Hello.
My parents got a new computer. it had windows 8 first, but they hated it so they got someone to reformat and put windows 7 on it. After a bit of use, it has contracted a few viruses. All I know for now is that internet explorer is slow and probably has toolbars. Google chrome has stopped working (they prefer chrome). And the computer itself is pretty much unusable. I don't know anything else yet, but I got my father to run DDS and aswMBR on it and send me the logs.
I don't have the computer with me, but I'll be picking up the computer on the 4th or so. I was hoping that until then the logs would be helpful to look at.
I can describe any problems I see further once I get the computer in front of me.
I don't really know what thye did to get it, but knowing my parents, a bad toolbar was probably involved.
Once I get it over here, I'd have find a way to post logs onto this forum. in that regard:
please let me know if burning the logfiles onto a CD to send to my good computer might spread the viruses.
or if plugging a lan cable from the bad computer into the router could contaminate my computer or router
or any other methods of transmission I should worry about.
My apologies about the log files. My father copied the text into an email as one big go. I don't know where one file ends and another begins, so i'm attaching it in one big thing. I also don't know if he has all three files there. let me know if I have more to do before we start.11246
the logfiles should be in the attached rtf, all as one big thing.
