Computer Problem... Again

[Ethereal]

I fucking hate my computer. It's slow, unreliable, and leaks memory. And no matter WHAT I do, it always has some sort of Virus, Spyware, or Adware in it. I run Spybot S&D every Sunday, Defragment every Saturday, and use all of System Mechanics tools every Friday. You think it would be pretty clean, right? NO. I don't know how to fix all the other problems, but maybe you can help me with this one. Periodically, the Floppy Drive will run, like it's trying to eject a disk, but there isn't one in there. During that period, the computer will completely STOP. It's happened 3 times while I typed this post. What do you think this is? Hackers, some new virus, Jesus himself? Help plz.

Reformat. Lay of the porn and free msn smilies.

here's what you do.
1. Pick up computer
2. Kick the SH*@ out of the computer
3. Repeat step 2. if you are still pissed off.
4. Go buy another computer.

Or if you don't have the money, take the computer to a computer engineer guy or something, or delete all your files so that you can start fresh again.

How old is your computer anyway?

I would just get rid of that one and get a new one or have a friend build you one. Like my brothers friend did. Works great.

It's a Windows ME. I'm stuck with tjis one until I get a job that pays more than minimum wage.

Buy a Mac. Problem solved. I've had my mac for about 4 months now and never found a single virus.

[darkness-of-light]

had the same thing lol. windows ME sucks. My spyware protecter froze and i had to system restore my computer every 2 weeks and had to do the same things to it as you had almost every week. I had it for 10 years and it ruined my life for a while and thank god my bro and i paid 300 bucks for a friend to build one for us. I even had to stay off newgrounds for a while on my computer due to so many problems. I promise ya that you got to get XP and a dependable computer for XP as soon you get enough money. I tried to install XP on my first computer and it wouldnt install. So i had to live a while without a computer which sucked. I had a compaq computer from i think 1995 or 96.

Hope ya get it fixed soon

Windows ME definitely sucks.
Windows XP sucks too.
And I hear that hard-drives on DELL computers are suppose to go..
but yea.. it definitely pissed me off when using the PC on windows ME or XP... The 8 minutes for the PC to start up doesn't come close to my iMac.

Get a new computer, and this time don't do stuff that's not necessary.

-Ethereal-, get on AIM.

I'll give you steps to back it up and reformat because Windows ME is the whole problem.

Theres your problem! Family computers are notoriousley slow/crappy. Well, at least in my family.That's why I built my own Kick ass computer! Which I store in my room, and nooooo one else but me uses it. Bitchin'. So, secretley build your own computer, and then stash it in your closet. So you can know how these viruses got on the computer,
