Uninstall your browser and set IE's security. Turn off unnecessary Windows Services and get rid of the estranious antivirus programmes. Updtae all you security programmes and don't download ones that are not known and well respected. Back up your data and, don't do what you did to get infected in the first place, second chances are only any good if they are appreciated. :thumbs: No I mean it's same as before I did hte system restore. :badpc: |

| 341691 | 2005-04-05 21:25:00 | Hi, Just this week the boss's computer got hijacked quite badly (4 hours to fix). One of the solutions was to do a search of all .dll and .exe files in your windows (+ subfolders directory), and look to see which had been created in the last couple of days (ie since problem started). Either delete or rename these files, and the problem went away completely. The only problem I then had was a winsock problem, for which I downloaded a fix for that. Check for details in this post pressf1.pcworld.co.nz |

| 341693 | 2005-04-06 04:00:00 | I'm goin to have to try that... but last time it said the DLL files wouldn't delete because they were either being used or something. I had some rogue stuff on my PC (running XP) recently, including DLL files, and managed to get rid of it rather simply. I think some of this advice may have been previously given, for which I apologise if I am repeating what has already been stated. I ran Adaware SE using a full scan. It identified a number of problems (like 30 items). I put those into quarantine but it advised the some files were currently in use and could not be moved. It asked me if I wanted to remove them at the next reboot. I said yes, and rebooted. Re-ran Adaware SE and no problems identified. Next I ran Spybot Search & Destroy. It picked up a couple of additional problems. So I repaired that as well. Re ran Spybot S&D again and no problems identified. Next I immunised the system and also 'locked' the IE homepage using the options in Spybot S&D. (I rarely use IE and prefer Firefox.) Did an AVG Anti-virus scan. One virus of some sort identifed and repaired. Finally, I removed all references to programs that I permitted ZoneAlarm to grant access to the internet. When I went back on the internet, I was able to see what was wanting to access and allowed those that I knew/wanted. All now running fine with no spyware, malware etc. |
