If I remember back to my Sims days when I was like 11, Simslice is where its at. And thats a rather shady site. I suggest the first thing you do when you get your system running is to uninstall all that crap. That is why you avoid shady sites, unless you have a secure OS, like Gentoo. FP Nappylicious Posted at 9:33 pm on Jan. 6, 2007 after this i wont be playing the sims for a while. it took me years to ammass that many downloads and some sites are closed or paysites now :o( I Am the Underdog Posted at 9:31 pm on Jan. 6, 2007 Quote: from FurryPanther at 9:27 pm on Jan. 6, 2007 Quote: from Nappylicious at 10:27 pm on Jan. 6, 2007 yeah but this never happened! If you downloaded it from the Sims official website, I doubt that was the cause. FP Who does that? If I remember back to my Sims days when I was like 11, Simslice is where its at.

Welcome to the world of Microsuck. If I had to guess, I'd say you have a corrupted system file, making recovery without reinstallation impossible. If safe mode doesn't work, there isn't much you can do besides recover what you can, and reinstall Windows.

Forgive me if I'm dead wrong. But if she puts her HD into another PC, then if its a virus, wouldn't the other PC have a risk of being subjected to the virus? And then wouldn't she just install the virus back on when she put her files on her PC? Possible. Make sure your software is up to date. That should be enough to protect you. Though I'd guess a worm over a virus.
