having mega probs with pc

[feva]

a couple of days a ago the pc was in the middle of a update when i knocked the plug out and ever since its either loaded up and wont do anything, or works just fine, some time it will work fine then go slow then stop, my brother had alook today and got the update on, and got it going fine but its just gone down on me there, if i run a hijack this and post the log is there anyone on here who can have a look and the log and advise me on it?

feva,
I don't think that you will have got a virus by pulling the plug out during a Windows update.

Is it a desktop PC or a laptop?
What operating system XP Vista or Win 7?

When you say it works slow then stops, do you mean it freezes and the screen is still lit or does the computer just shut down?
Do you get any error messages.

What exactly happened when you pulled the plug out, do you think it may have damaged the plug?

its a pc, and im using it now and it working fine just abit slower than normal, when it crashs, it freezes and wont let me do anything, and when it goes i cant switch it off it will only reset, and once ive had to that, it will load up as normal, but then wont do anything at all, it wont load up avast or super anti spy ware or virgin internet manager

Have you tried doing a system restore to a point before the last update?
