I have a hp pavilion a800n. I think its got viruses, spy ware, or hackers any of that good stuff . Basically it’s MESSED. When I turn it on the desktop wallpaper changes to “you have fatal errors on your pc due to spy ware” and im getting lots of pop ups and its SLOW. I cant do anything! I tried system restore and it doesn’t work I can’t even open the task manager b.c it says its been disabled by the administrator?! How do I get rid of these problems? I want to do HP system recovery but I absolutely cant afford to have my files deleted; and if i need to backup my files-how do i do that? or should i go buy an antivirus software? [im typing this from a friend's laptop b.c my computers not useable] PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP!!

Borrow an external USB hard drive and copy your files over, then Use your restore disks.
For those of you running the Windows system, you might also want to consider the XP Medic program which offers several more advanced features than the Registry Patrol application, including the ability to completely optimize your entire XP/Vista operating system.

You didn’t have virus protection software before? That is like screwing without a condom-you may be okay for a while, but sooner or later, you are going to catch something. Every computer connected to the internet should be running firewall software and virus protection software.
I realize this doesn’t help you now, but if your files are vital, then it’s important that you back them up BEFORE you have computer problems. There is no guarantee that you CAN retrieve files from a computer that is already infected.
System recovery utilities and disks often restore your computer to the state it was in when you bought it-which would mean that it would delete anything on the hard drive that was not part of the original install, including your precious work files.
If you can get it to install new programs, then yes, I would install both virus protection software and anti-spyware programs, and run both. You likely have both. You can buy programs like this at any store, or there are free alternatives you can find on the net. hopefully you can get it stable enough that you can at least copy your important files to a thumb drive or disk.
Does your college have a computer help service? Many colleges do, and they are trained and experienced in helping students deal with mechanical failures and virus attacks.
