I have a virus on my computer?
My Windows Vista computer recently started acting funny. First he deleted all the links that I put in my Start menu. Instead, he had links to recently used programs. Then the URL in Windows Explorer bar was just empty. It seems that the text had turned white because when I clicked, it showed the URL. Then, I was clear a shortcut Safari and Mozilla Firefox to my office. I use a dual display screen and when I looked for my first monitor, most of my icons disappeared.
I try and use malwarebytes anti-malware in safe mode.

I do not have my records (which were for Windows 2000) more to reinstall. The version of Windows XP was installed by a technician that I hired (a student who has moved on somewhere)
Then you will need to speak with the technician who installed Win XP on your OS about your "pirated" version
Where are your original discs? You can reinstall an authentic version of Win XP using them.
Your message is in the forum of the people who use the antimalware MSE program.
You might find a better solution than my suggestion if you publish in or Windows XP http://answers.microsoft.com/en-usto search forum.
Good luck...

How can I put a new password in my computer because I have a virus
I have a virus in my computer and I was told that if I change my password it will be gone so I did
If you have a virus, it is doubtful that changing your password will help. You must do a full scan with your anti virus program. If he finds it, it will isolate it in your quarantine area. A very good program (free) antivirus is Avast, you can load from the internet. It's also a good idea to download an anti-malware program such as Superantispyware.
