I'm not really sure, but it is causing a huge amount of annoyance for me. When I boot up using Windows XP Pro, and log into my account it's all well and fine, BUT WHEN I TRY TO OPEN THE C: (AND OTHER DRIVES) DIRECTORY, I can't! All it does is crash the start bar and the task bar, AND THEN my CPU usage goes to 100% and never stops until I reboot/ shutdown etc. I do an online NA scan and a full system NA scan (Proper version with all updates and 2003), and it says I don't have a virus. I also scanned it with Ad-aware and Spybot S&D and a whole bunch of crazy bargain buddies and spyware shit came out. Even though I knew I haven't installed them. Also, everytime I log on to an account after everything has started up, I visit this website called www.popuppers.com and I get around 3-4 popups. However, I've blocked the site using IE. P.S. Where the fusk is Dela and Praetor. Ain't seem them around lately....
sorry bout the pc troubles not much help here saw Praetor post the other day dunno much about Dela yet still kinda new to the site DaOsT
Lot of viruses about at the moment i'm getting paraniod been sent the netsky b@mm virus 9 times over the past 3 days fortunatly my antivirus has stopped them dead.
Reformatting is the last thing I want to do. Anyone know where I can find out what virus I'm dealing with? Or does anyone already know??
Norton's telling me what i'm getting,i'm currently up to 16 hits at the moment now i'm starting to get paranoid.
If your sure it a virus and not something to do with windows, or your hard drive, then try another virus scanner. I use AVG free edition. http://www.grisoft.com/us/us_index.php
Well actaully, after exstensive research, I think this might be the cause of a corrupted explorer.exe Anyone know how to fix this apart from reinstalling window?
Here is the link to Symantec -- which will spell out the procedure you must follow to remove this annoying hijacker. http://sarc.com/avcenter/venc/data/adware.roimoi.html This should solve your problem.. ! _X_X_X_X_X_[small]Do It Right , and you will be a Happy Camper ! Take Care.[/small]
HijackThis is a good one to use with the other spyware apps. http://www.softpedia.com/public/cat/10/17/10-17-69.shtml You might give Firefox a try - built in popup stopper, no activex support and it doesn't suffer from the many vagaries associated with IE. http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/ _X_X_X_X_X_[small] JMLS-166S/Plextor PX-708A/Plextor Premium[/small]
Did the reformat help... I suggest using firefox cuz I believe it's better than IE... Also get an Antivirus/spyware program installed ASAP. I used AVG free ed. But got NAV2004...Nortan Anti-Vir.2004 Hoped this helped...
