| 267558 | 2004-08-31 12:15:00 | I posted a message on July 1 about an annoying box on my desktop that flashes ( see "Annoying flashing box on desktop") and amougst some of the 'smart-arse' responses, people recomended using SpyBot and Ad-Aware, which I did, BUT THAT BOX IS STILL THERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So I've looked into the Startup of the System Configuration Utility and turned off some of the programs I knew for sure. All I have running now are: SOUNDMAN NvCPl nwiz CAgent WkUFind avgcc32 dumprep 0 -k qtask evntsvc disjmrbu WinUpdt msbb bargains msmsgs NVMCTRAY rundll32 ZoneAlarm I understand that most of these are essential programs but if anyone can spot anything unwanted in this list please let me know. Cheers Av4tarnz |

| 267561 | 2004-08-31 12:30:00 | If you use XP right click the desk top (sal.neoburn.net) If that does not apply take a note of what is on and what is off in the startup then switch them all off, slow process but switch them back on one at a time, rebooting each time. HTH |

| 267564 | 2004-08-31 22:04:00 | Looks like you need to get rid of this too. i thought it may have been windows update but it is'nt. WinUpdt here (forums.majorgeeks.com) here (computercops.biz) Are you sure this "disjmrbu" is spelled correctly? follow the instructions in the first link and do some of the online scans to help you clear the spyware off your computer. hth |

| 267565 | 2004-08-31 22:32:00 | is adaware/spybot both fully upto date? did you do a full system scan ? is AVG upto date? did you do a full system scan? you might want to try an online antivirus such as housecall in case something as damaged AVG. before doing a scan take everything out of startup and reboot. if there is anything runing after the reboot then try to shut that process (or ctrl/alt/del it) down. if that dosn't help you may need cwshredder and hijack this. |

| 267566 | 2004-09-01 01:10:00 | totally different suggestion... but have you enabled your "active desktop"?? I'm guessing that you are using XP. Try this: right-click the desktop > properties > "desktop" tab > "customize desktop" button > are there any items listed in the "Web Pages:" box? if so untick or "delete" them. HTH!! |
