Unread postby JLP38 » March 2nd, 2012, 12:05 am

My laptop constantly crashes and is very hard to get it to boot up. It start to boot, but will crash before completely booting. It takes several attempts to get it to boot. Once it does boot up if I attempt to do anything that requires a good amount of work from the computer it will crash. I cannot even complete a full scan with my anti virus. Also, not sure if it is related but my CD drive has stopped working.

Hello JLP38,

Welcome to the forum! :)

My name is maxi and I'll be helping you with any malware problems.

Currently I am working under the guidance of the MRU teachers and everything I post to you, must first be approved by them.
This additional review process can add some extra time to my responses, but I will post back with instructions for you as soon as possible.


Before we begin, please read and follow these important guidelines, so things will proceed smoothly.
  1. The instructions being given are for YOUR computer and system only!
    Using these instructions on a different computer can cause damage to that computer and possibly render it inoperable!
  2. You must have Administrator rights, permissions for this computer.
  3. DO NOT run any other fix or removal tools unless instructed to do so!
  4. DO NOT install any other software (or hardware) during the cleaning process. This adds more items to be researched.
  5. Only post your problem at (1) one help site. Applying fixes from multiple help sites can cause problems.
  6. Print each set of instructions if possible - your Internet connection will not be available during some fix processes.
  7. Your security programs may give warnings for some of the tools I will ask you to use. Be assured, any links I give are safe.
  8. Only reply to this thread, do not start another one. Please, continue responding, until I give you the "All Clean!" :cheers:
    Absence of symptoms does not mean that everything is clear.


Please read all instructions carefully before executing and perform the steps, in the order given.
lf you have any questions or problems executing these instructions, <<STOP>> do not proceed, post back with the question or problem.


DDS Scan
  1. Please download DDS ... by sUBs. Save it to your desktop. Alternate download links here or here.
    Please disable any Antivirus or Firewall you have active, as shown in this topic before running DDS.
  2. Right-Click on dds.com, select Run As Administrator.... (File name will be different if alternate download used).
    A black window will open with some instructions/comments...
  3. When done, DDS will open two (2) logs:
    • DDS.txt
    • Attach.txt
    Caution: The above logs will NOT be saved, so you must save them to your desktop.
  4. Please post both the DDS.txt and Attach.txt files in your next reply.


In your next reply please include:
Both logs produced by DDS.

Regards maxi :)
