Can't Alt Ctrl Delete

Jazendar · Post by **Jazendar** » Mon Jan 30, 2006 10:22 pm

So basically, I think i might have a virus or something, i've not been able to alt ctrl delete for like the past month or two, and haven't reinstalled because most of my programs aren't valid editions, including windows xp itself. I don't want to reformat for those reasons plus nothing else is wrong, everything else runs fine. Is there anything I can do to remedy the situation? Thanks.

You can try paying for the shit and getting valid editions.

Alt Ctrl Delete?

It's Ctrl Alt Delete. That's your problem.

The one I am using looks almost like windows. Little icons and such.
My other box is a bit more bare, but all I use it for is Firefox and in the little typey box, all you have to type is "firefox" and presto. There it is.

Maybe a smidge more "work" than Windows.
But whatever. Keep sucking Bill Gates cock and use Windows.

spybot and adaware are not anti-virus softwares.

AVG like martrae said

Would AVG detect the worm that suppose to be unleash on February 3?

If it is updated and current, yes.

I've not read much about that worm, but what's it's form of passage? Is it going to be through email attachments or?

What are you trying to access with ctrl alt delete.. just task manager? cuz that's ctrl shift esc if that's all you need.

I was trying to get to the proccesses to alt ctrl delete out of unneeded programs to reduce the memory used etc. Or when a program isn't responding. I'm at a friends computer at the moment, and i'll try what what you recommended Gyps, Thanks.
