267223 2004-09-01 23:51:00 i did spybot and ad aware yesterday then again in safe mode and again in normal mode, all clean.
spybot always locate "DSO exploit" after each reboot then a spybot scan while it was before not on the internet? huh?

mcafee picked up win32proc.exe and cleaned it and deleted. the others were also deleted but i weren't notified. i just checked mcafee's log file.

this morning i tested this stupid errorplace.com, I can confirm its the source of the issue. When I had my internet line live with a webpage opened. nothing happened when i had a clean system. however when i purposely pop into the first wrong address URL it gave MSN error page - fine. then i redid a mistype URL the 2nd time and it linked me to errorplace.com. this page just won't go away. then i was again bombed by more viruses.

they as follows the last one on the list took a while to load, must be a decent size i guess. 9-2(1).exe, vwzpl.exe ast_4_mm(1).exe

I have mcafee version 6. does anyone know if it supports a restricted site feature? I know IE does but it does not explicitly warn you. I think mcafee had this feature back in their older versions. 		nomad (3693)

i assume you cleaned out your pc and you checked you where not getting any popups or errorplace.com pages. then after you went to errorplace.cam you the problems came back ??

is your windows fully uptodate ? java uptodate?

btw i just went to the errorplace.com site, it looks like its been taken down.

you can add the addy to your host file and that will stop your pc from going there. 		tweak'e (174)
267225 2004-09-02 00:52:00 hi there,

umm.. i tried it and i just got bombed again.
if you go to www.errorplace.com you should see two lines of text with a uninstaller available. this is safe thou, no viruses., don't install it! i scan it after i downloaded it was safe. however i did not run the file. i did run it last time as i thought it would fix it. but don't just dont do it, maybe it gave me all those issues last time.

if i type a wrong url it brings me to this.
certainly do not go here .. i got infected again:
the linked page is:
www.errorplace.com

re:the updates, no i am not updated, i am dialup. i am aware of that java fix thou i was linked after running CWShreder.

yes i cleaned it then i went onto the net. nothing happened until i bumped onto that page when i mistyped a url address. there was no pop ups until i was redirected. zonealarm was blocking it.

i just tried that link now, it now appears nothing is happening but the IE logo is spinning around endlessly. the page is just empty. not sure if i am already full of this junk its stopped giving me more. webhancer customer companion did pop up thou (blocked by ZA)

i have set my IE security to high. yesterday. 		nomad (3693)

proberly explains why you got infected. 		tweak'e (174)
267227 2004-09-02 02:15:00 Have you reset zone alarm to only allow the internet browser and ask for everything else, this would be advisable while you are trying to rid your computer of nasties. Rob99 (151)
267228 2004-09-02 02:57:00 its fixed! thanks guys.
i located the redirected URL thing via CCleaner there is a unusual BHO .. one was acrobat and the other was spybot. the other had something like BHO {no name} ... ... ... ... i deleted that. some guys had success on the google search. now its fixed, i am not getting the redirection anymore.

i am going to update java now via that CWShredder link after the scan/fix. thanks again. 		nomad (3693)
267229 2004-09-02 02:59:00 yeah i got the ZA resetted to the softwares i know are safe. i am gonna upgrade ZA too. nomad (3693)
267230 2004-09-02 03:00:00 sorry the BHO thing was located and deleted by "hijackthis." nomad (3693)
