| 624921 | 2007-12-27 20:31:00 | A while ago Speedy Gonzales showed me how to and identified what to get rid of-after a hjc scan, -teach me, Run one, then google each entry to see what the file/process etc is. From that you should be able to figure out if its needed or malware. |

| 624922 | 2007-12-27 21:07:00 | Thanks Beamer and PCtek, :eek: Looking at those lists- all in the U S, makes me VERY nervous, especially with all the disclaimers and pointed remarks against removing what appears to be dangerous and what is not--the truth is I am even more certain that I need the likes of Speedy as a person of trust-sorry to the American members of this forum, but as Speedy is a local and not that far away from me- I can go up and thump him, or throw a grateful arm round his neck :o effie c |

| 624923 | 2007-12-27 22:07:00 | Hi, again, O K if I run a hjc scan and it says "fix checked items- and click that button, will it remove all the checked ( ticked) items, repair any faulty,and leave the rest alone, or drop me deep in the do - do ? :help: effie c |
effie c (6856) | ||
| 624924 | 2007-12-28 00:12:00 | Fixing checked does exactly that - removes the ones you ticked. It won't do anything to the rest. | pctek (84) | ||
| 624925 | 2007-12-28 03:40:00 | Well. I dont worry, or care about whats at the front of the log, (ie:R/RO,F1/2/3/whatever). Its whats after it, you look at / worry about. Or else you'll be there all night. Just tick what needs ticking, leave whatever alone. |

| 624926 | 2007-12-28 05:00:00 | Thank you speedy, et al, Geez ! when I look at that hjc log it appears a mile long - and mixed in with what I suspect are at best, items no longer needed-and no doubt some nasties . :badpc: OK, I will try- and I hope F1 will give me a good send off, after my heroic clean out--- mistakes will happen,knowing me :blush: :groan: effie c |
