Whenever I post a message on this site a box comes up and says computer has to shut down!
The message goes on, but I have to restart 'puter.
Strange?
Other sites are ok

Seems like a virus or some other piece of junk running in the back-ground.
I wrote a bit on how to scan, and remove pretty much every piece of spyware, adware, and virus here: http://www.femalefirst.co.uk/board/viewtopic.php?t=110427
I hope that works.  |

First thing I would try.. I would download "SeaMonkey" from Mozilla, and "tiny personal firewall" from "older versions"... And boycott IE, and OE, and block them from Net connecting, with tiny personal firewall's blocking features... Then try the forum with SeaMonkey... If it still crashes, then format-C...
Save your stuff on floppies or 2xCD's, Format-C, pull the battery for an hour, and reload the system... And be cautious about the emails you open...
Be sure you have a good systems CD, and the boot floppy...
Best to not use a boot floppy made on that PC...
Before you open any old CD or floppy, AVS it... Who knows how far that bug has infiltrated your computer environment..? |
