 | View Full Version : I need help with my comp!!! Nathan 10-03-2001, 06:05 PM Hey, guys, I have this virus called haptime, I've tried getting software to cure it but, I can't install it because they do a scan first and then it won't install if you system isn't clean... Anyone know how I could get rid of this virus? Angel78 10-03-2001, 06:22 PM get a gun :) sorry no idea Nathan 10-03-2001, 06:23 PM Man, I hope there's someone out there that can help me!!

Any one (get it from a buddy) will usually do. edwow 10-03-2001, 07:09 PM seems a pretty serious virus.

Nathan 10-03-2001, 09:10 PM Ok, now that the virus is gone, how can I repair all of the exe files like IE 5.5 and stuff like that?! Cyberpunk 10-03-2001, 10:22 PM Back up all the data important to you either by software methods or manually and reinstall :( If theres been a lot of system damage youre probably better off doing so. Nathan 10-04-2001, 07:16 AM The virus changed a few paths like my System info in the System tools folder, it thinks its paint... how do I fix that? Cyberpunk 10-04-2001, 07:37 AM Not sure offhand..... I definately think you should back up and reinstall, sometimes its for the best long term. |
