| 281945 | 2004-10-17 07:19:00 | Hi all, I am trying to fix a computer for a friend of mine, and have successfully removed the 27 different viruses, hundreds of spyware components and a lot of other rubbish..but still have one problem. Everytime the computer loads up a dailup connection box popsup still. I thought it was from the spyware, but that is gone and the connection box isn't. I now believe it's something to do with Norton system works (2003) as i deny the connection about 10 times and then norton loads up - after all other programs have at startup. I have no idea WHY it wants to connect to the internet, and after much searching (I never use norton because i hate it) and changing of MANY options about live update and such I have still not stopped the box. It also requests a connection when i doubleclick to start system works on the desktop, so I'm almost certain it is to blame. He doesn't want this annoying connection box, and I am going insane not being able to remove it. A search of this forum returned nothing, so I turn to you all Please help me, thank you a *lot*. |

| 281950 | 2004-10-18 05:53:00 | would suggest running pandas online activescan on the pc and another one or two spyware programs as no one program will pick up all viruses or spyware. www.pandasoftware.com/activescan |

| 281951 | 2004-10-18 05:55:00 | Are you sure all the spyware is gone, some of it can be extemely stubborn. I haven't found an app yet that finds & gets rid of everything. I use 7 different programs to clean machines. Also download & run hijackthis & copy & post the log it generates & we'll tell you which entries to delete |
