    Hey Ive got some sort of virus and have been trying alot of different things to fix it..This site has helped me so far with reading other posts, but the issue im having is running ms dos prompt...I think maybe my pc was hijacked, when i go to run and type command to start the procedure a box comes up that says C:\WINDOWS\system32\command.com
    C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\AUTOEXEC.NT. The system file is not suitable for running MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows applications. Choose 'close' to terminate the application.

    That is one problem... but im not sure if that is even an issue...My homepage always says about blank, and after I installed sbc online protection it always says a new program installed when ive already checked it off.. I seem to have gotten rid of the popups, but i still think there is some sort of virus or some1 is hacking into my system...if any1 knows anything about these issues or a good free anti virus program please reply thank you...

    Welcome to Majorgeeks!

    This is not a malware problem but there is something missing from your OS.
    You did not indicate which OS you have so you will have to choose from the below.

    For Windows XP Pro: download and run XPproFix
    For Windows XP Home: download and run XPHomeFix
    For Windows 2000: download and run: W2KFix

    That should fix the above problem.

    If you believe you have malware problems, 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.
