394729 2005-10-09 18:21:00 Hi,

I have been on the Internet and now I hav found this thing called 'Power Scan' installed on my PC . I dont hav a clue wat this thing is .

I didnt install anything so how did it get onto my PC?
It said for me to scan my PC and it actually scans for any porn on my PC .
It found some but the files it found were absolute nonsense! I dont have porn on my PC so how did it find some?

After it finished scanning it said for me to clean out these files but i said no coz I thought that this Scanner is Faulty and could be virus . I removed Power Scan from the 'Add and Remove' in Control Panel . Does anyone no wat Power Scan is?

Thnx :)

394731 2005-10-09 19:05:00 I didnt get this part:

Start Windows Explorer and delete:
%ProgramsDir%\Power Scan\
%WinDir%\temp\powerscan . exe
Note: %ProgramsDir% is a variable (?) . By default, this is C:\Program Files .
Note: %WinDir% is a variable (?) . By default, this is C:\Windows (Windows 95/98/Me/XP) or C:\WINNT (Windows NT/2000) .

Where do u find: %ProgramsDir%\Power Scan\ and %WinDir%\temp\powerscan . exe?

I just deleted Everything to do with Power Scan . Is this alright? :dogeye:
