Also, just to let you know, I've tried to do the Trend Micro House Call scan 3 times now, and everytime it makes my computer reboot. Is there a virus out there that causes a reboot if it's detected?...

Hello all, I just received a Phisher e-mail and I heard that you're mainly going to be receiving this if some spyware or Trojan is on your computer. So, I was wondering if anyone knew of a good...

Hi guys!

Well, those system processes for Viewpoint weren't present in normal or Safe Mode, and the C:\Program Files\Viewpoint wasn't present either.

So, I fixed the selected problems and...

You know I've always wondered what Viewpoint Manager was. I was cleaning out old programs and saw it in the add/remove programs and I thought it was weird, had no idea what it was, so I left for...

Thanks again, Crunchie! You've saved me so much already, sorry to keep messing things up :(. Don't know how it happens, ugh, I try to be careful.

I noticed that new DL of Hijack this last night...

Hello again!

Over the last few days, strange things have been happening. I've run my Ad Aware SE, my Spybot, I use Firefox when I browse, but I'm still having trouble. I'm connected to the...

Should I delete these as well? The Negligiable objects that Ad Aware finds, or is it okay to leave them?

Just not sure which ones I should rid myself of.

Thanks again! Love this site and all...

Thanks everyone!

I'll get that other one that I"ve never heard of before (IE-Spypad).

Thank yoU!

Is this a good anti-spyware? Anyone know if it's worth it? It's the type of one where you have to buy it from the store. Is this as good as Spybot or Ad Aware?

Oh, okay, nothing to worry about then?

So, where can I find out how to read Hijack logs? Is there a site where I can go to learn how to read them, to find out what's going on? What's wrong and...

Hello again,

Usually when I turn my computer off, then turn it back on, everything is fine. However, the last time I did it, my computer did a chkdsk when it started up, the one that says "It is...

Hello,

With peoplepc, when you get a bartshell error, you can't open the login screen or get on the internet. I heard that this bartshell is some kind of a virus? Is this true? And is it related...

What about my Adobe that keeps crashing when I open? A friend said it might have something to do with the registry. But why does it work in one account, but not in the other one?

Also, my Ad-aware keeps freezing. It will start the scan, get to about 14,858 files scanned, then freeze up. Any ideas on this?

Okay, thanks so much Crunchie! I've learned a lot and hopefully these last few things will clear me up for good :). Oh, I also figured out the thumbsup/down symbol and added good words for you!...

No, I found it with another link you posted called NoAdware v2.01. The only way I can fix it with that is if I pay $30.00. I was hoping you might know how to get rid of it without going that route...

How do I find the reg key? With reg lite?

Update:
I put in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\clRegKey into Reglit, and it gave me a big list of things. How do I know what to delete?

P.S. Thanks...

I was wondering if it's possible to scan something before installing it to see if it contains spyware. I download free fonts, and I'd like to check just those files to see if they have spyware ...

I don't really understand this spyware device :(. I installed it, turned it on, but there is no scanning procedure that I can find.

Thanks, Crunchie! The TrojanHunter made the Lkqyfy.exe visible so I could delete it. However the TrojanHunter said one of these files *MIGHT* be a Trojan, so I wanted to post it on here first and see...

I'm using the Avant browser now, is this one safer than IE or as good as Mozilla?

Well, I got most of those viruses, but there was one I couldn't find. It was the C:/Windows/System32/Lqkfy.exe virus. I looked and it just wasn't there when I went searching. I also checked the box...

For those viruses, do I just go in safe mode and find and delete them? I was looking in my System32 folder, and I found silent.exe and a.exe, so I wasn't sure if that's what I'm supposed to do....

Oh, and I still have those 8 viruses when I scan my computer on Trend Micro. Evil buggers :evil:

I still don't understand about the Merging URLRepair, but I checked the boxes you told me to in the Hijackthis. I deleted the files in Safe Mode, and here is what I have now:

Yes, that and Ad-Aware were the first things I tried, but they couldn't get rid of the problems. A lot of the things that Crunchie has told me have already helped a lot. Thanks anyways, STP72!
