Trojan?
Ok my roomate was playing a prank on his friend, and got on his friends laptop, and downloaded a whole bunch of porn through limewire...
Now when he tries to power on the machine it goes through the first screen( has the manufacturers logo, and the option to boot to bios etc...) then before it boots the os (windows 32) a quick blue screen with code flashes, not long enough for you to read it or press the pause button to stop the screen, and then reboots all over again...
I dont know if this is a Trojan or virus or whatever it is, but I have figured out that it is not something hardware related because I have a knoppix std live disc that i put in... and it ran that fine, even the fan (which i thought could be the issue) would turn on!
Could anyone tell me what this is, and how to fix it?
