| 699399 | 2008-08-22 22:50:00 | Yup reboot then get the files I posted in the links | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 699400 | 2008-08-22 23:00:00 | Internet speeds are back (still can't get on spybot s&d site or forums though, same with you?), computer a whole lot less sluggish, but deleting that file and rebooting didn't get rid of that fake warning on my desktop. Anything else wrong with my comp? |

| 699403 | 2008-08-22 23:10:00 | Pancake, just saw your post. Are you telling me what to do after I did the fixes speedy gonzales told me to do or replying to the original problem? I'll do what you're asking anyway. Did you install trojan remover and Avast? Get malwarebytes as well. Install and update it then click on scan Its in my sig below Not yet, just tried to go to malwarebytes site in your sig... same problem, something seems to be blocking me to go there (probably because it recognizes the words malware in the link.. ****ing snidey ***holes whoever created this crap). Thanks for your help, having a go with pancake's advice as well now before I focus on the after-cleanup. |

| 699405 | 2008-08-22 23:15:00 | Pancake, can't connect to either of the links for that mbam software. Whatever it is that's still on my comp is blocking me. Get an instant connection error. Anyone able to send me that file or have other links... Nor can I go to that site for combofix. However, I still have that from help I received for a similar (less big) problem a year ago, so I'm not sure if that version is too old. |

| 699406 | 2008-08-22 23:29:00 | Click this to download malwarebytes (majorgeeks.com) | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 699407 | 2008-08-22 23:30:00 | The old version is no good.You need the latest.Can you download the stuff from another computer and tranfer it to yours..? | Pancake (6359) | ||
| 699408 | 2008-08-22 23:32:00 | No... can you upload them to sendspace or something like that... can probably go to those sites. EDIT: speedy, can't get it from there either. Majorgeeks seem to be blocked as well, tried to enter that site from my google search earlier today and it was the same problem. |
