| 542108 | 2007-04-19 04:22:00 | Good news, I used HiJackThis and got rid of those features you specified . Also, I used Trojan Remover and got rid of the msasvc . exe file (as well as some other useless things) and now the data packets are have returned to normal . Good! I didn't end up using safe mode to do any of this, does that matter? I would still check later to see if msasvc . exe file is still there, and if it is, delete it anyway . I also didn't select the 3rd to 7th option in Trojan Remover, as I am not sure I need to . Resetting internet preferences? I'm not so sure . . . I'll let you know if I encounter any more problems . It only sets the homepage to blank . And the reset host file removes any entry that something may have put in it . And the 5th to 7th option removes entries that worm (or other malware), may have put in the registry . . . . . Which I'm pretty sure it does put entries in the registry . |

So choosing those utilities won't affect my preferences? |

The reset IE option only resets the homepage, just go into internet options and put whatever the site was back in. |

A few of them said no action was taken, which I suppose is good . While we're on the topic of Internet Options, whenever I try and access Tools > Internet Options in IE, it comes up with a restrictions message, saying "please contact your system admininstrator" . This is odd, because I am the admin! It's my computer, I should have complete control . What can I do to fix this? |

Thats a good sign, it just means nothing put anything in the registry etc .
