476328 2006-08-06 00:50:00 Hello There. I hope you can help me. The problem is I can't gain access to my C drive, when I try to I receive the following message "An ActiveX control on this page might be unsafe to interact with other parts of the page. Do you want to allow this interaction?" When i click yes absolutely nothing happens, there's just a white screen where all the icons should be. Also I've lost my screen wallpaper, again all I'm getting is a white screen, but strangely enough the wallpaper is visible for a few seconds when i boot up or shut down. These problems occured since my comp was attacked by loads of viruses from a rogue prog I downloaded from one of those crack sites, I know that'll teach me I guess ! I'm running Windows ME by the way. All and any help will be greatly appreciated, thanks :) ForeverProvence (10914)
476329 2006-08-06 01:02:00 Hello there. Welcome to PressF1.

First thing first. Let's make sure that your computer is completely free of malwares. Please post us a HJT log (HijackThis) so that we can be ascertain about that. (If you are not sure what HJT is, wait for a few minutes and someone will clarify that point) What antivirus / adware do you have on your machine? It will not do you any harm to check out PressF1's FAQ on how to remove malwares. Link: faqf1.net.nz

What has ActiveX got to do with C Drive? Can you access your hard drive via safe mode condition?

Cheers :)

Like I said before the message appears whenever i try to enter the C drive. I've used a few anti virus progs to make sure my comp is clean. I have Avast! running now. Also use Spyware Nuker 2005.

The last 3 being Malware, may sort your problem. Also as suggested regularly on here, download , update then run Ewido. It will claen out any other nasties.

476332 2006-08-06 01:38:00 Damn, dyslexic fingers.. "clean" not claen.. :badpc: pheonix (36)
476333 2006-08-06 01:51:00 I've deleted what you told me too but all to no avail i'm afraid.
I can't run Ewido cos i have Windows ME.

476334 2006-08-06 02:02:00 Forgot to say i can access the C drive in Safe Mode. ForeverProvence (10914)
476335 2006-08-06 02:11:00 reset the sicurity settings in internet optoins. also make sure you turn off the active wallpaper. tweak'e (69)
476336 2006-08-06 02:16:00 Reset the security settings but i don't know how to turn off the active wallpaper. ForeverProvence (10914)
476337 2006-08-06 02:19:00 DOH, sorry, should have picked up the ME as the OS.

Two other possibilities if the above doesn't help..

Run Ccleaner and also the registry cleaner in Regseeker. These can be done in safemode. You may be surprised by the amount of rubbish left behind that these programs pick up.
