sharky2009 Posted February 12, 2009 Author CID Share Posted February 12, 2009 Or just dump the AdAware for the Super anti-spyware. It gets way more stuff anyway. AdAware ran too slow for what it did for me, so I ditched it long ago, and no problems. I had Superantispyware and it found nothing. I just added AdAware a few days ago AFTER I started this post and it did find that crypt trojan that Spybot and Superantispyware did not. I don't have Adaware running at startup (system tray). I am using it as a backup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mudmanc4 Posted February 12, 2009 CID Share Posted February 12, 2009 This is actually good news, once you get rid of virus's, look for more, there gonna be there. Now, after your confident (as much as any of us could be) that your system is free of the nasties, place your OS install disk in, (hit exit when the autorun screen comes up) goto start~run type "CMD" type "sfc /scannow" without the quotation marks. This will depending on the severity, it could take 45 mintes, what this does is scan and verify system files the OS needs in certain places, and repair/replace as needed. I should add, you will need the XP cd key as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am going to spread the word out like a madman about this site!!! I do have a couple of other questions though just to finish this off.... What would you recommend as the best defragger (freeware please)? I currently use the following: Defraggler What would you recommend as the best regcleaner? I currently use the following: Easycleaner 2.0 (that I can't seem to update) and Glary Utilities and Advanced System Care And I only use 1 regoptimizer: Netregopt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudmanc4 Posted February 12, 2009 CID Share Posted February 12, 2009 Good, dammit, that was pissin me off Anyway, get rid of that crap of a defrag program, it's just mire useless crap on your machine that surely "phones home", just use windows, it's worked for a century or more. I never use anything more than ccleaner, and spybot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommie gorman Posted February 12, 2009 CID Share Posted February 12, 2009 Yeah windows defrag works best really. And ccleaner is always the tops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharky2009 Posted February 13, 2009 Author CID Share Posted February 13, 2009 Yeah windows defrag works best really. And ccleaner is always the tops. I'm so pissed off now! I used my regcleaners (Ccleaner, AdvanceSystem Care, Glary Utilities and EasyCleaner and now the pages for realgm and nba.com are coming up just like before! I am going to uninstall Glary Utitilities and Advanced System Care. Is there a way to update EasyCleaner? Is there another regcleaner any of you guys can recomment?

tommie gorman Posted February 13, 2009 CID Share Posted February 13, 2009 Once again the safest one is windows version. "Disk Cleanup". Its in your puter. And just use ccleaner once in a while for a thorough cleaning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess we found the issue now haven't we ? But listen, it might be a setting within the cleaner programs, deleting something it should not be, or installing something nasty lol Just go bck and go through the same steps again, except this time, use the ccleaner link, it has a section to clean registry "turds" left all over the place from those programs that you were using.

So far that is two infections caught in two weeks by Superantispyware and Adaware. Two keepers for sure. Pages are loading better again but I want to be on top of it so I am doing daily scans...

mudmanc4 Posted February 19, 2009 CID Share Posted February 19, 2009 Now what is happening is the page is loading completely but it takes a second for it to appear. AAARGH!! I'm going to take the same stab at this I did close to 90 posts ago, and say you have a virus that seems to be running rampid as VD did in the late seventies, called "vundo". This thing hides, and installs virus, after virus, you'll not only never get completely rid of it, but anyone you send an email to will raise there chances by 99% of retaining it as well. Pixie had this one a week or ten days ago, she did the right thing, and reformatted. You can google it to learn, (or till you turn blue) but in the time you spend searching out all the things you have to do to get it right, you can back it up, scan your backups, and write zero's to the drive , if not give it a half dozen random passes to insure to get the drive as scrambled as possable, and install your fresh OS. You decide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
