Cant boot in safe mode. Its just making the pc constantly pop up drwat32.dll failed error. CONSTANTLY, like every few seconds. Ive tried to turn off the shit it put in startup folder but it isnt working. Task manager will not launch either.

I cannot reformat this pc, and I will ignore anyone telling me to.

failing a repair install, suck it up and reformat.

boot into a live distro and grab whatever you want to save.

/ignored


I removed the drwat32 and drwwin and it stopped. Now I just have to find the cause. Now I can manuver through windows. Only thing is task manager wont launch, but i can use tuneup utilities for that.

Are you sure "my sister gave her self a virus" isn't code for, "I used my sisters computer because mine wasn't working, and broke her's as well"?

Do you even have a sister?

Anyways, do what slovach said.

"I cannot reformat this pc, and I will ignore anyone telling me to."

You're obviously blind.

The only reason I can think of to not reformat is to keep existing data, so slovach solved that problem for him.

Problem solved already. Amazingly I didnt have to just reformat. AMAZINGLY, i could delete the virus. However the pc bsod during a chkdsk /f /r and i cannot boot safemode. Also the HDD does not appear in disk managment.


Just gotta use a partition program, move the shit, and reformat. The virus just replaced all the programs with fakes.

Edit: drive cannot be identified by partition magic.

Trying to partition a hard drive with a virus-fucked system is a bad idea. Boot into a live distro and move your shit there. A lot of distros come with gparted installed by default.

You really shouldn't have waited for the virus to destroy everything on your disk before you decided to reformat.
