A virus has got in now I cant use appwiz.cpl to remove daemon tools to get rid of sptd.dll which stops safe mode from working and I need safe mode to get control panel back. What do I do?
Re-install. Even though you brag about having 14 different bits of AV software you've seriously f*cked over this copy of Windows. Re-install it, set yourself to a limited account and stop one handed web surfing with IE6.
I've not really beem following your PC troubles but once things get so bad it is usually easier to format and reinstall than try and repair everything.
My anti-virus has been expired for a few months now (I'm lazy), and even the Adware scanners don't pick anything up. You really need to stop going to whatever sites you're going to, and stop downloading what ever you're downloading, lol.
He's got a hell of a lot of anti-virus/spyware/malware/adware according to some other threads hes started. It's easy to get viruses from anywhere; just think about what youre doing and you should go virus free.
As already said, go to a computer shop and get the thing a 'Re & Re' (Reformat and Windows Re-Install). After that, be more careful. We don't know what you do to get so many viruses, but you're obviously doing something wrong. Viruses don't just appear on your system.
I've only ever got virii via dodgey spam emails or from going to sites where I expect that sort of thing due to their nature. Even with that, I reckon less than 20 infections since I've been using PCs (14 years).
I still only bother to turn my Anti virus on once a month or so for a scan, and I'm still at 1 virus in 5 years.
You have to be a bit of twerp to pick up viruses tbh. (IMHO of course )
Just set it to update first thing in the morning, or when you turn your computer on.
Turn it off when your racing, there's no need for it to be running.
