Title: RA2 Not Starting
Post by: Alterer of Reality on May 02, 2009, 12:29:18 PM: For some reason, my computer has stopped running anything that I want to. I have been unable to run RA2, along with several other games and applications such as Spore and Microsoft Word. This is really ticking me off because I had several great ideas for bots which I cannot make now.

Please assist.

Post by: Hydro on May 04, 2009, 07:02:54 PM: yeah. viruses only attack programs/files.

salvage what you can and wipe the drive. then reinstall windows (or whatever the operating system is).

yeah that's right but we don't actually know what conficker does
it could be that conficker makes it unpossible for the user to reinstall
all the programs i don't know for sure but microsoft has a reward of a few million dollar for the solution against conficker
it's a very strange virus
really you have to make a backup soon and reinstall before it's to late
conficker also makes computers ZOMBIES and when your computer is a zombie, it sends virusses to other computers and has a total control over your pc

now i hope that it's all gonna be ok

There are third party applications that can remove it, and it is not the end of the world, or your computer for that matter.
