Question for the tech geeks

I noticed this morning when my anti virus had stopped it had quarantined 46 files from last night...

Whoever wastes their time inventing these fucking things that infect and take over personal computers should have their dicks chopped off

Stop downloading midget pR0n.

I ran the Stinger, it said it detected no threats and my soundcard still wont do anything.

What do I do now?

 

[Midswat]

Try dying in a fire.

Should make the IT problems seem pretty insignificant.

 

[dbair1967]

Midtwat brings fail to every thread. Props.

If you downloaded the tool, using that computer, it is corrupted.

Get it using another machine, burn it onto a disk and run it from the disk and do the full scan, not the short scan.

I feel for him. porn without sound is a drag. can't hear the girl moaning.

It's unlikely, but maybe the card failed? Could have overheated or something, I guess.

Yep.

It didn't give me an option to run a full or short scan that I remember seeing, but I did download the tool from another computer onto a disk and then ran the disk.

Guess I'm headed to Geeksquad to see about a new soundcard.

You will most likely have to boot from the disk if you made it bootable.

It does have that option.

Trojan found this time.

So it says "deleted" in the details, will my soundcard start working now or will I have to try and re-download the driver again?

The virus may have corrupted it. Most likely you will have to reinstall it.

Now that you're clean you should be able to go to the windows site and repair the driver.

so I shouldnt go to the company website of the soundcard? Go to Windows site instead?

That driver is a default win7 driver, you want to get it from windows.

10-4

Thanks

In fact when you do a windows update it should find and repair any corrupt or missing drivers.
