Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 Fuck MAC ..... for every fart you want to do you have to donate more money. It is worse then windows you pay much much more and it has the same faults. If you try something else take Ubuntu or another linux system. I figure that Flashes windows crises are probably because he uses a fake windows which means he cannot get all the updates which means malware has free play on his computer. Also win ultimate is overkill. Win Home Basic is more than enough. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cavanami Posted December 2, 2014 Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 I have *** never *** updated my Win XP, except for the service packs! Zero "security" updates, just, plain never...and guess what, it runs OK!! I update the AVG (free) antivirus and Malwarebytes (free) when I want to do a malware scan. ...and this is with a "special" Win XP (Pan Tip) from several years ago (10 years?). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 2, 2014 Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 Could you not do a system restore to an earlier date when the pc was working correctly. OR Try downloading Ultimate 7 which is free, this will sort out most problems with one click. I have found this to work where others have failed. http://www.iobit.com...e-antivirus.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khunsanuk Posted December 2, 2014 Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 Hi, "I have *** never *** updated my Win XP, except for the service packs! Zero "security" updates, just, plain never...and guess what, it runs OK!!" You do realize that those service packs include all the security patches that came before, right?
