Hi MWT People!
I'm new here, Hello.
My computer is so infested with malware that I'm surprised it hasn't sprouted legs and run away. I've had to wipe the hard-drive and reloaded the OS (Windows 7sp1...I know) four times in the last five-months! That used to do the trick, but not anymore.
I've also spent hundreds on new security systems, but after I've used a malware cleaner, installed them and started them scanning, they've all told me "Everything is just great!". They never catch a virus. It's like getting a cat when you're infested with mice and discovering that the cat is mouse-phobic.
Most recently, my computer's descent into Hell went like this:
1. Start to slow down (uh-oh)...
2. Delete files (UH-OH)!
3. Change the shell-extensions on programs and take ownership of them so that I don't have permission to do anything about it (@&^%#*&@%!)
4. Disable maintenance functions like Windows Update and Recovery, and corrupt all of my installers and uninstallers. (Zena's throwing up now.)
6. Added programs that I've never seen before, and don't show up on Programs and Features so I can delete them (is it getting dark in here?)
5. Killed Chrome, which I cannot uninstall and made it crash every 5-10 seconds (head exploding. Meh!).
I've seen each of the above before, but never all at once and so quickly! If anyone has a clue, I'm clueless and would appreciate any help you can offer.
THANKS FOR BEING OUT THERE!
