Firstly sorry for the lack of posting but i have had a lot of family problems within the last 3 or so weeks so not only has the internet been without me, but work etc has too! Anyway now im back on the net i have spyware! GREAT!! :Hangman: I have used spybot s&d, spy doctor, spy blaster BUT NOTHING!!!! Spybot keeps detecting the same spybot over and over and i keep deleating it but everytime i run the scan option it apears again!! :smt011 can anyone recognise this directory? C:\WINDOWS\System32\shdoclc.dll/dnserror.htm#http://c1dcon.ewizard.cc/popup14.php?pin=4 Its the address of the pop ups that i keep getting but i cant delete it :Hangman: HELP ME! I get 8 pop ups at a time too!! :Hangman:
try adaware ( http://www.adaware.com i think, i forgot!) to remove the spyware then use mozilla firefox 0.8 for your browser ( http://www.mozilla.org) :smt023
i could swear ive had this but different. . . Ask here http://www.pcguide.com/vb/forumdisplay.php?s=d28e3f0b14f9ecaac7a5618df2cc4157&forumid=34
mozilla rulz ^^ but its so damn slow to open, if you just want the webbrowser install thunderbird *also in mozilla.com* mozilla has irc,email manager and a bunch of other stuff thats why is so slow to open
If you are using XP, try turning off System Restore (System Control Panel, System Restore tab) before running the spyware scanner/virus scanner/whatever. This is what we do at work: 1) Turn off System Recovery 2) Run Ad-aware 3) Run Spybot 4) Run TrendMicro Housecall 5) Do all critical updates and this gets rid of 99.9% of problems. I do also heartily recommend using Mozilla Firefox as your web browser in the future.
Another good idea is to download the free ZoneAlarm firewall (I forgot the URL, but just Google it), as a lot of the spyware and crap is now able to sneak on via an open internet connection, and sooner or later you get my recurring problem of being blasted with about 8 trojans at once. I hate ZoneAlarm, however, because you have to okay with it every single program you want to use the internet with, plus it does goofy crap to MSN Messenger (you have to close and reopen messenger to get it to work). Other than that, it works nice. And if you're in need of a free antivirus (which can sometimes take care of spyware) try AVG Antivirus free edition at http://www.grisoft.com Hope this works, and hope things at home shape up too! :drinkers:
Cheers guys!! :smt023 Have a drink on me all of you, i followed all of your advice given and i have Zero ads/ pop ups anymore!!! :smt040 A lot of people recommend firefox as a browser, its something im definatly looking into at this moment!
