Google does not load on my computer??? - GoFuckYourself.com

HandballJim · 05-05-2009, 09:50 PM

I need some advice guys, several years ago I had gotten a virus or spyware on my computer running xp pro, and I did end up getting rid of the spyware somehow. I usually use yahoo, but noticed a couple of years ago that google no longer loads on my computer...and now it seems that youtube will not let me long in. It does not work in both IE and firefox.

I get this message below, any advice to fix this issue...cause I need to be able to log into youtube. thanks

I'd wipe it and reinstall. You can clean spyware off, but some spyware isn't picked up by the removal tools. It's possible to go in and manually do it, but I'm partial to a fresh install just to make sure it's clean.

Your computer might run a little snappier with a fresh install without all the junk on it that accumulates after a while, too.
