Yesterday i was on MSN talking to some friends when my favortie program came on the TV. I left my PC the way it was and went to watch TV. I came back an hour later to find that my pc had opened a new Instant Message window for every person who is on my list.
This supprised me as even if the person was offline it opened a window. My PC also decided to send all these people a program called "blaaag.exe". Some of my frieds accepted this file and then relised it was a virus so they dont like me much now.
This annoyed me alot. I went in to folder C:windows where this file was. To my attension i noticed that there were 17 files the same as this but with different names. Some of these has weird names such as "cheeseburger" and "hello_kitty".
In order to delte these i had to go into processes and close them all. I was starting to get a bit lost becuase i dont know much on that side of pc's. I asked a few people i knew and they said download "norton antivirus" I did this, installed and left it over night to find all virus's. Woke to find that Norton had found 165 files infected. It had sorted them all out.
Closed everything and restarted my pc as it said to do by norton. When it loaded up i could not open any .exe file. I could not open the interent, email, any game and even small programs such as paint and noteplad. I went straight to PC world and asked about my problem. They new straight away what the annser was. RE-INSTALL WINDOWS.

Just put in your WindowsXP CD and click repair.

windows xp i have
Win98???
Just stick the CD in and a boot disk if you have it, then when DOS loads up type D:/setup (where D: is the CD ROM Drive with the Windows disk in)
Then, it'll just go over the old windows file with the fresh ones.
You'll loose any updates for windows you have, but can always download them again :)
You won't loose any files like games or non-windows programs or personal word/html/excel etc files.
