| 211765 | 2004-01-31 08:24:00 | Disable all programs that are launching on start-up. reboot. If the problem has gone then its just a case of finding out which one caused it thru elimination. A good clean out of spyware wont hurt either. |

Whats the detailed error messages saying (when you click on the options in the message)? Disable all programs that are launching on start-up. reboot. If the problem has gone then its just a case of finding out which one caused it thru elimination. A good clean out of spyware wont hurt either. I run adaware often! i HAVENT installed more hardware. It just started doing it,i havent done anything. I thought i clicked details,but when i posted the screenshot i noticed it said 'for more tech details click this ' so next time il post that.... one thing to note-i made the mistake of installing GOZILLA ,and uninstalled,and it still hangs around,and i just realised,for ages the 'gozilla' logo wud pop up when i start windows*after i uninstalled it* and NOW it doesnt,but i get this error! PURE EVIL GOZILLA! And even tho ive disabled it ages ago in msconfig it still seemd to load on start up argh Cheers everyone! Btw i run Zone alarm,Pc cillin firewall and xp firewall at times also,and STILL register 'high risk attacks' on zone alarm! YUCK makes me want to run linux! |

| 211767 | 2004-01-31 22:03:00 | Did you disable everything on start up and see if the error disapeared? everything as in EVERYTHING. and run a reg cleaner. |

| 211768 | 2004-01-31 22:32:00 | It would pay to remove Gozilla completely from your system and see if that helps. Read and follow the instructions in the forum's Spyware FAQ (link to FAQs at top right of this page). | tommy (2826) | ||
| 211769 | 2004-02-04 10:36:00 | Yes i removed EVERYTHING but the things i DO want to startup in msconfig i ran adaware,ive got 12 new objects'data miners' ,lastweek i had 10 too! have updated ad aware.am gona download spybot.... homepages.paradise.net.nz thats all the 'technical details' say... i opened ONE of those files,the xml,it just had a list of .sys files,i presume thats what it sends to microshoft.. Cheers! |

| 211770 | 2004-02-04 11:33:00 | "Spybot" is a great malware killer. It also gives real-time protection from adware and dialers with its "immunize" feature, great for keeping nasties out of ones machine. Also has some other useful tools, (like prevention of IE home page hi-jacking) and is good at ferreting out problems. Combining Spybot with Adaware, a good firewall, antivirus program, all the latest updates and safe email/file-sharing practices (have a look at "Mailwasher" for "remotely" checking email and deleting at the mailserver), should go a long way to keeping things running well. For deepseated remnants, JV16 Power tools is good at finding and cleaning up all sorts of junk in the registry and filesystem. Its surprising what "left-overs" you can still find in the registry, even after using the standard clean up tools. Although its user friendly, doing the wrong thing could cause serious consequences (the standard warning!) so making sure the registry is backed up, and/or a system "snapshot" taken before doing too much is a wise and reccomended prcedure. I've had minimal experience with XP, so this is only general advice. I recently used these techniques to restore a friends heavily "infected" family XP computer back to a "clean" state after lengthy sessions with Adaware, spybot, and JV16.... there were over 600 nasties of all sorts.... |

And a dataminer is just a cookie that reads other cookies..... |
