Comp Virus

While checking my Y! mail, i dicovered an email written in Chinese text by someone named “Sean” I said to myself, “Oh that’s spam, lets just move it to it’s appropriate folder…”

Then BAM!

My screen gets all jumbled. Crtl-Alt-Dlt doesn’t work. Nothing worked. Hell, even the shortcut (F12) I created to kill unresponding tasks wasn’t working. I decided to go for a manual push of the off button.

The comp is now off. I turn it back on. The on ring has a light, BUT

The HDD light is not blinking, is not responsive
My mouse has no light coming out of it.
No other peripherals respond, their only on.
The BIOS does not show up, only a black screen with the words from my monitor “No Signal”

Is there a tool i can use, a flash drive program i can plug in while it starts. The comp is nonrespisnive, not booting up. I will try to post images of the jumbled screen later (taken by my camera) as I am on a public computer.

In my wisdom, i have unlugged the ethernet cord from my comp, isolating it, and unplugged the power, just in case.

Any help is appreciated. s

Yes, I know this. I need to find out whether it was the email tho.

I’m at a public computer, I dont crae, they dont care. Nothing happened when i DL’ed the file tho…..

Did the public computer have a different OS or web browser?

Yes.

XP/Older IE
That explaions it thank you…

Still need help with home comp….

help….

flash the BIOS, run a clean install of your OS

COmp is unresponsive, dunno if flashin will help

I am trying to presverve documents.

You have a virus. Kill it. Remove the hard drive. Purge the memory. Replace hard drive, memory, anything infected. Or buy a new computer and put anti virus on it. Buy bitdefender. It’s not free, but it works. And there is a help thread, just go to the directory, on the second page. Use it.

Grab a Live CD for a linux distro and boot from that.

Use it to copy your files to a different hard drive.

Reformat and reinstall.

How about you use the official thread for this, instead of making a new one and taking up space?

I’d rather go for hardware malfunctioning than a virus…
