Solve : Need help with installing AVG 8.5?

Answer»

Hi everyone,
How is everyone doing?
My mom's computer is having problems with getting AVG 8.5 installed properly and we are having a terrible time getting it installed properly. We get a message when trying to install it which we don't understand or how to EVEN do what it says that we need to do.

Attention!
Installer has DETECTED that there is an outdated version of the program.
Roxio Easy CD & DVD Creator, which contains a bug that [among others]
can cause problems with AVG 8.5.
We recommend you to update this software prior to installation of AVG 8.5.
An update package is available on the Roxio web page.



Questions about the above message we get:
1. Also, why would the cd & dvd creator have anything to do with AVG? We don't understand it at all. This is one of the other big reasons we run into so many problems with trying to follow instructions on how to remove malware, viruses, spyware, all that stuff. We run into so many problems like the above when following the instructions on sites. We always just CALL a repairman to help out with the stuff since it's so confusing, and they even have problems too.
My computer is all messed up too due to viruses, spyware, all that stuff. Which is why I'm using my mom's at the moment. But hers is all messed up too as you can see, and all the stuff it says to do is very confusing to us.






Quite honestly I would just FORGET AVG and install either Avast or Avira. They are WAY less problematic.

Avast! Home Free Edition

Avira AntiVir Personal amyr7 , i've had avg for 6 years and its giving trouble now ( avg 8.5 ) so i'm doing

what evil said and taking it out for avast , harry

Solve : Better but not quite right?

Answer»

Hi Folks,
A simple thank you first for taking up the torch for the fight against Malware...hip hip hooray!
Okay, I performed all the tasks in the "Malware Removal Steps" and things are running good, but I know they can run better.
Basic Problems:
-Takes a long time to boot up
-Internet takes a long time to load
-Occasional "kick off" of internet..not often
-Internet is sluggish
I know this may take a while so I'll get in line and be thankful
thanx again

You have a downloader trojan called Downloader.Agent.awf or Downloader.Agent.ayy. This trojan replaces legitimate files that are common on most computers with an INFECTED file. It then moves the legitimate file to a "bak" or backup folder. Please follow the directions below to run FindAWF so we can identify the files that have been infected and the backups then restore them.

It's fairly easy to remove the AWF infection but it's a 4 step process so just bear with me.

Step 1

Uninstall any of the following program(s) using Add/Remove Programs if they are present. To do this, go to Start > Control Panel and double-click on Add/Remove Programs. From within Add/Remove Programs highlight each one and select Remove.
Doginhispen
Skitodayplease


If your homepage has been changed, go to Start > Control Panel > Internet Options > General Tab and under Home Page, click Use Default. Add default homepage you want to use and click Apply > then OK. Open a new web browser and check to ensure you have the default homepage you selected. When done, Clear your browser history by following the instructions provided for your web browser.


Download FindAWF.exe by Noadfear to your Desktop.

  • Double-click FindAWF.exe to start the tool.

  • If a Security Alert shows, allow the program to run.
  • As instructed, press any key to continue.
  • Select option #1 - Scan for bak folders by typing 1 and press 'Enter'
  • When the tool has completed, a report will open up in notepad.
  • Please post the results of the awf.txt in your reply.
ok all done...log from awf follows:


Find AWF report by noahdfear ©2006
Version 1.40

The current date is: Mon 03/23/2009

end of report
Well it looks like ComboFix took care of them for us.

How is the computer running now?excellent...like brand new....you really know your stuff...what's next?
    Since there was some rootkit activity then I think it would be a good idea to run an actual virus scan to be sure we haven't missed anything.

    You can delete FindAWF.

    • Click START then RUN
    • Now type Combofix /u in the runbox
    • Make sure there's a space between Combofix and /u
    • Then hit Enter.
    • The above procedure will:
    • Delete the following:
    • ComboFix and its associated files and folders.
    • Reset the clock settings.
    • Hide file extensions, if required.
    • Hide System/Hidden files, if required.
    • Set a new, clean Restore Point.

    I'm not going to insist you remove this but do be aware that probable over 75% of cracks contain some form of malware and is likely the source of your problems. The people who host these are CROOKS. How can you trust them?

    Unistall LOP S&D

    Click START then RUN
    Now type C:\Lop SD\Uninstal.exe in the runbox.

    Then click OK.

    ----------

    • Click START then RUN
    • Now type Combofix /u in the runbox
    • Make sure there's a space between Combofix and /u
    • Then hit Enter.
    • The above procedure will:
    • Delete the following:
    • ComboFix and its associated files and folders.
    • Reset the clock settings.
    • Hide file extensions, if required.
    • Hide System/Hidden files, if required.
    • Set a new, clean Restore Point.
    .
    ----------

    Use the Kaspersky Lab Online Scanner

    In Microsoft Windows Vista, you must open the Web browser using the Run as Administrator command. From the Desktop right click the icon to open the browser and choose Run as Administrator.

    • Click on SCAN NOW
    • Click Accept.
    • The program will then begin downloading the latest definition files.
    • Once the files have been downloaded locate the Scan Settings and have it scan My Computer.
    • The scan will take a while, so be patient and let it finish.
    When the scan is done, in the Scan is complete window, any infection is displayed.
    There is no option to clean/disinfect, however, we need to analyze the information on the report.

    To obtain the report:
    Click on: Save Report As
    • Next, in the Save as prompt, Save in area, select: Desktop.
    • In the File name area use KScan, or something SIMILAR.
    • In Save as type: click the drop arrow and select: Text file [*.txt]
    • Then, click: Save


    Copy and paste the Kaspersky Online Scanner Report in your next reply.

    Note for Internet Explorer 7 users: If at any time you have trouble viewing the accept button of the license, click on the Zoom tool located at the bottom right of the IE window and set the zoom to 75%. Once the license is accepted, reset to 100%.

    Hi evilfantasy, yes I'll happily remove that crack file! And here is the Kaspersky log:

    You can find free alternatives to almost any software made. This list has some very good picks for all types of software and everything listed in it is 100% free for home use.Done - and in answer to your question, it runs like a brand new car, but without that new car smell. You sir are a prince among men! (Or if female, the princess thing).

    Many many thanks!Quote from: Arbeloa on March 28, 2009, 10:06:10 AM

    Solve : Malware/Virus problem?

    Answer» Delete An Uninstall Entry
    • Start HijackThis
    • Click on the OPEN the Misc Tools section
    • Click on the Open Uninstall Manager button.
    • Highlight the entry you want to remove, My Way Search Assistant
    • Click Delete this entry
    .
    That should be all.Thank you for that.

    I started HijackThis and opened the uninstall manager but could not find "My Way Search Assistant" on the list. My Way Search Assistant is still on the list when I go to Add Remove Programs in Windows, however. It is listed as being used rarely and it shows nothing for file size. Unlike everything else on the list of currently installed programs, when you click My Way Search Assistant to highlight it, you do not see a "change" or "Remove" button. Any further thoughts?

    Regards,
    WJKIVDownload Registry Searchby Bobbi Flekman
    (see the link titled RegSearch Download Link)
    • Extract the files from Regsearch.zip into a folder.
    • Doubleclick regsearch.exe to start the program.
    • Enter My Way Search Assistant in the top area of the form and then click "OK".
    • Notepad will be opened with text in it (the file named RegSearch.txt will be saved in the program's folder as well).
    • Add the contents of the Notepad file to your next reply.
    Thank you.

    I downloaded and ran regsearch.exe and it PRODUCED a log in Notepad with the following information:

    Make sure that you tell me if you receive a SUCCESS message about adding the above to the registry. If you do not get a success message, it did not work.

    Delete the fixme.reg from the Desktop.Thank you. Okay, I copied the code you sent and saved in notepad as fixme.reg. I answered yes and I did indeed receive a message that it was successfully added to the registry. I deleted fixme.reg from the desktop.

    That should have gotten rid of the leftovers.

    Let us know if anything else comes up.

    Safe surfing...Well, that seems to have done it, the leftovers are gone!

    Again, thank you very MUCH for all your time and patience to help me. There is no way I could have cleared this problem on my own. Please know that you are doing a great service and people like myself, who are completely unknown to you out here in cyberspace, really do appreciate what you're doing. It's nice to know that there are people like you who selflessly seek to do good to help protect those of us from people who seek to do wrong. I hope to soon follow your EXAMPLE. God bless you and thank you. Keep up the good work!

    Solve : SUPER antispyware - can I run it alongside AVG Antivirus?

    Answer» HELLO

    I JOINED today because I needed to get rid of a Trojan and I used the advice in your forums. As instructed I downloaded and ran SUPERAnti-spyware and fingers crossed it has detected and sorted the problem.

    My question is this. Is is okay to have SUPERanti-spyware and AVG running at the same time on my PC?

    Thank you

    Sol If you are using the free version of SAS then it offers no real time PROTECTION and adjusting the settings in the guide will ensure it does not run at startup.

    AVG and SAS will run along with each other as long as you are using the free version of AVG. The paid version of AVG has antispyware protection and just like antivirus and FIREWALLS you only want to run one at a time.

    1 antivirus
    1 firwall
    1 real time antispyware

    You can have multiple antispyware software installed and run them as needed.Thank you for your speedy reply, it's set my mind at rest.

    This site is awesome!!!

    I just emailed tech support for PC Tools to see if they can give me more information on why Spyware Doctor is causing the firewall to not operate.Did you reinstall Spyware Doctor?yes, I only had it uninstalled long enough to run malewarebytes.It seems whenever you have it installed it is interfering with the firewall.

    Why I don't KNOW. You can ask here > http://www.pctools.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=54

    You might just consider using something different.I just downloaded PC Tools firewall and everything seems to be working fine now.

    Thanks again for all the help!OK.

      Thanks !

      Very unlikely, though possible. The best way to avoid it is to keep the software up-to-date, which can be done via the Package Manager in the Admin CP.Denial-of-service attack also called a DOS Attack.Quote from: evilfantasy on March 28, 2009, 09:47:56 AM
      Denial-of-service attack also called a DOS Attack.

      Well, actually the main concern is SQL injection.

      Basically entering SQL commands into a text field. If the field has no vaildation KEY, entering the RIGHT (or wrong ) code could simply delete the database.DROP or ALTER. Of COURSE you would need to know the table names, but they aren't to hard to get from the smf docs.Quote
      a malicious script that can overwhelm the Database ?

      Could they actually mean server?

      I think a DOS Attack would be the most likely place to begin investigating. Quote from: evilfantasy on March 28, 2009, 10:38:32 AM
      Could they actually mean server?

      Ah, I doubt it. SMF is SECURE enough to disallow that.I mean it sounds like the server is being over loaded by a DOS style attack. It's a pretty common way for someone with a grudge against a web site to seek revenge.

      Solve : Malware possibly causing an application error?

      Answer»

      Hi,
      I am trying to run Mendeley on my XP system
      (XP Pro ver 5.1 Build 2600.xpsp_sp3_gdr.080814-1236 ; Service Pack 3 v5657)
      Pentium D CPU 2.80 Ghz
      2/79 Ghz 1.96 Ram

      The error I get when I try to run Mendeley is:
      The instruction at "Oxoo5015e1" referenced memory at "0x00000014". The memory could not be "read"
      Ok to terminate
      Cancel to debug

      Nothing works



      [attachment deleted by ADMIN]EVERYTHING in the MBAM log says No action taken. Did you let MBAM remove them after copying the log?Hi,

      I actually work at Mendeley, so it'd be great if I could find out what's GOING on here, so we can fix the problem in our software.

      Firstly I'd like to assure you that this software is not Malware. We have absolutely no malicious intents with our software, and this crash you're seeing looks much worse than it really is.

      Have you ever got Mendeley Desktop working, or did this error message appear UPON your first run of our software?

      Thanks,

      MustaqilHello mustaqil.ali.

      Your software may be being effected by the malware. Once we get that cleaned lets see if the problem is still present. That's if socprof REPLIES again.

      Empty ALL Norton/Symantec Quarantine files. GUIDE: Removing files from Norton AntiVirus Quarantine

      How is the computer running now?Hi evilfantasy

      Could not locate files in Norton Quarantine so removed manually, also rebooted, but problems still there. must admit PC seems to be running a little better after all the scans. I am gratefull for all your help, but unless you have any other ideas I guess a new install would be the only option. Great to know there are guys like you to help us lesser mortals.I don't think it is a malware issue. None of the files listed in the Bad Image error are malicious.

      You could try running sfc /scannow.

      Place your XP CD ROM drive and follow the instructions below:
      • Click on Start > Run and type sfc /scannow then press Enter (note the space between scf and /scannow)
        • Let this run undisturbed until the window with the blue progress bar goes away
      SFC - Which stands for System File Checker, retrieves the correct version of the file from %Systemroot%\System32\Dllcache or the Windows installation source files, and then replaces the incorrect file.Hi evilfantasy

      Tried your last suggestion and completed scan. Unhappy to say that problems still exist. Would like to thank you for your time and effort in helping to resolve the problem it is most appreciated. I'm not sure what it could be...

      Solve : Trojans and such?

      Answer»

      My parents computer showed signs of infection yesterday, so I'm trying to clean it up. It sounds similar to recent trojans (SHeur2.gas, etc.) that have been DISCUSSED on this forum. It turned the firewall off, turned off automatic updates, wouldn't allow AVG to connect, went to random websites when links from clicked from google search, pop-ups were GALORE EVEN with pop-up blocker on, computer was slower than usual, and the list goes on. I followed Disabled TDSSserv.sys (because it would not allow me to download certain apps needed), Ran AVG update, went through add/remove progams, ran House Cleaning, ran Super Anti-Spyware

      Links are working, firewall is back on, AVG is connecting, Automatic Updates is working again.

      I am getting a message about a script that should be closed, and I've never seen that before, so I don't know if it relates to this issue or not.

      Is the computer cleared up now, or do I need to FOLLOW more steps? I would appreciate any advice.

      Thanks!
      Also, the most (if not all) pictures are not showing up on websites, so there is still something going on.Sorry for the long wait. We are VERY backed-up right now! If you still require assistance, please do the following...

      Please print these instructions as they will be needed later when Internet access is not available.

      Download SDFix by AndyManchesta and save it to your desktop. http://rapidshare.com/files/156236231/SDFix.exe.html

      When using this tool, you must use the Administrator's account or an account with Administrative rights

      • Double-click SDFix.exe and it will extract the files to %systemdrive% (this is the drive that contains the Windows Directory, typically C:\SDFix).
      • DO NOT use it just yet.
      Reboot your computer in Safe Mode using the F8 method. To do this, restart your computer and after hearing your computer beep once during startup (but before the Windows icon appears), press the F8 key repeatedly. A menu will appear with several options. Use the arrow keys to navigate and select the option to run Windows in "Safe Mode".

      Open the SDFix folder and double-click RunThis.bat to start the script.

      Solve : Avast?

      Answer»

      Hello everyone,

      I have decided to GIVE Avast Anitvirus a try, and have a couple of questions. First of all,unless I am missing it, I cannot find a way to set up a DAILY scan..............SECONDLY a question regarding the scanning options. I am looking for the best of both worlds, quick & thorough scans, that being said, is it necessary to scan the archived files everytime?

      Thanks,


      i did the same to-day i'll wait for the answers to if you dont mind , help will come Unless you do a lot of unsafe surfing or downloading risky files a quick scan should be sufficient. And you should only need to do one weekly, or every other week.

      Personally I don't do virus scans with Avast, rather when I do a virus scan I will run an online scan from BitDefender or ESET. I figure if something got in and Avast didn't catch it then doing a scan with it won't be much better.

      HOW TO: Scheduled AUTOMATIC Scans w/ Avast! Free Version!

      BitDefender Online Scanner
      ESET Online Antivirus Scanner

      Solve : Will USA move up from second place in Malware servers??

      Answer»

      Will USA move up from second place in Malware SERVERS?

      Just read a news item that claims about 52% of know Mal ware servers in in China or have IP address in China. Bit the USA has only 21%,
      so that leads to the question:

      How can the US ever catch up with the Chinese?

      Aster all, didn't the US invent Mal ware?
      Is this PART of the reason for hard economic times?
      At this RATE, they will take over the Mal ware business and our Mal ware factories will lay off even more workers.

      (I as going to save this for Wednesday, but thought I would start the thread now and by April 1 there may be use helpful COMMENTARY on this vital issue.)
      China, Russia, Ukraine.

      At least that's what I normally see in logs. This is pretty cool. McAfee maps malware risk domains

      I don't think the US will ever get too high up the list. We have laws and actually enforce them so there is a bigger risk for setting up shop here.

There are 2 accounts on this box, mine, which is Fred, and my son's, which is Alex. I just went in and changed his home page in IE7, after doing that, he re-booted, and the Alex account no longer seems to work. The name of this computer is IONE-amd-ABIT, for the case, cpu and motherboard.

      Under c:\documentsandsettings, my account is still there, and his old one, for Alex is still there also. But now there's one called Alex.IONE-amd-ABIT, and when he logs in, that's the one he gets, and all his old setting are gone. Did we do something wrong, and is there any way to fix it so when he logs in, the old Alex account will be the one we access?We haven't done anything since running ComboFix yesterday. Try a System Restore to when you uninstalled ComboFix.

      How do I restore Windows XP back to an earlier copy?Got no restore points. I do remember when I started all this, I got a message somewhere that said the "Recovery console wasn't installed, do I want to install it now?" I skipped that. Is the recovery console the same as system restore? I thought not.Quote
      Is the recovery console the same as system restore?

      No it's basically a partition which can be used for emergency repairs. You don't need it now.

      I'm really not sure why the settings "forgot" where they were. I'm also not sure how you would get them back to where they were without manually adjusting them again. I've seen browsers "forget" before but I'm not sure I've seen a profile do this before.After doing some searches on "corrupt ntuser.dat", it looks like that's what happened. I did and XP repair from the XP SP3 CD, and just moved his old folders to his new identity. All is good. I'm going to do the final Secunia check and make sure all is up to date, and then download the free programs you suggest.
      Again, i can' t thank you enough for your help. This forum is a life saver. I'll be keeping and EYE on it in the future, as well as watching out for conficker.

      That's great. But what do you do when you can't boot into Windows. I can't GET into the safe mode either. It's XP.That's most likely not a virus. Not in the MBR anyway.

      Has ANYONE ever got a bug in the pc that is saying:"WINDOWS INSTALLER". I bought this pc used for a year, and no expert( aquaintances) has been able to even remember anyone getting this "Bug?".
      It happens when I'm begging to open google earth or other programs, and sometimes ramdomly. I have had that problem (slows the opening of windows) since I bought it. Does anyone here know what that is?
      CHECK out this link to remove the Installer program.

      http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301It hasn't HAPPEN as often lately. Even that link when I try to get there it takes me nowhere.

      Java Runtime Environment 1.6.0.4Java Runtime Environment 1.6.0.4 is the one you want.

      After it is installed go into add/remove programs and uninstall the old version, it should be Java jre1.5.0_10 (or similar).Just want to make sure before I start this. I currently have J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 10 on my programs. This one is out of date?

      Solve : (Flash?) Cookies Problem?

      Answer»

      Hello again,

      I've got something of a cookie problem here. When i was trying to get onto Amazon.com i got a message
      "Please Enable Cookies to Continue. To continue SHOPPING at Amazon.com, please enable cookies in your Web browser."
      I hadn't realized i had disabled them, and going to check i saw that i hadn't.

      I had recently updated adobe though, and so i'm figuring it must be a flash cookie problem. MSN also isn't working now, once again i'm figuring a flash cookie problem.

      This seems like, hopefully, a standard problem, but i couldn't find any information on it. Know what's going on?I have no clue what flash cookies are, but saying Adobe, what Adobe product?i'm not entirely sure, i figured it might have even just been a group thing...
      i realise adobe has a LOT of products, but SINCE they do have a flash player and that involves flash cookies, and it started after i updated i figured it might be thatSo, you just updated Adobe Flash Player, when it started to happen?
      What browser are you using?Sorry for the late reply, was waiting for e-mail notification and didn't get one
      It was just an adobe update, if it updates the flash player then yea.
      I'm just using IE7
      It's GETTING really annoying, i'm now getting a bunch of SECURITY certificate mesages for websites i've never had a problem with before as wellInstall Firefox to see, if same thing happens.Try to completely remove flash player then reinstall it.

      Use the Adobe Online Uninstaller to get rid of all remnants.

      Then install a Fresh Version

      Well, I went to check the date on my computer today and found out it was August 13th... obviously incorrect. So i fixed that, and then all the other problems went away.

      Somehow that was connected with cookies?
      A friend of mine gave me a pretty hard time about how common a problem that is, although of course he never suggested it.
      So, i guess problem solved. Thanks for your help guys!Good news. Thanks for posting back

      You have the YOYO virus.

      Quote

      It stops you at your boot sequence and doesn't allow you to go any further when you reboot. At the bottom of the page it has the 'YoYo' emblem where the o's look like sideway 8's.

      There is little indication one has the virus until you reboot. In order to remove it, you have to wipe your C drive clean. Too bad if you don't have BACKUPS.

      Solve : HJT Runover please....?

      Answer»

      Hey guys, if someone COULD just look over this for me i'd really appreciate it, though first ill state the problem.
      Basically I gave my mate my Steam account, and the other day he said suddenly the password no longer worked, and steam returend him with an error of 'Incorect Username or Password', which got me suspicious. Anyway I got the Steam account back without any problems using Valve's password recovery procedure. He then got on, but told me that he was getting a latency averiging around 130 on some servers, again adding to my suspicions. Finally I decided to run a scan, and it came up with varius nasties, (below is a screen shot of them in the chest, complete with names and locations). Again today he tried logging in with the new password, and low and behold were locked out of the account again.
      The system is a Dell Optiplex 170L.
      Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
      Note: I think its worth mentioning I have installed Logmein on his computer and it has not been placed there malisciously. Also he installed the Google Toolbar himself, im assuming thats ok?!

      How you doing?!
      By the way, a slight problem with the Virus Chest images. At the moment our whole region is experiencing severe power-cuts, so posting the images is proving to be DIFFICULT, (I am writing this on my phone). I hope it doesnt hamper the help.
      Thanks alot

      ChrisIf you plan on posting a HJT log it is agvised to follow our Read First instructions so we can see the logs. It helps greatly when there is nothing in a HJT log that points to malware, like this one.

      Fix this entry with HJT.

      O2 - BHO: (no name) - {7E853D72-626A-48EC-A868-BA8D5E23E045} - (no file)

      You also have the old version of HJT. You can get the new one in the Read First thread.

      Also in the Read First instructions and follow the directions to update your Java.

      Are you still having problems?Chris was a frequent guest prior to the great work you guys have done in revising and updating the Security section...

      If he gives you a hard time or doesn't get up to speed fast enough let me know and i'll never send a box of Twinkies again... He better COME here with clean computer, or...no Twinkies...heheheSo from what you say I take it the HJT log is clean, meaning there is no Virus or other form of Malware running on the PC anymore.
      Thanks for the help so far.

      Chris
      HJT only shows some forms of malware. As I said without the other logs it is hard to know if something else may be going on. But YES the HJT log shows no malware.

      Solve : Is my computer the most infected in the world ever????

      Answer»

      Just a quick note.

      I am running the advice in "the what to do before you ask questions part of the forum" and waiting on the downloads completing.
      Just to let you know how bad this stupid machine of mine really is here are a few examples:

      1, I have Norton360 that keeps turning Auto-Protect off but live support tells me everything is OK with my system. Eventually it tells me to uninstall then reinstall (which i have DONE a thousand times to no avail). It then threatens me with a "browsing not safe" sign everytime i go online.

      2, I have One Click clean up which freezes every time it i try to run it.

      3, My DVD ROM drive did not work for 2 weeks (for no apparent reason it said my divice driver was goosed and would not update it)) till someone from this site set it right.

      If i don't NEED to buy a new machine and get this stupid thing to work like its MEANT to it will be miracle.

      I am new to this forum and hope someone can help.

      Any news (good or bad) i will keep you posted.The good news is we can most likely get things sorted out.

      The bad news is Norton.

      Try this. Use the Norton Removal Tool to completely uninstall Norton. Then try to reinstall it.

      A better suggestion would be to uninstall it and download the free version of AVG or Avast and try to forget you even know what Norton or Symantec is.

      No we are not fans of the product. There are too many reasons to list in one post.

      2. Windows online installation.
      3. Window's offline installation.

      I don't know which ones I want to complete the update 4 download and install.

      Thanks, Tchoice number 1 is for people who use 64 bit XP or Vista.
      If you use 32 bit windows (most people do) then choose either 2 or 3. It honestly doesn't make much difference which one you choose.
      The online installation is a very small download, but it download files during the installation.
      The offline installation is a larger download but doesn't download anything during the installation.I understand more now thanks.

      I believe I am 'most people' and use 32 bit Window's. I can choose the second or third download choice.

      I already DOWNLOADED the first choice 64 bit. Where do I go to remove it. It doesn't show up in my control panel and when I ran CCleaner 'tools' it wan't there either. I have an executable file sitting somewhere. What do you think I should do?If you don't use 64 bit windows you won't be able to install 64 bit Java.
      Have you tried to install it or just downloaded it?
      Quote

      I already downloaded the first choice 64 bit.
      You didn't install it, because it'd not let you, right?Search your computer for:
      jre-6u4-windows-x64.exe
      and delete it.It's icon is displayed on my desktop, it's properties path shows it sitting in the desktop. I don't know if it INSTALLED or not. I don't know how to find it to get rid of it before I mess something up.

      I see another response has already been sent to me and I will 'search' for it.You must know whether you've installed it or not.
      To install something you double click the file and go through a setup PROCESS. If you haven't done that it isn't installed and you can simply delete the file sitting on your desktop.Deerpark...
      As you said before 64-bit in no way will install on 32-bit. He'd receive an error message.The search did it, I looked at it's properties again and it read as:
      jre-6u4-windows-i586-p-iftw.exe

      Either way I found it now.

      Thanks, you guy's have not only taught me alot, one of the things is some confidence.Cool By the TIME we completely bugger your machine you'll be as confident as the rest of us...

      Actually it is clearly stated (even has a picture)

        Hi Broni and varun.

        To remove IE7

        First download the IE6 installer to the desktop just in case you need it. (don't install it)

      If you are unable to see IE7 in Add or Remove Programs follow these steps:
      • Click Start

      • Type or copy and paste, into the text box:
      • %windir%\ie7\spuninst\spuninst.exe
      • Then Press Enter
      • Restart your computer.
      .
      Now try to open internet explorer. If it doesn't work the run the installer for IE6 you just downloaded. If IE6 does work then delete the installer from the desktop.

      Solve : Malware/Spyware of some sort...?

      Answer»

      My problem:
      I keep getting the following (which is quite a hefty sum in my opinion):

      A pop up from an icon which is like a yellow upside down triangle with an explanation point which says:

      "Windows Antivirus"
      Windows has detected spyware infection!
      It is recommended to use special antispyware tools to prevent data loss. Windows will now DOWNLOAD the most up-to-date software for you. Click here to protect your computer from spyware!

      ...as well as random popups which say:

      "Windows Security Alert"
      Warning! Potential spyware operation!
      Your computer is making unauthorized copies of your system and
      Internet files. Run full scan now to prevent any unauthorized access
      to your files! Click here to download spyware remover.

      ... as well as:

      "System Integrity Scan Wizard"
      Warning: Your computer may have critical errors in Windows registry and file system!
      The registry and file errors lead to computer freezes, system crashes, and slowdowns, corruption of files and documents.
      Immediate system integrity scan and repair is strongly recommended.
      To scan your computer for errors please click the "Next" button below.


      ...There's also a red circle with a white X inside of it.

      ...My computer desktop also changes its background to say something about how my computer is infected and will not allow me to run control panel or change my computer properties.

      ...I've also noticed that when I run a search in Yahoo and click on one of the results, I'm taken to a webpage in which I did not click on and must copy the address from the result directly into the address bar. Random webpages pop up from time to time also.

      A. Scanned computer with ClamWin.92.
      1. Found no suspicious programs.
      2. Ran CCleaner.
      3. Ran SUPERAntiSpyware
      4. Ran DR. Web CureIt
      5. Working on updating Java. Not going very quickly with dial-up...
      6. Ran HijackThis.

      I've tried SmitFraud. This gets rid of it temporarily, but if I shut down or restart my computer, it's right back up. I've noticed the problem us much milder after all these scans, but it still pops up now and then.

      http://filehippo.com/download_avg_antivirus/

      try downloading thru this link ... once you visit above page, then on right side, click the link that say "Download Latest Version"

      maybe it'll get done at school now. i hope it ain't blocked unless school is trying to be careful about getting it's network infected.

      Big drawback against clamwin is that nothing is automated. AVG has automated updates and it automatically blocks the bad stuff.

      no problem. i always get the files thru filehippo unless something prompts me to go to the vendor's own website to get it and filehippo is always updating their file servers with the latest versions (including beta's) of the programs that I typically use.AVG seemed to get rid of the major problem, but my search engines are still screwed up.

      Solve : Spools.exe?

      Answer»

      I found the FILE spools.exe running in my task manager and I had never seen it before, so I deleted it because my computer was almost fried by a fake anti virus software, and I thought it could of been some leftover part. After I deleted it, every time I open any program, it goes to the "Open With" BOX, and does that every single time even if I choose the program file to go with it. Is spools.exe a normal system process? And what can I do to get my programs to open normally?Spools.exe is a network aware worm that will try and disable programs installed by a user and creates a back door connection to a hacker site and will transmit user data and internet activity back that outside hacker. It was wise of you to try and delete the it from your system. However it sounds like you went the wrong way about getting rid of it. I need more information though to make any conclusions. How did you delete it? Most modern day anti-virus software can immediately spools.exe and remove it.

      Try:

      http://free.grisoft.com/ww.download?prd=afe

      That is AVG anti virus. It is a free anti virus but works very well from my experience. I have used it with multiple clients and it should sot any other viral issues your PC has. I am at a loss for your "Open With" box randomly popping up. Need more information. Alright, I ran my anti-virus/spyware program (Ad-Aware 2007) and it got rid of quite a few things, then I rebooted. Still, whenever I try to launch a program, the "Open With" box comes up. With some programs, for example Firefox and Ad-Aware, I'm able to browse for the program file and run it, and with others like AIM and ITUNES, the program will not start.Print these instructions out.

      1. Download SUPERAntiSpyware Free for Home Users:

      * Close SUPERAntiSpyware.

      Restart computer in Safe Mode.
      To enter Safe Mode, restart computer, and keep tapping F8 key, until menu appears; select Safe Mode; you'll see "Safe Mode" in all four corners of your screen

      * Open SUPERAntiSpyware.
      * Under "Configuration and Preferences", click the Preferences button.
      * Click the Scanning Control tab.
      * Under Scanner Options make sure the following are checked (leave all others unchecked):
      o Close browsers before scanning.
      o Scan for tracking cookies.
      o Terminate memory threats before quarantining.
      * Click the "Close" button to leave the control center screen.
      * Back on the main screen, under "Scan for HARMFUL Software" click Scan your computer.
      * On the left, make sure you check C:\Fixed Drive.
      * On the right, under "Complete Scan", choose Perform Complete Scan.
      * Click "Next" to start the scan. Please be patient while it scans your computer.
      * After the scan is complete, a Scan Summary box will appear with potentially harmful items that were detected. Click "OK".
      * Make sure everything has a checkmark next to it and click "Next".
      * A notification will appear that "Quarantine and Removal is Complete". Click "OK" and then click the "Finish" button to return to the main menu.
      * If asked if you want to reboot, click "Yes".
      * To retrieve the removal information after reboot, launch SUPERAntispyware again.
      o Click Preferences, then click the Statistics/Logs tab.

      I agree with you, but unfortunately we have to deal with some software, people paid for, and it'd be hard to force someone to throw money away.Get AVG, Avast and Comodo firewallQuote from: wefr0 on April 27, 2008, 08:55:45 AM

      Get AVG, Avast and Comodo firewall

      Not AVG and Avast...1 or the other.
      2 AV programs will cause havpc and bang heads.which one is better ?They are both very good...the newest ver. of AVG loads a toolbar onto the system which many people detest so try Avast first.

      The rest of these apps should be added to your arsenal as well :

      Spybot Search and Destroy.

      AdAware

      AVG Anti-Spyware or
      aSquared.

      WinPatrol

      Comodo Firewall.

      All of the above are FREE.
      It's up to you to update them and run the scans on a regular basis.

      Answer»

      I have recently found a "Trojan.Win32.blackBird.exe" icon on my desk top. I have tried deleting it many times but says it is being used by another progam and can not be deleted. Additionally, since this showed up on my computer I am continueing to get messages about my computer being infected, etc. I have ran McAfee, Spybot SEARCH and destroy, Ad-aware, FixIEDef (which help a little) and now Hijackthis. I have posted my Hijackthis log and was wondering if someone could help me understand what it is I need to do. Thanks.

      Solve : Is it possible this email could have contained something nasty??

      Answer»

      Hey everyone,

      Early this morning I received an e-mail from one of my clients FROMN their yahoo email.

      It seemed to be a drunken, slurred LATE night email from a jilted lover lashing out.

      Seems very wierd. COULD I have been copied by mistake.......maybe.

      I can't really call to find out. There was no attachment, so I was wondering if there could have been something nasty hidden in there if there is no attachment?

      I have ad-aware and spybot. I use REGULARLY, is this enough?

      THANKS for any and all help.



      Without an attachment there should be no harm....

      In what window, what wasn't there?In the registry editor, where all of the files from the folder "main" are located. After I tried to delete the value, it said I couldnt. However, when I went back to the Registry Editor after I clicked OK, the Http:\\(whole URL) disappeared, but that might not mean too muchOK.

      Solve : Nasty Trojan, Please Help!?

      Answer»

      JRE1.6.0_04 isnt listed in the Java Folder....
      I'm running a search for it from the START menu....
      A search didnt COME up with anything....
      I have NEVER had such a problem getting rid of an error window like I have this one....OK. It looks like some registry entry is calling for it.
      Get RegSeeker: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/regseeker.html
      It's a safe tool, which always creates registry backup.
      Open it, and search registry for JRE1.6.0_04
      Delete all keys containing the above string.
      Let me know.Alright, that did the TRICK! There were about 6 entries left....
      Thanx for all your help Broni..... You're welcome

      One more step, though...

      1. Download, and install CCleaner: http://www.ccleaner.com/download/builds. Get "Slim" version.
      Read CCleaner instruction here: http://www.jahewi.nl/ccleaner/ccleaner.html.
      Run CCleaner.

      - Windows XP:
      1. Click Start.

      4. Check "Turn off System Restore".
      5. Click Apply.
      6. When turning off System Restore, the existing restore points will be deleted. Click Yes to do this.
      7. Click OK.
      - Windows Vista:

      3. Click on System Protection under the Tasks column on the left side
      4. Click on Continue on the "User Account Control" window that pops up
      5. Under the System Protection tab, find Available Disks
      6. Uncheck the box for any drive you wish to disable system restore on (in most cases, drive "C:")
      7. When turning off System Restore, the existing restore points will be deleted. Click "Turn System Restore Off" on the popup window to do this.

      4. Turn System Restore on.

      5. Download, and install free ThreatFire: http://www.threatfire.com/, which will give you real-time protection against malwares.
      It won't interfere with your antivirus, nor firewall.

      6. Let me know, how your computer is doing.

      I will do that, but whats the difference between CC slim and the normal version that I already have?
      When I went to install Threatfire, my Avast! detected a trojan in the program....You can run your CCleaner, since you have it already.
      Disregard Avast warning. It's oversensitive in this case.OK, done....
      With Threatfire, Avast, ect running, is it necessary to have Spyware Terminator real time shield running as well?It won't hurt...
      How is your computer doing?Its running pretty well, a *censored* of alot better then when I had the trojan thats for sure, first time I have got one in about 4 years, I'm normally good at staying away from those....Stay that way.
      Good luck

      N.B.

      Task manager was disabled before. Through the forums here, I was able to bring it back. Thanks

      Is there an entry in add/remove for Logitec Desktop Messenger? There is again multiple entries in the HJT log for this and it is un-necessary. Other than that it all LOOKS OK.Yes, it was available in 'Add Remove Programs' and I removed it. My Logitech Bluetooth wireless keyboard and mouse still work fine after re-start so I guess I don't need Logitech messenger anyway.

      Solve : email page cannot be displayed message?

      Answer»

      Yesterday morning, for some REASON I was not able to get into my hotmail. It keeps saying "page cannot be displayed. My wife and I each have our own computers and they are net WORKED together. Hers is doing the same thing. I have also noticed this morning that my yahoo email account, while i can get into it, there is almost no mail. This is very unusual. If ANYTHING, I have sever mails in the junk box.
      I read about this in here but when I followed the intructions it gave I was unsure of FOLLOWING them because my advanced tab did have a putton described in the instructions.
      The one I was thinking it might be. said to only use it if my computer was unstable. I don't know what that means.

      Sorry to be so dumb but that is why I am here.... Quote

      I read about this in here but when I followed the intructions it gave I was unsure of following them because my advanced tab did have a putton described in the instructions.
      What instructions are you talking about?the instructions told me to go to control panel. Select internet OPTIONS. Click advanced tab. Then it said to select the delete tab to remove something. I can't find the message I read this morning that had these instructions.

      The only two things I have on the advanced tab are (restore advanced settings) it will take place after restarting my computer. The other is ( reset internet settings) It says this deletes all internet files, disables browser add ons and resets all and resets all the changed settings. then to the right is the rest button.

      below that is gives a caution note (you should only use this if your browser is in an unstable state.

      Not knowing what that meant, I didn't do anything. I just closed the window and posted the question.What instructions? Where did you get them from?I got the answer from the forum. Some one had asked the very same question I was going to. It had been asked about 5 months or so ago. Also it was only a single page in the forum. Buy that I mean there were no 2nd 3rd 4th and so on.
      I really tried to find it so I could copy and past it. I look for almost half an hour but came up empty.

      I am going to continue looking.....Quote
      then to the right is the rest button.
      Click on "Reset" button. It'll only disable add-ons, not delete them.
      Restart computer, and try to access your mail again.

      Also, since your wife computer is having same problem....
      Turn off both computers, and disconnect router, and modem from power source. Wait 30 seconds.
      Reconnect everything. Restart computers.
