Recently, for reasons I cannot explain, my computer decided it would not boot. I think it has a Boot virus but can not seem to remove anything of this nature.
I can see the files on the drive but that is as far as I can get.
I have tried to make a fresh install but the CD gets to the options of Install, Repair or Exit. After that I get the following displayed:
STOP: 0x0000008E (0xC0000005, 0x807C6F65, 0xF7331798, 00×00000000)
My machine is an Acer E500 desktop with dual processors
I have tried Repair, Format – for new install, Microsoft Boot setup, Boot Disk and so far nothing is getting me any further advanced.
I have seen a message “Virus” but every time I have tried to scan it detects nothing
Any help would be very much appreciated
