Hey, I started a topic here a bit ago.
Location: http://forums.whatthetech.com/hidrag_a_pro…rs_t111843.html
I ended up just reformatting the whole computer and now it works fine. But i would like to know if it possible to get rid of the viruses on my external.
I would like to use a majority of the files on my external and it would be a little difficult to get most of these back so reformatting it is a last option.
Thank you to LDTate for making his best attempt to save my computer and thank you to anyone who decides to help me in the future.
