Certain pages wont load or download content i am requesting. These are completely random sites i hardly ever go through.

Some programs stopped working ie. aim, msn, byond, station launchpad.

I've gone through every tutorial i could find and i found nothing helpful

*Sniffs* i smell a virus :P.

This should be in Computers & Tech

This has nothing to do with byond..

Sounds like system file corruption. This can be caused by all kinds of things, including, but not limited to: Viruses, Bugs, Buggy Drivers, Buggy Program installs, harddrive malfunction, improper shutdown during update, and about a million other things.

The quickest thing I can suggest is to go to Start>Run>"cmd">"chkdsk". This will run Windows harddrive partition test. With the -f switch it can attempt to fix it if it finds anything, but it can only fix it after you run "chkdsk -f" and it asks you if you want to run at next startup, because it can't fix problems when the files it is attempting to move/fix are actively being use(Not safely at least)

You may also want to try a different anti-virus, just for safety. Clamwin portable is a great way to run a scan without actually installing another antivirus. http://portableapps.com/apps/utilities/clamwin_portable
Along with another virus scanner, you might want to try some spyware/adware scanning. Spybot Search and Distroy and Adaware both function GREAT and are FREE.

Aside from that, reinstalling Windows will probably fix the problem, but if it is hardware malfunction, reinstalling won't do anything.

Also: Are you really incorporated? Or did you just feel like sounding fancy? Something tells me you just feel like sound fancy, in which case I call you silly. Black Ice Entertainment or Black Ice Productions sounds just as good, and doesn't come with a lie about being incorporated.

Except I'll still call him silly, because he's pretending to be a company when he's not.

You can be a company easily. Just start calling yourself Android Data Enterprises (you can't use stuff like inc.). Of course, a sole-proprietorship has its issues. Your company *is* you, so when the company runs out of money, the banks come knocking at *your* door. With something like a corporation, a seperate legal entity, this doesn't happen.

i got this from chkdsk

In response to Black Ice Inc.
Run "chkdsk -f", it will tell you that it can't fix errors while the drive is being used and ask you if you want to scan on next reboot. Allow it then reboot, let it scan. If a lot of luck, you might just have a working system once it starts up.

ive cleared the viruses and spyware and ran chkdsk...only msn and 1 website started to work

Trojans don't clear off that easily, a trojan is more likley to be a hacker rather than a bug, so I suggest you reformat your computer.

WHAT?! Don't tell him to format his computer over that, that's a bad idea. He can just get a good virus scanner and it'll handle those no problem.

avast is a good one you can tell it to do a scan on the bootloader..

In response to A.T.H.K
Well, formatting it seems resonable since the problems didn't clear off after he deleted them. I also suggest using Kaspersky anti-virus, and Kaspersky Anti-Hacker they work great when dealing with trojans.

In response to Black Ice Inc.
If you want another anti-virus to install, I recommend AVG, but it is not a good idea to have two virus scanners installed at the same time. Might I ask your current one?

Also, for getting websites to work, try the steps outlined in this thread: [link]
