I think you missed my point..

There is no such thing as a computer that can be brought back to life.

Once malware has touched the machine it is no longer "trusted". Pretty much all of them contain a rootkit component which are undetectable without putting the drive in another computer or booting from another OS.

These rootkits will occasionally download new spyware packages to install when it finds out the ones it originally installed were removed.

These rootkits will occasionally be used by hackers to stage attacks on other machines or distribute illegal content such as child pornography. You'll never know till the FBI is at your door and your reputation and career is over.

There is no way to tell how bad the computer is infected by measuring its speed or the amount of popups. The only real methods to check take more time than simply putting in the windows CD and reinstalling the OS.

do "output log"
and from that list that lsits everything possiel that loads on your comp... could probably find the "crap" you got loading and lookup how to specifically remove what your browser is specifcally loading with all the adware.

It is kind of like getting herpes.. it doesn't go away.

You can use programs to treat the symptoms, but breakouts will "popup" later on you.

Welcome to the wonderful world of Microsoft.

I hope you pirated your copy of windows.

Pirated Windows doesn't make it better -- it makes your life far, far more miserable in terms of trying to stay ahead of the curve with security updates that illegitimate licenses are mostly prevented from easily obtaining.

I like mine, I know I don't get updates and stuff, but I really don't do much on my computer anyways.

Well as of now I just wanted a quick fix untill I buy a new computer and actually take care of it, this one was fucked before I ever got it. Everything I just did really really helped my computer though. So thank you everyone for helping =) As far as I know my computer works perfectly, even though i know theres still alot of shit still on it that shouldnt be >_>

Pirated copies of windows still get automatic updates.. they just can't manually go to windows update. If the machine is on all the time you'll get your patches just fine.

They sure can if you replace the genuine advantage tool with cracked versions. Of course you could just use WindizUpdate.
