Please scan ur PC with Avira/Kaspersky AV.
B4 scanning, update them and while scan be offline.
Later scan with Adware and Malwarebyte's Antimalware.

That will clean you up to some extent.

Do u browse/connect to Internet without any AV/firewall in ur PC?

[TheLetterD]

Well dude i use avg8.5 but it deleted the files in sys32 and vista crashed....wont it happen wid other antiviruses u mentioned??

<btw r u on Facebook?>

[rhitwick]

Deleting files in Sys32 folder is risky.
Again, if system files are corrupt/infected, crashing Win7 is a matter of time.

Though, u can try repairing/clean the files rather deleting them by those AVs.

Try this(scan and repair) from safe mode (Win7 has safe mode right?)


<yes, I'm on facebook, but I very rarely visit my account there>

[TheLetterD]

(Win7 has safe mode right?): i dunno ....only been using it fr2-3 days

Though, u can try repairing/clean the files rather deleting them by those AVs.:cool so win7 wont crash or any other prob right?

<yes, I'm on facebook, but I very rarely visit my account there>:cool...if u strt visitin me FB add me as a frnd<email...dipesh.chhabra@gmail.com>

Even I don't know as I'm not on Win7 yet.
Then u have to find it out urself.

If it is repaired, it won't crash. But u never know, they may (or may not) stop working.
I just don't believe viruses.

cool...if u strt visitin me FB add me as a frnd<email...dipesh[dot]chhabra@gmail.com>

ok...and don't give out ur mail id like that. U may be spammed heavily.

<any sol fr my 2nd prob?>

That may be due to the viruses...the files are corrupt.
Clean ur system and remove those s/w and re-install again.

hey man i heard that win 7 was safe from the previous ones. whats this VIRUS !!!!
SHAME ON MICROSOFT

[Krow]

^Nothing can guard against user error. No point blaming M$ for every infection on Earth.

[y2j826]

Windows 7 is safer then any other Windows operating system, but still its 'Windows' so there are always viruses for that open hole.

[sakumar79]

Especially for those who install pirated windows/pirated software are inviting trouble for themselves...

[dreams]

^^ I deny, ppl can use pirated software but the only thing is the right AV or firewall. My Lappy has Win 7 and I am connected to Inet all 24 hours. But have all 3 protections. Malwarebytes, Win 7 Firewall, MSSE. I get virus/trojan warnings on the keygesn I d/l

Use your computer wisely.

[Krow]

I use only AVG Free 8.5 since a long time now. My PC was last infected on around October 07. Since then XP/Vista/7 none have been infected.

Windows 7 is safer then any other Windows operating system,

actually at default UAC settings vista is safer than 7 (most probably)

Can't completely agree. There are some places which can be called as Trusted Pirated Zones

Completely agree.....

Me also when started using AVG 8.5 with Comodo Firewall my PC hav never been infected.

I also scan using Malwarebytes and Combofix in monthly basis.

i use avast and got no infection.

[puneetgarg]

well 2 cases i can see
1) ur pc was infected before installing win7
2)the copy u downloaded was infected by the virus
probably its the case 1
so try first removing the virus as told by many above
and then installing fresh copy of windows and then again re-scanning before installing anything else
if the prob. persists u might just have to format ur hdd
anyways i prefer using avast because it has a on-boot scanner which can remove almost any virus at boot-up so its not a problem of the virus not being able to delete or moving to chest
anyways, In the 2nd case try
downloading a virus free copy (read comments on sites before downloading)
or purchase a legal copy
or buy from a cyber cafe (yes, they too give guarantee)

[rhitwick]

Guys, why are we even discussing on Pirated S/W.

If his OS is pirated then no candy for him.
And brace urselves from discussing on that topic...

If the conversation on Pirated s/w continues, I'm going to report this thread.

[krishnandu.sarkar]

^^Ya he's rite

Well do u hav ny XP???

Use ur current AV(i.e. AVG) to scan whole computer and see if it detects any virus from XP.

If not then ur other drive and PC is clean the the Win 7 copy itself is corrupt.

[puneetgarg]

relax...just chill out man...
i even wrote buy the original one....

[krishnandu.sarkar]

^^^

btw I think 95% of us uses pirated sw and OS(except those who hav Lappy)

[puneetgarg]

^+1 yeah i agree because almost 99% of the Indian population would feed their family for 2 months with the same price they would pay for an original copy of windows

IMO, those who use windows (which connects to them having a PC) won't be requiring to save money for feeding their children.

If they can afford a PC, they should be able to afford the s/w they are going to use.

[krishnandu.sarkar]

^^^Ya

But every1 think y they shud buy original copy while they can get it for free(not free actually....internet and electric bill is thr)

[puneetgarg]

ok bro... u win happy i dont wanna get into this piracy vs. india discussion again.... so just chill up...
but u cant deny the fact that the pirators are much more in strength in this country then the original owners

[krishnandu.sarkar]

^^^^Nyway u r rite we r moving 4m the point.

I think the copy of Win 7 he downloaded contains virus itself.....!!

Dude.......I cant suggest u pirating here(@ digit at least)

So buy a original copy and ur problems will automatically get solved....!!

[Krow]

^You are talking about home PC's. Mostly industries use original s/w.

[krishnandu.sarkar]

^^^^ Hehhehehhhe.....

[puneetgarg]

yeah krow we are talking about home pc
we dont have money like industry owners to buy just a key for 6-7k
