| 285076 | 2004-10-27 02:45:00 | I have this problem with the internet everytime I connect a warning prompt comes up saying that the following programs cannot be run in 16 bit mode. I have done a search about the programs on google but nothing. I have updated my Antivirus, Spyware and Adware softwares and ran these, however everytime I get rid of them the next time I connect back they come. The two programs are GREGWX.EXE and GRGEGRE.EXE How do I get rid of these and stop them from returning. Cheers |

| 285077 | 2004-10-27 02:49:00 | Do a search for them and find out what programs they run. If it's nothing you want then delete them. Jack |

| 285078 | 2004-10-27 02:59:00 | So Spybot S&D or Ad-aware detect these as spyware and removes them? Have a look under msconfig and see whether they are select to start on boot up. Run whatever program finds and removes the exe's and then do this: Start > Run > msconfig - OK. Look under the startup tab and remove the tick from those entries. Restart the computer. See if this helps. This is also a FAQ button in the top right hand corner which has a FAQ on spyware. |

| 285079 | 2004-10-27 03:49:00 | I have deleted these programs, I have run Adaware and Spybot and removed the files. I have checked MSCONFIG and nothing there, I have checked Win.ini and System.ini nothing there, I have checked the registry and nothing there but when I connect back they come. | xineohp (3165) | ||
| 285080 | 2004-10-27 03:57:00 | Looks like virii to me,what AV are you using? Try nod32,they have a trial package,or an online scanner,i don't use the online ones so someone else will have to recomend one. |

| 285081 | 2004-10-27 04:02:00 | TrendMicro (housecall.trendmicro.com) is an often recommended online scanner , housever it failed me yesterday , Symantec also have an online scanner - I just find it via Google - just wondering , are you turning off system restore to fully delete these items ? | KatiMike (242) | ||
| 285082 | 2004-10-27 04:18:00 | The Spyware FAQ has links to other online scanners, both virus and trojan. There is also other information there that could be of some help. | Susan B (19) | ||
| 285083 | 2004-10-27 20:41:00 | First clean out your cache's, which could be re-infecting you. Then run your adaware etc.. Neat little freebie to do this is Ccleaner (http://www.ccleaner.com/) Leave on default settings, but I would recommend ticking the "delete index.dat" box as well. |
