no, just recently un-installed it. it's not d-tools. i'm starting to think most of it is'nt mal-stuff. but the one that says "access denied" has me half cocked. i very much appreciate the reply, but my prob.might run a little deeper. any other input? thanks in advance. eric
fair enough. maybe you can shed a little light on the root of my problem(I'M SURE YOU'RE MUCH MORE KNOWELGABLE THAN I). a few weeks ago my daughter really f@%*ed up my comp. i was able to salvage most of my stuff, but... now some of my folders(like LOCAL SETTINGS) are invisible to windows. which, i'm sure is why rootkit rev. is flaging those addresses. why did that happen and how can i fix it? i'm sure thats a bit vague, but thats all i'm sure of. thanks 1,000,000 kotaguy
Could try showing hidden files/folders... [*]Close all programs so that you are at your desktop. [*]Double-click on the My Computer icon (or click Start, then select My Computer) [*]Select the Tools menu and click Folder Options. [*]After the new window appears select the View tab. [*]Put a checkmark in the checkbox labeled Display the contents of system folders. [*]Under the Hidden files and folders section select the radio button labeled Show hidden files and folders. [*]Remove the checkmark from the checkbox labeled Hide file extensions for known file types. [*]Remove the checkmark from the checkbox labeled Hide protected operating system files. [*]Press the Apply button and then the OK button and shutdown My Computer. See if that helps.
