First of all, McAffee does not always pick up all the viruses. Honestly, it is not the best antivirus. So, I'd suggest
DrWeb. Without a registration key it does not cure, but it just finds the probable viruses using its heuristic analysis (means it can find some of the viruses that are not yet known), and you will at least be able to see them. Registered version can also delete them.
You could also try the following:
Step A
1. START=>Run=>[type 'msconfig']=>OK
2. Startup TAB
3. Uncheck everything you don't know. That is, all that you don't use.
4. Click OK and restart.
Step B
1. Download BrowserSentinel, which will only work for 30 days.
2. Load it, then go through its tabs, deleting everything on your way. Except for startup tab, where you delete only what you don't use\don't know. Use the default option when a confirmation window pops up. That's the one that says "recommended" next to it.
3. Restart computer.
If nothing helps, well then you got a stealth virus or the virus has already made a lot of damage to your system and nothing can help you.
Now what you can do:
Option 1. Continue working on a laggy computer for the rest of your life.
Option 2. (What I'd do): Follow this instruction:
1a. Download AIDA32 from
www.aida32.hu (free). Use it to find out the following:
- Your Ethernet(LAN) card model and website
- Your VideoCard model and website
- Your Monitor model and website
- Your SoundCard model and website
- Your mouse, keyboard and other miscellaneous peripheral models and websites.
- Any tools for your computer that manufacturer provides. Can be found on the manufacturer's website.
1b. Using the models, go to the support websites and try to find and download the appropriate driver for every part of your computer listed above. If there is no website or the website does not provide drivers, go to
www.driversearch.com and I give you 100% that you'll find the driver there. Just type in the model in the search box, and you ll get a list of links. After you have collected all the driver, put them into your documents folder. If any of them are ZIPped, you will have to unzip them with WinZip. Only then follow to the next step.
1c. Take all info (documents, favorites, mail, drivers) into one folder and either burn a backup CD or move it to second harddrive. You can also move your stuff to another computer in your household, if there is one, and if you are connected through LAN. Outlook express mail is stored in C:\Windows\Application Data\Identities\Outlook Express\YOUR IDENTITY\ ***here r your mail files ***
2. Reboot in DOS mode
3. Format C:
4. Use a startup floppy or a startup CD with CD-ROM support
5. D:\Win98se\Setup.exe or in your case D:\WinME\setup.exe or wherever your setup is...
6. Install drivers that you have backed up before... Click cancel on all the windows that ask you to install a driver for the device found. Then, when you are in the windows shell, go into that folder where you saved them and execute every single of them. Those, that don't have setup, well, you will get popups on the next reboot, and then you specify the path to the folder. Like, when it asks you for a driver for something like PCI-compatible Video Card, tell it to look in C:\Documents\NvidiaLALALA\ or something like that...
7. Move your info back to the appropriate places...
8. Install PopUp Stopper Companion and BrowserSentinel. After this you are pretty much protected from almost everything even without antivirus. Because popup stopper companion stop popups, and browser sentinel does not allow any stuff to be installed in startup or wherever without your confirmation.
Good Luck!
