    Fake HiJackThis

    Thanks for the heads up. I guess this is your fault for not registering every even close sounding domain name including misspelled versions :) Yea, we know Firefox is great. Some of us have customers who have no choice but to run IE, Blasting IE in every post is not helpful

    Error Message in DOS!

    This maybe way off base, I haven't done this in years, but are you missing the ^z at the end of the batch file? Yea, we know Firefox is great. Some of us have customers who have no choice but to run IE, Blasting IE in every post is not helpful

    Win98 can't find a mouse!!!

    Is the keyboard and mouse plugs reversed? Don't laugh - it happens! -good point, I've seen such a condition cause a variety of problems that vary from motherboard to motherboard. Some early Tyan motherboards wouldn't get past hte bios POST that way with no error given. Yea, we know Firefox...

    about:blank, now on steroids!

    Hi all, I think I just had a client call me with a system that this problem. I still digesting all in this thread. I may have stumbled through this and fixed their system, but I guess I'll find out Monday. One odd thing about this spyware app, the first popup ad was for a specific online...

    PCWorld likes Counter-Spy

    I'd be interested to know where MS would have ranked had they allowed it to be ranked with the rest. However, I still cannot see paying for spyware protection when so many reliable products exist for free." They did mention it worked well for them, but they didn't have time for proper...

    virus and spyware found - deleted- internet still very slow

    To add to what Erik said, since you know how to access the registry, look again at many keys such as run or runservices, some of this crud knows how to reinstall itself as fast as you delete it. After running the mentioned spyware products, or others, look again at those two particular keys...

    elaborate unknown virus?

    You mentioned the host file, did you search for duplicates, or actually look inside? Sometimes in situations like this a program called Winsockfix has helped restore web access. I dont' remember where I got it, but can email you a copy.

    elaborate unknown virus?

    Deleting the run button is certainly new to me. I've seen a couple of virus advisories this week, but haven't seen the actual virus yet. I assume you have checked the websites for the latest viruses. Perhaps try the latest version of McAfee's stinger? I assume its been updated this week.

    Pop Up Ads

    Just a note, this forum contains its own spyware/virus section, the topic is growing and changing rapidly. Lots of good information to be found.

    Internet mail service keeps stopping

    Zelandakh Getting <> in your outbound queue is not always cured with a patch. Look at read receipts to the Internet and relaying. Have you all tested to see if you are relaying? Well, my IMS is no longer crashing and I was keeping the outbound queue free of <> last week, but there were...

    Vertical banding on Laserjet printer copy?

    Usually the cartridge - True, but could it be a fuser? I've got a problem with a 4100 repeating images about 3 times down each page. (Original image at top right, has ghosts down the page. I've replaced the cartridge and cleaned, I've never changed a fuser in a 4100.

    Internet mail service keeps stopping

    Right after I posted that message, it crashed again and refused to restart the service. I tried for a couple of hours. In another thread someone thought it was Code Red going around again. I ran the clean up utility, ran the code red patch and it started up again. Up for 2 hours now.
