    So I just downloaded this game, gunbound, and after I started the program my computer froze. I restarted it and then I noticed that all the text was very small. Like the program names, and the start menu and any other text is really small.
    I don't know how to explain other than showing you a picture.

    Notice how the text is realllllly small.
    I don't know what to do. Because all the programs I download their text is small so I can't really do anything.

    I found out how to get hijackthis tho.
    Here's my log.

    Edit: removed inline log

    PLEASE HELP IF U CAN

    Hi

    Not thinking that this was caused by a virus, but as you mentioned this only happened after installing this game... dependant on where you downloaded this game from it may have been infected with a virus.

    Have you tried to uninstall the game that caused this yet? Try Safe Mode to see if your text come back to normal, this will allow you to uninstall and even run some of the steps below.

    Also if you can get to it do a system restore back to a date before this game was installed.


    If its malware related, sadly we will need you to run the following:

    Please follow our standard cleaning procedures which are necessary for us to provide you support. Also there are steps included for installing, running, and posting HijackThis logs as attachments.
    • Run ALL the steps in this Sticky thread READ & RUN ME FIRST Before Asking for Support
    • Make sure you check version numbers and get all updates.
    • Very Important: Make sure you tell us the results from running the tutorial...was anything found? Were you unable to complete any of the scans?...Were you unable to download any of the tools?...Did you do the on-line scans as suggested? etc.
    • After doing ALL of the above you still have a problem make sure you have booted to normal mode and run the steps in the below link to properly use HijackThis and attach a log:
    Downloading, Installing, and Running HijackThis

    Make sure you also rename HijackThis.exe as suggested in the procedures. Use analyse.exe for the new name. This is very important due to some new infections going around.


    • When you return to make your next post, make sure you attach the following logs and that you have run these scans in the following order too:
      • CounterSpy
      • AVG Antispyware log - ONLY IF NEEDED you were not able to run CounterSpy
      • Bitdefender - from step 6
      • Panda Scan - from step 6
      • runkeys.txt - the log from GetRunKey.bat
      • newfiles.txt - the log from ShowNew.bat
      • HijackThis
    NOTE: You can only attach 3 files in a single message so it will require that you use two messages to attach all of these logs!
