    Computer crashed?


    Hello!
    I have a problem with my computer. I was checking around my computer for any viruses since it's been going slow lately. And when my Virus Scanner got something called: "Storm Trojan" It crashed my computer!
    I found it while looking in my emails (At least my friend told me that) The title of it was "230 dead as storm batters Europe.' But it completely BROKE my computer, seriously.. I can't do anything with it!

    I had so much stuff on that computer, all of that stuff was Important!

    Could I be able to fix this? Or having to get a new computer?
    (I'm so sorry If this is the wrong place to put this I just need help)
    I also got something called Sasser on my computer?
    Are these bad Viruses/Trojan?

    I'm using my sister's computer, please help though.. Thank you~!

    It is a botnet type of malware. It is dangerous. You should only ever open emails from people you know. But saving the file and clean installation should resolve the issue. We can then scan these files and make sure nothing came back along for the ride.



    & No problem, were here to help!

    I mean, I had this Trojan before but it took me half a year to actually fix it... But I would prefer to just get a new computer really..

    As I said, follow the tutorials. There is no need to buy a new pc. Any hard drive can be wiped and clean installed with windows. Once we get windows installed, we can scan your backup for any threats before restoring them to your pc.

    Maybe deleting the emails on the other computer on safe mode will work?
