660073 2008-04-19 22:19:00 Hey thanks guys

Yeah, some of the frickin programs are not mine, like the torrents - I don't use it at all but the son does. Will do. How about all them Windows updates?

sarel

How about add / remove son so that he can not access the computer?:2cents:

You can remove all Windows updates then they will come back again if you have the system set up to automatically download updates I would think.

660074 2008-04-20 02:09:00 Well you don't need any P2P programs

Not everyone dislikes P2P stuff. I would bet that most in this Forum have some type of P2P program installed, whether it be a torrent or limewire etc. They are not as evil as you think.


I dislike Google Toolbar I would loose that.
Seems to be multiple CD/DVD buring stuff there.
Hijack this only needs to be installed if your having a problem.
MS Money I think is crap, just as easy to write in your chq book
IrfanView/PhotoGallery/HP Photosmart/SlideShow do they all do similar things?

Most people probably dont dislike them.

Lets see how many people get covered in trojans / malware after ;)

660076 2008-04-20 02:19:00 Not many most likely if they have up to date AV and Anti Spy/Mal ware apps running. There are always the newbies/naive ones about that might though. Bantu (52)
660077 2008-04-20 02:31:00 Obviously you havent seen any of the hjt logs in here.

Most that have been infected have..... you guessed it had a P2P program installed

Even if an AV program or firewall is installed

It doesnt matter, if Nortons, NOD, Avast, AVG whatever is installed. It doesnt mean you wont get infected

If you dont scan before you use whatever, say byebye to your firewall and AV program.

Theyre not much use if they get disabled

Do you use Windows Live Messenger ? Would guess that programs such as that would be hungry ! It's the son's too

I'm quite simple (and - minded) - read only newspapers, cricket scores, etc. - very boring life.
