    When was the last time you did some serious system maintenance on your machine ?
    Here's my usual C&P for cases like this:

    Quote:

    Originally Posted by Curlyben's maintenance tips

    System maintenance includes:
    Defrag
    FULL patching
    Virus scanning
    Spyware scanning
    removal of rubish files

    Defrag is an inbuilt function in XP.
    Open My Computer > Right click C: > Tools Tab and its there.

    To make sure everything is running fine run both anti virus and anti spyware apps in normal AND safe modes. (make sure that they are updated first ! ;)) (AVG is good and free AV)
    (A couple of good removal tools are Spybot and Adaware)

    ALso an on line virus and spyware scanner is Trend Housecall

    Just a note: actively running two AV's on one machine can cause problems.
    So if you are thinking about it make sure your current one is disabled first.
    Same thing applies to online scanners as well.


    Removal of junk files is easy with CCleaner a free app that does exactly what

    If all this fails then a repair install may be in order:

    Here's the official Micro$oft way of doing it,
    and Here's one with screen shots.

    Basically this installs windows over the top of your current setup.
    So you don't loose any information you already have.

    This lot should resolve your issue.

    Hi Curlyben,
    I have ran both spy sweeper and Nod32 in safe and normal modes several times, (I have been fighting this thing on and off for 4 days now), I also have SpyBot installed and updated. I regularly defrag my system, and surely will get ridd of junk files , thanks for the suggestion. But, I'm sure that is not going to fix my problems, however, I will try this free cleaner, as it's the only one I have yet to run.

    Will get back to you in a min.

    Thanks again
    Joe

    My recommendation of Adaware and Spybot is from experience as they catch 99.9% of malware.

    While you are in Safe Mode change you browsers home page and use Spybot to LOCK it down.
    Spybot does a lot more than just scanning your system, it stops infection, locks important system files and has a real time scanner (teatimer).

    Also try using Firefox instead of the insecure IE ;)

    Please try what I suggested. Make sure SpyBot is fully updated first, the use it in safe mode.

    I finally just broke down and bought the Norton protection center, and it works great. Worth every penny.
  • Apr 3, 2007, 02:33 PM
    Curlyben
    Matt, you must be one of the lucky ones as I have found that Norton and XP aren't good bed fellows.
  • Apr 3, 2007, 02:54 PM
    224836
    I personally don't like Norton very much, find it really slows down everything, I was very happy for the last couple of years with Nod32, but delayed the new registration for a couple of weeks and that's when I got infected!
    I guess the only way is trough some guy who knows his hijackthis very well, I have ran spybot several times, and also all the others as I said, so I really feel that its not something which will be detected, rather something that I have installed unknowingly, and clicking yes to something totally different but that's what was hidden underneath ( I guess)
    Any other sugestions?

    Thanks for yr help

    Maybe a registry fixer. I have had some problems with that. Or there is always the option of wiping your PC.
