Comodo, Avast and Avira are, in my opinion, the best, free AV's available. They are about as good as the paid for software, but may lack some features.
I have not paid for an anti-virus or Firewall...

All of the following need looking in to to determine if they are still there and if they are a threat.

I hope for your sake that all the nasties I can see in the DDS log were taken care of :).
Would be nice to see the MBA-M log and then a DDS log taken after.

Download gmer.zip: http://www.gmer.net/files.php
Unzip the file, and double click on gmer.exe, select Rootkit tab and click the Scan button.
When scan is completed, click Save button, and save the...

So, there is positively more than one negative to being negatively voted :(.
Fancy getting down voted for telling the truth. Can someone run around and up-vote my crap posts :)?

Now you run it as previously instructed.

I would think the OP meant "Warez" :). Self inflicted wound, if thats the case :D.

Best bang for the $ imo atm are the AMD processors. Jump over to the dark side :D

It would be nice if Allan replied though. He probably does not have a pc, so the birthday wish was pointless (except to spam the sig).

And now you are :D

Windows 7 :D

My suggestion is to try somewhere else as you will get no help here :).
Your intention might be above board, others' may not.

That is really, really good and I am happy for you.....really, but this thread is not about YOU.

To the OP,

Download Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware...

If the RAM is different, they will both/all run at the speed of the slowest card.

I would make sure the mobo has the latest bios installed, as that looks to be a reading problem.
What are all the readings under load? Download OCCT and run it for 5 minutes (unless things get too...

What is wrong with the answer given? Seems appropriate to me.
He has already said more than a year, but probably less than three. Keep it away from direct sunlight, excessive heat and humidity....

Can also go the 4850 or 4870 in the ATI range.

No. Otherwise every piece of software you installed after installing Windows, would be classified as malware.

Malware is a piece of software that deliberately sets out to either wreck ones pc, or...

Due to a bug in Malwarebytes, you may see in MBAM's log following entries:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\atapi (Rootkit)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet002\Services\atapi...

There may be a false positive here or there, but to say that AV's 'attack' legit software is wrong.

Try a Google search. I am sure something will turn up. Not sure why you would post in the Mac forum, or why you would think a tech forum would know anything about poker?

Now that you have pointed it out, I can see the entry in the combofix log showing it missing:icon_redface:

That depends on if it's a shotgun or a rifle.

C'mon ppl. Give me at least one vote :D

Download GMER from here:

Unzip it to Desktop.

Please close any open programs/windows!
Open the program and click on the Rootkit/Malware tab.
Make sure all the...

Just for more info, what happens when you try and download? What happens with the attachments? I assume you mean email?
Have you tried reinstalling AVG?
I may ask for a 2nd opinion on this one :).

There are no stupid questions, so don't worry yourself on that score :).

An ATI card will work on an nvidia chipset mobo and an nvidia card will work on an ATI chipset mobo.
The only thing you...

I never edited any posts. The post after your first one was the OP's alias and that had links to registry cleaners in it. Now that account is banned, the sig is removed.
The spammers know they will...

No worries :)

Can you update MBA-M and do one more full scan please. Reboot when it's finished and post the log.

Also, take a look on the 'C' drive and delete the following, if found;

C:\Windows Police...

Now you sound like a spoiled child who has been caught out. You should not cast stones as your English is not perfect either.

Modifying Windows was/is not the issue here (I run a stripped out version of XP on another pc). The issue is linking to warez sites.

So, you want one that "just works" :D

Yes, it is. If MS or other authorised retail outlet hasn't sold it to you, then it is not a legal copy.

it contained a link to warez, so it was removed and you recieved an infraction.[/QUOTE]
He appears to be ignoring that fact, like he ignored other comments throughout the thread.
Personally I...

Probably because you linked to a site that hosted pirated software.

Well, that shut him up :D.

Linking to illegal copies of Windows will not help your case either.
