This problem could occur because of Spyware , go on over to the Security section of this fourm and post you problem along with a hijackthis log .
Spyware & Trojans and Other Nasties
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Please Don't post the hijackthis log in this section Thanks .
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Please do this.
Download 'Hijack This!'. HijackThis
Save it in a convenient permanent folder such as C:\HJT\, double click HijackThis.exe, and hit "Scan".

Your copy of HijackThis needs to be in a folder of it's own. When HJT fixes anything, it makes backups of the original files in the folder it is in. Since Temporary folders are emptied now and then (the files are DELETED), it would not be a good idea to have your backups there. Those backups would be VITAL to restoring your system if something went wrong in the FIX process!


1. Please go to you're 'My Documents' folder, right-click and select 'New > Folder' then name the folder 'HJT'.

2. Copy and paste HijackThis.exe to the new folder.

3. Close ALL windows except HJT

4. SCAN with HJT

5. POST the new log in this thread using 'Add Reply'

DO NOT MAKE ANY CHANGES OR CLICK "FIX CHECKED" UNTIL WE CHECK THE LOG, AS SOME OF THE FILES ARE LEGIT AND VITAL TO YOUR COMPUTER'S HEALTH

Hi Caperjack, I download the executable file to this drive and install it into the Program Files folder on this storage drive. So when installing a program I changed the default install path from C:/ to G:/. Should I uninstall these programs and re-install them once the drive is in my new computer?
Hope this makes sense.

Thanks

Yes! you are using the drive for more tha storage when you do it that way ,you are insatalling program to the program files folder ,but the system files and registry entries for the programs will be on the C:\ drive ,so if you install a new OS on C:\ and whe nyou go to run the programs on D:\ they will not work as they will have nor registry reference ,in essencee you will have to reinstall the programs anyway .If that makes any sence !

but first did you try CWShredder to see if it helps .

caperjack 875 I hate 20 Questions Team Colleague

Ok, this should be the last question I have about completing my new computer system.
I have a 160GB ATA drive in my current HP system. It does not have an OS on it and is used for storage and programs only.
Should I uninstall all the programs that are installed on this drive before I move it to my new computer? It will be used for the same purpose, programs and storage- no OS.

Thanks

No need to remove anything from a storage drive ,that the purpouse of having one ! to save file and if needed take to another computer !
One thing though when you say programs do you mean the programs install EXE or do you mean you install programs on that drive instead of you master drive .

The problem how I see it is that we Windows users rely on 3rd party applications to secure our information. Why? Because M$ has done such a lousy job.
It looks to me like they cannot fill the holes fast enough, so they have to buy out another company and utilise their program to clean out the backwash :D. Can we trust an M$ security product??
If Windows were built with security in mind, there would be no need for the extraneous stuff.

True enough !

I just downloaded the manual for you board from the link in you first post all the info need to make the floppy is in chapter 5 - page 116 .aparently there is a utility on your motherboard Disk to create the floppy ,good luck

caperjack 875 I hate 20 Questions Team Colleague

Yes I believe it is F6. I am just unsure which drivers to copy onto a floppy from the CD. I know that a SATA drive is usually listed in the bios alongside SCSI, so I am leaning toward those drivers -considering the Motherboard doesn't have SCSI capabilities and thats the closest related folder on the CD.

you will need to explore the cd,i think you need to look for RAID drivers and or check the motherboard manufactors site to find the right ones.

I just purchased a new DVD burner with all the goodies. My problem is that I wanted to start making copies of my movies. I purchased a spindle of DVD+R Discs and when I try to burn it tells me that it does not have enough space to insert another one. I wanted to know if this was the Dual Layer Disc that I was supposed to buy or not. If it is that I must buy DL disc then how does bootleggers make money when those discs cost almost ten dollars a piece.

the Discs say DVD+R 120 Min then underneath it says extended play 240 min
Thanks for any help!

IO have a single layer dvd burner ,and have to use a program called dvdshrink or a burning program that shrinks the orignal and copys it to my Hard drive first.then burns that copy ,i believe that a duel layer burner also burns on single layer disks ,The 10$ be disk was why i went with the silgle layer burner .
I use Clone DVD to burn and DVDxCopy .DVD SHrink is free ware the others i mention aren't

I would be suspicious from now of the M$ product, because if one company can twist their arm to have their product removed from the definitions, then who knows how many more can???

good point !
About the program ,with it you has the abiility to remove everything that we have people remove with hijackthis , .like BHOs' ,programs that startup,running processes ,016.activeXs' with out doing a scan just go to the section of the program Advanced tools. I think it will become a popular spyware removal tool ,it also has autoupdates ,im running it now just for the heck of it ,not promoting its use just playing around !I think I might be looking for a excuse to Format and realod my OS.

I only done this once with one of my computers but i had a 4gig with OS and a seperat 500meg drive for swap and it worked just fine .
Also I have used OS on 5gig c:\ with all system files on the 5gig and changed the default install to d:\ and loaded all programs on D:\ partion ,this also made defrag faster .it all worked for me anyway .

Please do this.
Download 'Hijack This!'. http://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".

Your copy of HijackThis needs to be in a folder of it's own. When HJT fixes anything, it makes backups of the original files in the folder it is in. Since Temporary folders are emptied now and then (the files are DELETED), it would not be a good idea to have your backups there. Those backups would be VITAL to restoring your system if something went wrong in the FIX process!


1. Please go to you're 'My Documents' folder, right-click and select 'New > Folder' then name the folder 'HJT'.

2. Copy and paste HijackThis.exe to the new folder.

3. Close ALL windows except HJT

4. SCAN with HJT

For this one
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [New.net Startup] rundll32 C:\PROGRA~1\NEWDOT~1\NEWDOT~2.DLL,NewDotNetStartup -s

Open the Control Panel’s Add/Remove Programs list and use the entries for ‘New.net domains’ (B variant), ‘FirstLook’ (FirstLook variant) and ‘QuickSearch Toolbar’ (QuickSearch variant).

If these options are unavailable, try looking in the Windows folder and the Program Files\NewDotNet folder for an uninstaller. NewDotNet/B typically leaves uninstaller files here. There may be more than one; if so, try the installer with the highest version number in its name.

After that runhijack and fix the following if still there .

I just installed it to-say nad unlike ad-aware and spybot .it can run in the sys tray and run a watch like spywareguard .so far it seems ok
Before i installed it i ran ad-aware pro ,full scan cleaned all ,then install microsoft and it found 2 more references something called SearchSquire .in the registry ,and 1 crack spider in 5 different ones from Crack sites hanging around in my links from earlier years . I has Autoupdates and something called advanced tools that looks interesting and gives lots of control.worth a install just to have a look .i have it setup to run in realtime right along spywareguard and norton antiviri .seems to be behaving ok

First, download LSPfix here: http://www.cexx.org/lspfix.htm
Launch the application, and click the "I know what I'm doing" checkbox.
Check all instances of 'osmim.dll' (and nothing else), and move them to the "Remove" pane.
Then click Finish.
