Win32.pinfi Virus is a file infector. How your windows got corrupt I do not know. Follow those instructions on how to get rid of it. Unfortunately if your window's files are corrupt (which can be caused by many things including a virus) your best solution is to backup your Data, format your HD and reload Windows. No guide can help you correct corrupt files.

Your computer is in it's current state because of your latest actions of partial formatting ect... Until you do a complete format and reinstall windows properly nothing else will help you.

    • Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge sales are apparently terrible

      By RejZoR · Posted

      Of course the sales are bad. Who even asked for a thinner phone with way less battery? Lightness? It's still a giant brick, it's just a thinner giant brick. It makes no sense at all. Making folding phones thinner, now that does make sense. Because when folded, the thinner it is unfolded, the more usable and pocketable it is when folded. You already expect worse battery at expense of actually being more pocketable. Galaxy Flip, when folded is half the size of S Ultra models and about as thick. That does make a big difference when fitting it in a pocket. But the phone that's as big as Ultra, making it thinner, you don't really solve anything, it's still a giant slab that barely fits into a pocket. All the "Mini" phones made way more sense than this thin crap. Especially now that it's literally impossible to find a phone smaller than 6.5". My dad only needs phone for calls and SMS and he doesn't want to go with smartphone because they are all so massive. Especially cheaper ones. Like, he'd be fine with Galaxy A06 for all he cares in terms of hardware, but it only comes in giant 6.7" format. It's useless. Or is he suppose to find a 800€ old gen iPhone Mini or Zenfone? He doesn't even need those stupid specs and such stupid price. And then you see old people fumbling around with giant smartphones and they don't even need 3/4 of features on them.

    • Nvidia and Foxconn planning to deploy humanoid robots within months

      By neufuse · Posted

      its funny now instead of robots built for a specific task which is more efficient we are focused on humanoid robots that are built for do anything but might not do it as well because of restrictions similar to how human body works and they were molded after...
