| | You can always delete the software and its directory and then use a registry cleaner to deal with potential orphans. If you're infected with anything, it's a different story and the Virus forums are here to help woth that. |
| | lochi, You'll get absolutely jack sh*t nothing for your PC. i.e. £100 or less. You can get brand new stuff for £350 with a far better spec. Everybody wishes to get more than that and there's a glut in the market. I'd love to be proved wrong. |
| | If a PC suddenluy restarts and something then doesn't work, I would suggest (at a distance) that something glitched and blew. We don't know whether you've got on-board video or a PCI-E card. So it's difficult to be more specific. I'd go with the local shop & £400 for the … |
| | Have you noticed that the original poster hasn't been back to this thread?  |
| | As mentioned by sparkax, a very swift shut down of the PC can be attributed to a short. This causes the PSU to detect an over amperage and it immediately shuts off. Other causes might be the main board connector isn't well plugged in; or another power connector is in …  |

| | You'll never cure this problem. There are thousands of suggestions in Google - but if you've set up your mail account properly the only way you'll get this to stop is go bacvk to vanilla install, move forward one application at a time, try for a day ort so and … |
| | We recently did much the same thing with some enterprise type software - from the Middle East to London. A VPN tunnel is bound by internet message fragmentation with associated red tape, checksums and the like. Mixed into this is the question of how keystrokes are echoed to the screen, … |
| | Can we please have more detail? What is the full, exact error message and is there an error number? Are you saying that [url]www.msn.com[/url] works OK (and not a cached page)? Have you recently or just before the error installed new software? |
| | Re: blank screen It'll teach you not to download anything that's got anything to do with Torrent. Hacked software often punishes pirateers because it has itself been tojaned. Serves you right - to labour the point. |
| | Most people connect to ehternet with an ethernet port (RJ45) not USB. So what is your exact setup?  |
| | There are anumber of trojans/viruses that cause that sort of thing to happen. The Virus forum Readme threads will tell you what to do and report back to the forum with diagnostic information. |
| | Re: sandra report Please tell us your exact computer configuration. We can't judge whether the report is accurate or making things up. From what I could see, you appear to have an older computer (the 64MB Video card is the clue). the other thing we need from you is to run TASK MANAGER; … |

| | A moving "dead pixel" must be due to the video circuitry and not the CRT. You might care to tell us which video card you have. It contains a frame buffer and if this is not populated correctly, neither will your CRT screen. |
| | Re: DVD Google the term "DVD decoders for x64" - there's plenty to get stuck into. Anyway, it isn't clear exactly what you mean by DVD Decoder. Perhaps you can explain exactly as the term cover a number of meanings. |
| | I find that IE (I don't use FireFox much) only uses a lot of CPU if it's busy with authentication of a site it's trying to reach. S-0-6-98-100016064-100025734-100005007-2661.com looks to me like the wrong thing's been pasted somewhere. Your egistry probably has a key S-0-6-98-100016064-100025734-100005007-2661 which is the way it … |
| | I can't at this stage say what iTunes may have done to overwrite any drivers or system siftware - shouldn't have done anything bad. Certainly hasn't on any of my systems. ANyway, stuttering in my experience is cause by any of these three usual suspects in no order of likelihood: … |
| | I don't believe what I'm reading! From washing machine to oven! Yes, dry the RAM thoroughly - an airing cupboard or near a house radiator. Say 12 hours. Then whack it into your PC and see what happens. It'll either work or beep.  |
| | As you have another PC (it seems)), buy a USB external enclosure for your 2½" disk drive. Remove it from the Tosh, place it in the enclosure, put in into the USB slot of the other PC and get your key files off. Then get the Tosh repaired after putting … |
| | It's tempting to ignore your question because the answer is something you don't want to hear. But it's quite clear: Either get the screen replacement and all interfaces right or Forget it and replace the laptop or use it without the integral screen. Sorry. Anyone disagree? I hope so. |
| | Re: mdaemon Have a look under Task Manager to see if it's still running as a process. When a process loses its state of grace, it can still persist and, depending on how it was written, may not allow itself to be replicated in memory. Other than that, re-install the software is … |

 | Can you use the keyboard in BIOS mode? Can you use the keyboard if you boot off the Windows CD? |
| | I'm sure that many Office 2007 users are totally hacked off at the choice of colour scheme available and the lack of contrast at the top border. For example, if I've got Word and Outlook on the same screen, more often than not I end up minimising Word rather than …  |
| | Re: Windows xp? I'm not surprised that the brainios here have avoided answering your question for the past couple of hours. First, the prospect of giving step by step instructions for dumping Vista and installing XP would put most people off. best way (BTW) if you want to zap Vista totally is to …  |
| | It strikes me as a clear driver issue. I don't know if you installed latest drivers from Nvidia or Amsung. Tell us please. |

| | Compaq/HP laptops (Some models I forget which but they're all shit quality anyway) have a dry joint fault, as I recall. In some models, they'll boot if you press JKL, thereby making an electrical contact. I suspect an intermittent joint is your friend's problem. |
| | Have a look at this link for a possible solution: [url]http://en.allexperts.com/q/Computer-Security-Viruses-1737/2008/2/PART-2-MESSAGE-HJT.htm[/url] I haven't the time to fully analyse your HJT log but these come to mind as malicious: O3 - Toolbar: (no name) - {E0E899AB-F487-11D5-8D29-0050BA6940E3} - (no file) O10 - Unknown file in Winsock LSP: c:\program files\common files\is3\anti-spyware\is3lsp.dll O10 - …  |
| | Looks identical to my Photoshop Menu. Can't see anything wrong. |
| | Your friend was wrong IMHO. Vista 64 is well supported for drivers on the modern PC (which you have, yes?). As I and others explained in several other posts, With Vista 32 you will have lost around 3/4 of a GB (if you have a 512MB graphics card). 4GB is … |
| | What's changed on your system? Like the screen? What screen is it? The usual non-malware suspects are (some of which you know): 1 LCD screen firmware 2 Glitching along the VGA (?) cable (or is it DVI in your case?) 3 Change of screen without update of video driver 4 … |
| | Did you search the forum on the IP address? Usuually the best thing to do first. Anyway, search the forum on the string 82.255 and pick your thread to read.

| | Whenever these sort of things come into the forum and there was a trojan that had been thought cleared, it's the past damage done by the trojan that could be the problem. That damage is likely to be whatever malware is subsequently pulled onto your computer. So we'll need to … |

| | I would have pointed to Antiwpa.dll as a possible culprit. Hackers are tempted to dive into more benign hacking tools such as antiwpa and turn them into trojans. It gives them a clear conscience because of what antiwpa.dll does. It is also possible that you aren't a user of Antiwpa.dll … |
| | Why can't you check your mails on Firefox? It's a URL after all. I can check web-mail on both. Are you sure your ISP isn't overloaded on the circuit in your area or there is a fault with your ISP? Depending on your DSL router, there are behaviour stats that … |
| | I think we'll wait until you've got a PS/2 keyboard attached and you've tried a few more things. Are you sure it was the Northbridge chipset fan that has the problem? If it's the Southbridge that may have got damaged then USB wouldn't work. |
| | You ask the real question. I'm using XP Pro 64 no problems. When I get some time (not in a hurry), I'll try what you've tried to put up a dual boot of Windows 7 x64 Beta. In your position I would go for the tried and trusted XP 64 … |

Beside which your PC is well infected still. Best advice is that: 1/ You get your data off via an uninfected machine and a USB enclosure. … |

Its first effects are described in this article: [url]http://www.symantec.com/security_response/writeup.jsp?docid=2003-080713-1333-99&tabid=2[/url] As nobody's replied you're gonna have to look at other threads and follow the anti-malware steps that are written up here.
