| 420115 | 2006-01-11 06:00:00 | :help: i have for a while had some (extremely) annoying popups announcing the threat of spyware such as auroraco . exe and even worse, thnallac1 . exe (this is just one of the different names it pops up under) . I have researched the topic online, and found that by messing with, and deleting, things from the registry, i can get rid of these problems . But every solution I have found comes with the warning not to mess with the registry unless you concider yourself a computer expert . I do not concider myself an expert, but i would concider myself an advanced user . Is there a fool-proof way to removnig these threats? Or will i have to risk it all and follow the (very long) instructions and mess with my registry? If none of these will do, could someone please give me the physical address of the monsters who has inflicted this harm upon me? Will fly to wherever in the world to hunt down and seriously injure those responsible . hope somone can help, :help: :help: :help: cheers! |

| 420116 | 2006-01-11 06:16:00 | You could try getting Ewido (http://www.ewido.net) Boot into safe mode and do a scan. Or get Hijackthis (www.merijn.org) from here (www.spywareinfo.com) Unzip this file into its own folder, run it and copy and paste the log it creates here. Or get Adaware SE Personal from here (www.lavasoftusa.com) then download the VX2 plugin (updates.ls-servers.com) from here (www.lavasoftusa.com) and install it. Then do a scan. |
