I cant even pull it up anymore!
I look @ the task manager when I click on the shortcut and it comes up on the task manager for a sec. Then it goes away, it isnt even giving me a message!
I uninstalled it then went to reinstall the firewall and virusscan. I installed the firewall sucessfully but the virusscan installer will not even come up.
I run Windows XP and the virusscan is ver.8.0
Thank you,
The newguy.

so did you download and run the MacAfee Stinger virus scan as directed !
Please do this.
Download 'Hijack This!'.
htt
p://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/files/HijackThis.exe
Save it in a convenient permanent folder such as C:\HJT\,
double click HijackThis.exe, and hit "Scan".
When the scan is finished, the "Scan" button will change into a
"Save Log" button.
Press that, save the log, Ctrl-A to Select All, and copy its
contents here. Most of what it lists will be harmless or even
essential, don't fix anything yet.

Its weird, I can download and install Spybot!
I have tried to install both virus scan 7.0 and 8.0.
I am doing the spybot scan now.
Download then unzip and run CWShredder to clean up clicking "FIX" to have it remove all it finds.
CWShredder available from these places :-
http://www.zerosrealm.com/downloads.php
http://www.aluriasoftware.com/tools/cwshredder.zip
Or this as a full download without any unzipping required
http://www.downloads.subratam.org/CWShredder.exe
http://www.spywareinfo.com/downloads/tools/CWShredder.exe
We have found that some of the CWS infections can be removed better from safe mode, rather than normal mode.
To get to safe mode use the F8 key while booting the machine. Detailed instructions from here :-
http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/tsgen...001052409420406
reboot and post a fresh hijackthis log
Forget the virus scans for now .Please run Ad-Aware ,spybot and CWShredder first
