[Aetherslime]

Last week when i turned on my computer windows told me there was a problem with starting it, the error message says operation be done bc of virus on som dll files. I deleted the files and reinstaled them but it still says that there is a virus

The problem is that some of the dll files was from nvidia and now the computer cant open games and other programs. It can open chrom though and som virus programs. I have tryd to instal new nvidia drivers but it errors and says somthing about wrong perameter

Download Malwarebytes antimalware http://www.malwarebytes.org/mwb-download/ and install it, then run a scan and it's normally very good and fixing malware-related issues. Just check that nothing on the list is good because it does come up with quite a few false positives (normally labelled as PUPs)

uninstall the NVIDIA drivers using DriverSweeper, making sure to tick the box that says something like "Remove NVIDIA/AMD files" do that and it will remove everything to do with the drivers, which should hopefully fix that bit and then merely do a clean install of some new drivers. For the virus things, try download something like Avast/AVG or Malwarebytes do a safe mode boot and then run a full system scan, these can take a while but if you want you could try a quick scan, not sure how effective those are compared to full system scans. Anyway I hope this helped bud if you need anymore questions PM me

I dont care, i dont have much important stuff on my computer. But will that get rid of the virus?

Yes. Unless the virus is installed on the controlled of your hard drive (it's not, I can assure you), reinstalling windows will get rid of any virus you have. Assuming it is a virus and not just some corrupted program.

then just do it

its much easier than trying to figure out whats wrong

What wilm happen if it is a corrupted program?

Then it's massive overkill and depending on why it stopped working (hardware) it may continue to not work. Chances are that reinstalling will fix it though.

Its a laptop so there was not disc, the os was preinstalled

Windows 7 or 8? (Or something else)

[Aetherslime]

Windows 7

When Windows is starting button mash the F8 key like crazy and try to get into safe mode. Then download and install Malwarebytes and do a full scan.

Also from menu this opens you could try to roll it back maybe month or so to get possibly virus free.

I have tried that to(if you are talking about loading up a savepoint) but for some reason i dont have any.

In have bin trying to figur out how i got the virus, does it have to be me downloading somthing or can it just come from me surfing or somthing. Idk if this is possible but about the same time i got the virus my galaxy s3 broke down, i tryed to fix it by conecting it to the pc. Can this be the source of th evirus on my pc?

Most times they come in zipped files or tag along with .exe files and install them selves inside system. But they can come from you clicking some ad or link while browsing. I haven't heard one to move from phone to pc but that would be pretty valid way to spread them also.

[Aetherslime]

Ok, so i went into safemoade and installed the letest nvidia driver and i dont get the virus message every time i start the pc, but i get a message saying wrong perameter every time i try to open a program

[Aetherslime]

I have now fixed the problems by reinstalling
