VIRUS SISZYD32.EXE KILLED MY FR COMPUTER

I can’t tell you how to fix it, wish I could, but I can tell you what I do to prevent them. I have Spyware Doctor which runs constantly. If my Norton(yes, I like Norton) doesn’t get it, Spyware Doctor usually does. I get updates from Spyware Doctor almost daily as it finds new things.

I detest having to reinstall the operating system and all of my software. I have 2 external hard drives and 2 internal hard drives. Each week I send all of my files, pictures anything new to the external hard drive. Once a month I send those files to the other external hard drive that I don’t keep attached to my computer.

I use Black Armour Replica once a week for my C drive. What this does it take a ghost image of your entire hard drive. If you get a virus you can wipe you hard drive out, then just put the ghost image right back on. When you turn on your computer, everything will be just as it was before. Same thing if your hard drive fails and you install a new hard drive. Instead of spending a day loading all of your software, you it is all loaded in a short time.

Prevention is good, but there are times when even if you don’t get a bug, your hard drive will eventually fail. This makes it super easy. Pop the new hard drive in, ghost the image and you are right back in business with everything you had on there before. Of course, if you have a virus and you copied it, it will also put that back on there. I haven’t had a Trojan or virus in years, but my programs sure have blocked several of them. Mainly trojans. I honestly think my Spyware Doctor is better than my anti virus. It catches things Norton and others don’t.

I just think you need both. Also, every once in a while I download ad-aware and spybot(free) and run them. They rarely find anything since I got Spyware Doctor. Once I run them, I just uninstall them. I also swear by Registry Mechanic. It’s incredible how much crap is left on your computer and it cleans it up.

I also use clean up and CCleaner(both free) and run them daily. CC has a registry cleaner on it too. I’ve used it, it works, but always tell it to make a back up any time you use a registry cleaner.

Good luck and I hope you can get rid of it without having to re-install Windows.

Sounds like fun. I was offered a D55 promotion and transfer to Bellcore in Piscataway if I wanted to stay with the PacBell. I opted to leave for green pastures with a local DoD contractor. That turned out to be a good move. I really didn't want to move to New Jersey. My new employer has been very good over the last 18 years.

There was a cousin to COSNIX call MERT that was used in the ACD devices. That was simply amusing reading. I never had to work on it. When I first started in Toll Equipment Engineering, I read an interesting paper by Jay Goldstein on Directed Hypergraph databases. That was in 1980. By 1986, I was writing specialized database routines for LFACS that were implemented as directed hypergraph databases. It appears to have been implemented using a CODASYL style database grabbing keyed binary blobs. Once the blob was in memory, you effectively did a dynamic "cast" of the blob to the datatype. That provided the necessary offset information to access the fields of the body properties, edges and hyperedges. It was a neat design, but always left me a bit nervous about writing correct code. Thankfully, I managed to have 100% successes with it. I really wasn't enjoying have to be "perfect" every time. It would have been very easy for a simple error to do some serious damage to the database.

I have 30 years of experience and I have never gotten a virus. Viruses generally result from sloppy skilz. Malware usually comes from mistyping a website name (microspft) and getting a porn site or people porn surfing. Porn sites are hosts for malware although more conventional sites are starting to see malware embedded in their banners. Most of the time, people give the malware permission to infect their machine (”You have a virus. Click here to fix it”).

Viruses must be executed to infect. We see this when people download movies, songs, porn, etc and run an infected file. Office files used to be a popular method of transport but that has waned.

FR cannot infect your PC. FR does not run ads.

start -> run -> msconfig

Click the starup tab. disable anything you don’t recognize. If you’re not sure, look the file up on a reputable site from another computer. Reboot into safe mode. Delete the virus.

If you can’t boot, boot off your windoze CD, go to a command prompt and see if you can delete the file. If not, reformat and forget it.

Use NOD32. I haven’t had a virus/spyware/adware etc.. in the 5 years since I’ve been using it.

The latest versions of Linux are getting very easy to get running....and for just browsing the internet there is very little to do to get them going on a desktop....

Laptops can still have problems....

I think Linux Mint is one of the best...remember I am talking a system that allows you tolive on the web and worry very little about going to any website.

Windows is great for just about everything except dealing with the bad stuff on the internet.

****************************

But back to the problem...if the heatsink fan is turning...that usually indicates the machine is working...so why can't we see a BIOS screen...hmm?

Have you got a keyboard with a PS2 plug...or an adapter for the USB to allow the keyboard to plug into the PS2 port...?

Could be a keyboard problem.

Could be a motherboard problem where the portion of the Mother board that drives the USB interface is failing...I've seen that.

Usually an indication that the Motherboard is on its way to the great beyond.

If you have another keyboard you might want to try it on the machine.,

How do we know that the Monitor is working?

Just having a light on isn’t enough.

Carbonite is just about flawless. Just install it, launch it, and forget about it.

Does Carbonite create an image of your hard drive? I believe it is simply a data backup solution.

For real protection, get Macrium Reflect.

It will create a full image of your boot drive in about 20 minutes using VSS...which means it will do this while Windows is running.

Do an image once per week. Store it on an external USB drive if you like. If you get a virus, forget trying to defeat the virus...just wipe the drive clean by formatting it (any Live CD will do, Linux or WinXP) and then boot with the Macrium Reflect boot CD you createdand restore an image that you know is clean (Save the last 3 images you create) and then reboot the machine. It will be as if you never had a virus at all.

I use this software and have tested it numerous times. It is flawless...and it's FREE.

advice I may have to use...

bump for later use...

thanks for the tip...

When all else fails, brunt force always works.

brunt ==>> brute

it is in windows explorer itself in the upper right hand corner- look for an input box with a magnifying glass icon to the right of it

everything got blocked in progress, usually when its process was coming to an end. Some had also detected the virus but the virus terminated them before action could be taken.

More likely it was the begiining of your HD Failure that was causing things to blackscreen.

Here is the summary: HD only reads the first few blocks on POST (Power On Self Test) then stops. HD cannot be autodeteced by BIOS. The HD is 9 years old, and ran every day for 12 hours. That's 38,000 hours. Not much at all for today's HD's with an MBTF of multiples of that. But it's pining for the fjiords..

Data can be recovered by getting an identical drive and under cleanroom conditions, switching the platter stack. Software recovery and repair programs like Spinrite will not work if the HD will not run.

My computer was captured 2 years ago by “Antivirus 2008” and before I knew it had disabled all. I tried everything including re install. Nothing worked. Cost? 200 dollars.

A few months ago another bad one - forgot the name - cost 200 dollars.

Interesting. I've got a similar problem. How long did it take them to fix it? Did they do it at your house or did they take it to a repair shop?

[eleni121]

took it in—they could not figure it out over the phone

The guys housed at Best Buy-—I forget their name...

A terrible trojan...

[Musket]

Thanks. I’m assuming it took a couple/few days, no? Yup, $200. That’s what the Best Buy Geek Squad charges according to their web page.

I did not care about the log because it was able to eliminate the virus from the hard drive. The only other way is to use another non infected hd to scan your hard drive to remove the virus.

Let me know if it works for you..
