Nootbook - virus?

christina — Thu, 10 Nov 2005 12:34:47 GMT

Hello, few days ago i tried to download kazaa and in a few sec my notebook was infected by spy programms and i dont know what else... i did 3 times format with the recovery cd of sony (the last time both c and d drives) but still i receive messenges from windows that the notebook is infected from virus and i should download varius programms. The main problem is that my notebook is shuting down a few min after is on due to NT register problems....
Do you have an idea what is the problem?
Shall i make another format?
Do you thing that the virus has caused a hardware problem?
What do you suggest me to do?
Thank you in advance
Christina

Kazza is probably the worst P2P client for this kind of thing.

Get yourself a copy of Spybot click here for download.

Then download Ad-Aware. Click here for download.

Also download the malicious Software Removal Tool from microsoft. get it here

Run the programs and they should be able to handle anything that is attached to Kazza.
