I was on facebook and suddenly my antivirus program started getiing mutiple attacks from intrusive attacks, after I closed the window, I lost all sound and checked and my mixer functions had been removed from. then after a quick reboot, Explorer would not open up on startup but all the rest of my startup programs were running, I open the task manager and MS config to see that many basic services were stopped and unable to get running again, as well there is a new folder on my HD that is unopenable, saying that acess is denied to just double clicking it. Is there any way for me to save my PC with out a full HD format?
