H&M and IKEA stuff gone

[jolrei]

Well if you left deamon to default install, you should have a little icon in your icon tray by your clock.

And if not, the install of daemon should have created a daemon tools folder in your "Program Files" folder somewhere.  Just launch Daemon from there and it should load the lightning bolt thing - sometimes it's red, incidentally (or seems to be on my system)

Heh, it's there, only it's silver, not green or red, and I was right-clicking instead of left-clicking.

H&M is done! Now IKEA ...

Maybe they have updated. I should probably go see. As mine is usually green or red.

I deleted the IKEA folders. Most of the folders I mentioned them having didn't have common files, or equivalents, with other SPs, and what's worse, avast! caught something when I tried accessing a file in them. Right now I'm getting two new torrents.

They update reasonably regularly and provide new and whizzy "features", most of which are unnecessary, it would seem.  I have never had problems with the version I have, and it was not the latest version when I downloaded it over a year ago.  I only want it to mount torrents.  I don't need it to make me coffee and caek as well (would probably just make insipid coffee anyway).

Yes, this happens occasionally.  Best to run with torrents that have a few comments so you can see the ones where people said "ZOMG! Torrentvirus ate my OS!!11" or some such, and avoid them.

Good point, I'll see to that.

Sorry about the double post (and this isn't the first time  ). Comp has a virus again, though I'm not sure if it has anything to do directly with any downloads.

The new IKEA Stuff folder gave me quite a few .RARs and file with these instructions:

Installation:

1. Unrar.
2. Burn or mount the image.
3. Install the game. Use the keygen in the Crack directory on the disc when
   prompted for a key.
4. Copy the cracked executable over from the Crack directory on the disc to
   your installation\TSBin directory.
5. Play the game.

Who wants to translate into simple, SuperScarlett-level English?

If you google-fu something like "how to install a torrent," and/or "using a cracked key," or anything close to what you are trying to do, there will be a number of sites from which to choose that will explain in SuperScarlett English.   eHow is a good site for information.

Installation:

1. Unrar.  This is Duh.
2. Burn or mount the image. Use your shiny new Daemon Tools to mount the image inside the rars to a virtual drive. You've been given help on this program already and it really isn't that hard. Read the buttons in the program! It tells you what it does!
3. Install the game. Use the keygen in the Crack directory on the disc when
   prompted for a key. Also not hard. Did you even LOOK in the Crack folder before declaring you couldn't do this? Protip: One file is the sims2 exe and one is not. Guess what they do.
4. Copy the cracked executable over from the Crack directory on the disc to
   your installation\TSBin directory.
5. Play the game.


Seriously, it's not that hard. The directions are oh-so-complicated and scary, but if you just use your brain and read the information already provided to you in this thread and the helpfiles within the Daemon Tools program, this is cake. Your download came with instructions for goodness' sake.

If you have a virus, use Avast antivirus's Scan on boot option and let it run untill it's done, also, get malwarebytes and run that afterward, preferably in safe mode.
http://www.malwarebytes.org/
You should be able to just use malwarebytes, but if it's that Vundo trojan thing then running it first may cause BSOD.

I'm... not sure it can get simpler. You know what you did with the other SP? Well do the same thing here. Use your compressorizing program(WinRar) and extract the files. If they are labeled .r01, .r02, and ect, then extract the first one and the others should follow on their own. If they do not, then Highlight all of them and extract all.
You will then have files of one of the kind I mentioned before, an ISO, or Bin and Cue, or MDS and MFS. Just mount the file with Daemon like you did with the other, if you don't know which file to mount, then try each of them in turn. Only the right one to mount will work. Once it is mounted, go into My Computer, right click, Explore. There will be a Folder named "crack" in there. Inside that folder should be the Keygen and the No cd. I would go download a newer No cd as that one may be dated. Once the game is installed, patch it, and use the no-cd.

Well, I'm pretty sure no one told me what burning and mounting are, until morriganrant just now told me that it's the same thing I did before. I'd have been able to figure out 3-5, but if I couldn't get past 2, does it make a difference?

Asinine Airhead == good description for me. This is Duh.

It was the same virus, morriganrant, so I did the same thing you told me to do before and it worked out fine. The point I was trying to make was that it might take me a while to respond etc.

Burn, means to burn it to a cd and use it like a normal cd. Mount it means to use something like deamon and to use it as a virtual cd.

Thank you!

Unfortunately when I try to unRAR it tells me that some of the files are corrupt, so it doesn't extract any of them. Back to work ...

ETA: My bad, I don't think it's finished downloading yet. Guess I should've checked first 

ETA (2.0): Case closed! Both have been successfully restored. Thanks, to everyone!
