G'day all! from yet another Aussie

[Jemor]

So glad I found this forum. I'm about to tackle a blasted redirect virus. These people are getting better at planting these as this is the first major problem I have not been able to fix myself since home pc's were invented. But then, I'm now using windows 8.1...grrrr and not looking forward to Windows 10. Operating systems are getting far too advanced too quickly in my opinion and most features are not used or needed, especially by older people.
Heads up! there are more things in life than computers and gaming, especially when you have to spend hours of that precious life fixing other people's hijacking.
Don't worry, I'll feel better when I get this fixed. Just venting!

Hi and Welcome in to the lair of busted malwares Jemor ... I'm your tour guide Sunday Knight... !

Good luck with the issue, it sounds like common sense more then venting, but hopefully that Virus will meet ESET soon. They will talk it out Or that's what the re-direct virus thinks...

I'm losing my war with corrupt drivers in an OS. it won't boot on laptop, now suddenly baaahhh.
Freezes just before 'WELCOME'

Thank you Jake for your welcome.
Sorry to here you are having trouble. I guess you've tried to start up in 'Safe Mode' with the F5? key tapping before it gets to welcome? From memory I think I had to do that with similar problem a long time ago and search for the driver needed to download and install. I can't remember now. My old head is getting too bogged up with fixes. A bit like my pc's. hehe..garbage in, garbage out.

Thank you everyone for your warm welcomes.

I'm sorry I haven't been online since my post, but where I live we have just gone through a national disaster as a catagory 2 cyclone hit a few days ago and have not had power, phones or internet until yesterday. The east coast Aussies would know what it's been like. Massive clean up and now getting to attend my online stuff. I might even get a chance in the next few days to have a better look around the forums and getting to know some of you better.

TwinHeadedEagle seems to have fixed my pc also, so everything looking up again here.

Thank you all again.
