| 198041 | 2003-12-07 04:07:00 | I have picked up two span programmes in my computer which I cannot delete. They appear on the menu bar bottom right of the screen where the clock is situated. I have right clicked each one then left click delete only to have the system freeze up and I have to switch the computer of and re start again. I have also tried settings/control panel/highlight/add remove only to have the computer freeze up again. I left click the icon to open the programme and when the window reads do you want to connect or exit, I click exit to make sure that the programme is closed before trying to delete it. I would appreciate your help on this matter Cheers Gus Grant |

| 198043 | 2003-12-07 04:11:00 | Two programs could help you. Spybot and Startup.exe. Do a seach on google for them. Also make sure you get a good firewall like Zonealarm if you don't already have one. | mikebartnz (21) | ||
| 198044 | 2003-12-07 07:42:00 | Are you perhaps meaning spam (as in junk email) rather than span? As previously mentioned you could have picked up some spyware or some other nasty. Have a look at the FAQ on Spyware (link top right of this page) - you will need to scroll down to bottom of FAQ page for it. |

| 198048 | 2003-12-07 21:08:00 | Also have alook at the FAQs here at Pressf1. Start with 1b Basic Maintenance and that will stop you getting into a lot of holes like this one. :D (There could be a sticky post saying this) |

| 198049 | 2003-12-07 21:12:00 | By OS, he meant Operating System.....e.g Windows 98 or ME or XP Home or whatever. It often helps to know that when answering questions. |
