Uh......... on the off chance you aren't making a joke and for the benefit of any who don't realize that you're joking, spybot is not a substitute for anti-virus.

Try this: reboot the computer and spam the F8 key. You should eventually get the option to select how you want to boot windows (repair mode, safe mode, safe mode with command prompt, etc..) Try the repair mode and/or the restore to previous good checkpoint.

Also, to quote an old buddy: Never get emotionally attached to your data.



Nobody *really* needs an antivirus, unless he's just a generic DAU.

I'm not using antivirus software for YEARS, i scan my machine ONCE a year with no issues.
I caught a virus ONCE and i noticed it myself because my system wasn't running as usual.
Hilariously, i cought it from the microsoft website (seriously lol) and i removed it MANUALLY.


That said, i'd never advise anybody else to not use one ... for a good reason.

Really hope this is a troll...

Spy bot is for SPY ware
Anti virus is for a VIRUS...

I don't mow my lawn with a snow blower...

And seeing as you could not google this, or fix it on your own, I really do not think you should be running no AV.


O ya mac users answer is a retards answer, let's look at all the malware macs have been getting lawl... you are worse off with a "mac" than a "pc" right now lol.

O and the "old buddy" comment here... that old buddy was a ******. The answer is always back up.




bios issue makes little sense unless you changed something or the board is going bad. The bios should not randomly change and cause a lock up (cause um, the bios is just to get the computer going... basic input output system...) so the correct thing to assume would be the mobo is dying then... however with the limited testing I seen anyone talk about here I would conclude nothing.

reseting the cmos didn't work ether. nor updating the bios. its starting to point to hard drive issues. gah, might have to replace it.
