I need help fixing my brothers computer which has been fucked up by a virus. Lately over hotmail there has been a screen saver virus going around under different names, and my brother, being the 13 year old child he is, opened the one entitled "Britney Spears Strip Dance". Low and behold, after he opened it his interent connection was terminated. Now i have no idea how to fix it. He has xp and gets virus definition updates but because there is no connection to the internet, he cant get them. How the fuck do i fix it so he doesnt keep whining and start using my computer more and more.

do ya know what virus it is?, if so got to symatic (i think thats how you spell it) and look for a fix for it

if not then im not too sure what you could do, but if worst comes to worst you could always format the mofo

Tell your brother to go away, play outside or something, leave you the fuck alone. It's his own fault.

GreenEggs&Pot · 12-30-2002, 07:06 PM

Basically you back-up your stuff and re-instal windows. Not sure exactly, long time since I did one.

A reformat is "wiping your shit clean". I occasionally reformat my system just to keep it fresh....nothing like a fresh machine for speed.

Here is a link for you to read on how to reformat with WinXP. Go for it and learn something from it.

1) Look up the virusname on your PC, and find how to clean it.

2) Format his PC.
