well um.. whenever i try to turn on my comp, all it shows is my wallpaper and nothing else.
its like when it first turns on, everything is frozen. then when i click around, it tells me I need "win2sock" or something to be able to run. i have NO IDEA WHY! all i was doing was talking to my friends on AIM when I decided to restart my computer because Firefox wasn't working and neither was my IE. whenever I opened it, it'd say "windows cannot display." so yeah.. now i restarted it and it shows nothing. =[ when i press okay to that win2sock notice, it opens firefox to microsoft.com BUT IT WONT DISPLAY ANYTHING!! bah im so scared. >_>;; I'm not supposed to break my computer yet.. and i had no idea what i even did. Dx edit// also the only internet I could have accessed during that time was BitComet.. but there are no toolbars around.

Is your computer old?
What is it running on? Windows XP? I really think you have a virus.. QUOTE whenever I opened it, it'd say "windows cannot display." Because you were disconnected. Or something interrupted your connection. QUOTE so yeah.. now i restarted it and it shows nothing. =[ What do you mean by it shows nothing? |

Try rebooting in safe mode, if you can then run a virus scan. (or if you're using XP use system restore to go back to a date when there was no problem.)

I was on cB from my laptop. o.o
D: I dont have any porn though..  mmm.. the internet was working at that time. it was even working on my laptop when it didn't work on my compuer. rawr sock: It's running on Windows XP - it's not that old. I just bought it like 5 months ago i think. I dont think it was used any time before this. It showed nothing.. like just my wallpaper. ooo. the safe mode thing works, and it detected a worm, but it was just an IRC chat worm.. and it said it couldn't delete.

That IRC Chatworm can be something bigger than it says it is.
