I am ready to snap

So i havnt been around again for a while since my isp cut me off for downloading/uploading 312gb in 2 weeks. I thought my computer was working since i did another reformat and dell replaced some hardware. It appears now im having virus/spyware problems. Right after a reformat i installed my network driver then restarted and it was already overrun. This has been happening every reformat since then no matter what the hell i do be it nothing but install windows everythings fucked up already. I dont know how in the hell else i can stop this so any ideas would be much appreciated.

First make sure the disk you're using has SP2 intergrated... look for a file on the cd called winsp2 or some shit... if it is sp1 or missing, call dell and get a new one... or just kazza it like the noob you are... :lol:

download autopatcher from neowin... burn it off on a disk (get the latest full version)
download hitman pro... burn it to a disk too... along with AVG... (or not, i dont have or use any of that shit :lol: )
download your drivers from dell or whatever the fuck... burn it to disk

now reinstall with format...

install the drivers from your disk (dont connect to the net yet)
install the autopatcher and run it (dont check the WGA stuff)
install avg and hitman and run it (dont install the trialware with it)

THEN connect to the net and stop looking for midgets with baseball bats... :lol:

I dont use any p2p programs and have burned and updated to sp2 as well as all my dell drivers before connecting. I am right now burning a firewall and antivirus program to a cd so i can load those up as well after this format finishes. I hope it works if not ill use those programs you mentioned.

And remember im a fool but not that much of a fool to randomly look for shit or use retarted progarms. Thanks for the help though.

Not porn! just tons of shit on my other computer haha. I guess i deserved it though i have a like 80g/month down/up max.

I use autopatcher at work on hundreds of computers a month...
It has all the microsoft patches plus a bunch of other stuff all in one download.
I love it because it makes windows update obsolete.

Hitman pro has a shitload of antispyware tools that install and run automatically without you having to check all the boxes and hit next a thousand times...

Well i got 600mb left on this cd so i guess ill toss that all in thanks man.

Well fuck ive hit a snag i just got a message saying my windows key has been used to many times because of all the fucking reformat's. Now i dont know what the hell im gonna do.

call microsoft. tell them you had hardware problems and had to activate it a few times this month because of reinstalls...
if they bitch, ask for a supervisor...

I guess that could work. So far so good with viruses/spyware atleast i think so and its just running a tad slower but i can live with that for a stable computer.

sounds like you've become a zombie box.

ubuntu linux until you figure out what to do.

All is well! after about a month im finally ready to settle back down and play some bf2.

I thought you started ths topic today...

ive been having problems since about sept 6th and this was the latest and hopefully final for a while.

im posting everywhere now that i foudn the post reply button!

if you have an OEM box like a Dell or HP or something the only key you need for XP Pro is at http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechn...y/oempreac.mspx . Save your other key for another use.
