I think its the virus in my mother board and im trying to get rid of it by reseting my cmos but idk how to do that. When i try to go the cmos menu it only takes me to the bios settings when i press del

I have
Asus A8S-X motherboard
2 gigs of ram
Amd anthlon 64 X2 dual core processor 3800+
Nvidia Geforce 7800 GT


Can anyone help me it would be much much appreciated.

You could try running some anti spyware or malware scans also try using ccleaner to fix your reg

goto download.com, download malwarebytes.... best free anti-spyware around.. also, if your decently adept you can get autoruns which lets you poll through anything that auto runs from the registry and disable stuff... don't mess anything up tho...

Those generally work well anytime I've ever gotten one.. eh

i seriously doubt that you have a virus in your mobo. Like soul said, make sure that the virus is completely gone. You can download free programs (like ccleaner and Spybot Search & Destroy) or i can hook you up with Eset's Nod32.

Another route that you might have to think about is what the virus did to your OS. A lot of viri, when infecting your comp, will replace/remove files, leaving you with corrupt install. Unless you can restore those files, you might be looking at a re-install.

Btw, flashing ur CMOS is not a setting in your BIOS. It's a jumper on your mobo

i did a scan with malware bytes and it found nothing

what else could cause my game play?

Do you have a External hard drive ? You should back up your maps folders and anything else important. You need to Download CCleaner from FileHippo.com - Download Free Software Its a super website and its all great stuff. I tell many many people about it, You should run ccleaner everyday ! Also is windows firewall saying anything to you ? You might want to check your rig for any updates. Do you remember what the virus was named ? Sometimes you can google the name of it and find out what other people did to clear up the problem. You can restore your computer to a earlier state but most fags that make these viruses loop hole that because its what most people try to do first. You should start by searching your registry. Type in REGEDIT in the search box, Look for any new files that you dont recognize. Thats where i would start at first. Good luck buddy And a fresh install is only a last resort !

No i dont have an external drive and i got a lot of important stuff especiallly 1000 songs not enjoyin dled again.

Still dont work I dled ccleaner and got rid of some stuff.
As well as doing multiple scans to make sure with all my anti spyware and virus softwares

I searched in regedit and nothing there has been added or changed since 2004.

I had the C:\faux virus\carny_ride.exe which i found in the middle of a norton scan when i was bored watching and didnt detect it(i know it sux) after i found it i started gettin trojans, backdoors, and worms.

I really dont wnt to reformat its a fucking pain and takes forever.
Is there anymore help i can try.

[badfish]

imo i would go with a clean install .............external hard drives are inexpensive so that would be ur best bet to buy one transfer important files and documentation on it then reformat.

........baddie

If you don't want to get a external you could use a flash or "jump" drives. I don't know how many it would take but they are cheap and you just drag over the stuff you want to save on it. You can pick up the 8 GB drives at walmart for under 15 bucks. It depends on how big your hard drive is and how much space is used up really. Do you know if your drive is SATA or IDE ?

Here is todays shell shocker from NewEgg.com No sales tax and free shipping on a external 640 gig !
