Thanks for all the help! These suggestions worked well and everything is up and going!

<hugs!>

The screen turns on …. The Windows loading screen shows on the screen for about 10 seconds and then the error pops up


Thanks again!

Hi guys! This time I'm getting help for a friend, so any advice you could offer would be awesome!

So my friend has a laptop, but it won't power up anymore and it gets errors like these when it...

Kind of weird what is happening really!

My computer and internet seem to be working fine, then for the last few days, the internet will just stop working. It won't slow down, nothing strange...

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...

Okay, so you're saying since the attacks/probes are showing up in my firewall list, then that means they *are* being blocked?

Sorry, I'm new to the whole firewall thing :(. This was given to me by...

Hello everyone! Well, I took your advice, and went ahead and reinstalled and reformated. Now I seem to be getting a lot of hits on my firewall for some reason.

I'm wondering if there is a virus...

Hello all,

Well, I've had similar problems like this in the past, but now this is the worst. It started with The Sims 2. It played fine for a while, but then it started to get holes in the...

I've reinstalled my video drivers, and that seemed to help for about a day, then it went back to the same thing :(.

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.

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...

Hello,

Whenever I play movies in WMP, or Quick Time, or Real Player, after a few minutes, the screen that the movie is playing in starts flashing green very fast. Then the programs starts running...

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...

Try to reset your TCP/IP, this usually works:

Click on Start, then click on Run, and type this in:

netsh int ip reset c:\resetlog.txt

Then click "ok"

A black box should appear and...

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...

Thanks again for the info! Just a quick question...are you saying I should install one of those uninstall programs, THEN go into safe mode and use the uninstall program? (I chose Your Uninstaller!...

Yeah, I'm pretty dangerous. However, all I do is follow the instructions. It just says clean out the registry (things that no longer have valid entries and don't point to anything). Then I clean out...

Not really no...however, I just moved my computer and switched from DSL to Cable, and it doesn't seem to be doing that weird reboot thing. Maybe the DSL was doing something weird to my computer?

Thanks Deonnanicole, I didn't know there was a newer version!

Okay, here is the fresh log, thanks again :)

Hello,

Every time I open up my Internet Explorer, and type in the address of the site I want to visit, when it gets to that site, it opens up the way it was the last time I got there. It used to...

How come? It's called EasyCleaner, and it's freeware. Do these things delete important registries sometimes? It was recommended to me by Crunchie.

I use windows XP also :(. I have a registry cleaner. Should I just delete Panda then use the Registry cleaner? It cleans out all registry codes that don't point anywhere.

Or should I do something...

Well, I tried to install it again, and as it started up it said, "Panda Anti Virus is alread installed, you'll have to uninstall it before you install again"

Then it gave me the directions on how...

Hello, I went to uninstall Panda Antivirus this morning. However, as it was starting to, it was bringing up the install wizard instead of the uninstall wizard. So, I cancelled it and tried again. It...
