no, ricci is just part of an old screenname I used to use. My desktop wallpaper is of a girl I found on ItsAndy.com and I cut it out and made the rest of the wallpaper myself. Its on Deviantart.com under the wallpapers->females section on like the second or thrid page.

I can't recall what software I applied and started getting all these pop ups. It's been a while since I started getting them. It could be the Areslite. I know its some form of virus or trojan or whatnot because I go downstairs and check on my DAD's computer and he doesn't have any of the problems I do on his computer.StlHakusho......You could be right , I seem to remember that site .....Areslite .....Its a P2P app as well isnt it ?

just uninstalled it. still getting problems.

yeah, it is. And it sucks too. I only used it once or twice.StlHakusho...The problem with those apps is they work ok ...but you always endup with adware , spyware and popups....Have you ever tried ....Pest Patrol , or SpySweeper .... and do you have anything set to ignore in Antispyware ?

dl65 I've got McAfee Anti Virus deal and Ad-Aware set up.StlHakusho...The other thing about those apps is when you uninstall them they usually leave there mark in the registry ....so you still end up with the crap .........You may have to go in there and clean it out .......Do you have registry first aid be any chance ?

dl65 no, but I can probably get it pretty easilyStlHakusho...do you have msn messenger ...if you do I can send it and the serial ...

dl65 StlHakusho...check you private message ....I sent you my hotmail address

dl65 StlHakusho....I sent it ...you may see the message about it being unsafe to open ...its clean
Let me know when you get it

dl65 I did it and it still didn't work. HOWEVER I noticed that my McAfee has been saying that its been deleting the same trojan over and over and over again. So I GOOGLED the trojan and this is what I found.

lloks like I may have found the source to the problem.StlHakusho...just read the link you sent ......I didnt see a SOLUTION unless I missed it ......what did you find ?

BTW did registry first aid find any invalid entries ?
I've found that app to be decent ....

let us know

dl65
yeah, it wound up deleting over a thousand entries (tee hee). I had to run it twice to get them all. Thanks for the app.

They seem to be stuck in the same spot we're in. Noone has been able to figure out the CAUSE or solution.
