    Computer issue

    Basically the computer starts up fine, no beeps etc...

    When it reaches the desktop i can click on icons to highlight but double click does nothing. I can't click on the ballon that pops up for updates, start button or even the menu bar. I don't know what to do. There is a RUNDLL error that occurs but i don't think its relevant to anything of great importance... "mykxyqty.dll" probably just a useless dll for one of my brothers games or something nothing about it on google.

    Any ideas anyone?

    Re: Computer issue

    When you look at your system directory or the directory of any game, you will notice a trend: All the file names have a descriptive name. That's a random file name and it is almost certainly part of a trojan. Spyware/Trojans sometimes randomize their filename in an attempt to prevent easy notice by the casual user. Giving them a .dll extension and launching them with rundll is a slightly stronger sneaky way, and you fell for this one. You need to restart into safe mode and download/run spybot s&d. In my experience, it's the best free one available right now.

    Re: Computer issue

    On this specific computer F8 leads to a screen which allows me to select which drive to load from whilst the delete key allows me to enter the BIOS settings. Any ideas?

    The Runtime error might have something to do with it since the error message appears. What does message that appears say?
