**Kato** · 05-23-2004, 07:11 PM

i just got a new computer and things are not goin to well w/ this new bitch! and my computere skills are not to sharp! so if you can help please do!

1st my home page, which i set to yahoo gets taken over by some bs page, then immediately following comes a page from a online casino. the casino page leaves an icon w/ freesexxx as the icon name? so i change it back to yahoo and the m/f comes back. wtf is this about.

DUDE its a dell so mcafee came w/ it. so i run a virus scan tonight and 17 files were infected? crazy. amways here are some of the files names and trojan or program names they are infected w/.

DOCUMENTS AND SETTING
adware-virtumondo
ip sentry
adware-net pald.dr
adware searchcentrix
vbs/psyme

PROGRAMFILES/COMMON FILES
adware-keenvalue
downloader-gf

SYSTEMS VOLUME INFORMATION
adware-better inet
downloader-gf
adware cliker-o

WINDOWS
ADWARE-searchcentrix
ipsentry
adware-netpals

any ideas as to what this **** is and where it would come from?

some of the said programs/trojans were deleted

some can not be deleted, so i think my only other option is to quarantine them. is this correct? and when i qurantine them what does that do for me?

2 lines read as such
c:/documentsetting/kato/local the file was not found trojan name:vbs/pyme

c:/documentsettings/kato/local the file was not found progam name:adware-netpals.dr

what the hell do i do w/ these 2 ****s?

man, and these pop ups are killin me. where can i get a pop up blocker?

thanks

not even close. quit hijacking your own thread

anyways about your PC, if you know how, i'd format & reinstall everything. your windows cd is pretty much self explanatory if you keep it in the drive during a reboot.

If you just got it then wipe it clean and start over. Your webpage is hijacked because of spyware it seems your spyware program (ad-aware) is infected. You downloaded something you shouldn't have... (too much internet porn).

Go here:http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/c...tml#byteverify

Then scroll down to almost the bottom and look for the heading labeled: "Epilogue-The fix known as CWShredder", download it and run it. Make sure all windows are closed prior to running. Read up on that site-lots of knowledge and prevention.
