Virus preventing login?

[atomicpanda]

It seems like a virus is preventing me from logging on to my computer. The computer starts just fine but upon turning on, the screen is just blank. I cannot access safe mode either. Just before I discovered this problem I had done a partial scan of my computer with MalwareBytes and removed the viruses I found. Upon this, I was asked to restart the computer. Please help! Thank you.

You might have to boot from your operating system disk and run a repair. The virus could have affected the mbr.

I followed both tutorials and Startup Repair claimed that nothing was wrong. I restarted the computer and it still will not login. Any other ideas? Thanks.

In the Mark Partition Active tutorial, you can Select Partition on the 100mb and Win7 partitions, then type Detail Partition to see which is now marked Active.

Copy and paste these lines in Note pad.

ipconfig /flushdns
netsh winsock reset all
netsh int ip reset all

Save as flush.bat to your desktop.

Right click and run as Administrator, your computer will reboot itself.

I successfully installed both ImgBurn as well as QuickHeal. Can you help me out with writing the CD? I'm a bit perplexed. Thanks.

How do I boot up to cd?

 

[karlsnooks]

Well you virtual genius. Have you ever booted up a computer?

Have you ever put a cd into a reader.

Just do it.

If it doesn't work you let us know.

I know I probably sound like an idiot. Sorry. I'm really not, I've just never done anything like this before really.

I put it in right after I made it and it didn't work, that's why I was confused.
