It was almost good to read some of the other related problems people have been experiencing lately. It seems to me my calls for virus/spyware problems are way down from this time last year. Am I the only one to experience that?
The first link (haven't read the others yet) mentions being shut down. Is legal action pending? If not, I assume they will just open under another name.
I've got a user who suddenly is losing messages out of their inbox and I'm not sure where they are going. He gets a new message, views it, perhaps clicks on another folder, then when he comes back to the inbox, the message is gone. Archiving is set to move anything that is 6 months old, and...
If you have ever connected to a peer-to-peer network, your machine will continue to advertise that network pretty much forever if you don't specifically turn off the ad hoc connection capability."
Is everyone happy with this explanation? I noticed it earlier this year, but this week I had 9...
I work for a large corporation with hundreds of sites and we get frequent visitors from those other sites with their laptops. I am always seeing new Wireless connections popping up when we have visitors. For example, this week I have been seeing WifiInn, Wireless network, or Free public Wifi...
At first I didn't think much of it, but this weekend I had a customer with a Celeron 800 running XP Pro, his system stated NTFS.sys was missing and to select the repair function from the setup CD. I am in the process of reintalling that one. Came into work this morning and 8 new Dell Optiplex...
After installing beta 3, IE 7 is giving me a lot of warnings of allowing the website to access my clipboard. These have all been websites I trust. Anyway to turn this off?
After posting I found this on MS site
Uninstalling Internet Explorer 7 Beta 2, Beta 2 Preview, or Beta 1
To uninstall Internet Explorer 7 Beta 2, Beta 2 Preview, or Beta 1 and return to Internet Explorer 6 on Windows XP or Windows Server 2003
Click "Start", and then click "Control Panel"...
I really do. Beta 2, has a couple of minor annoyances on my machine, so I was happy to see Beta 3 out. The problem is I can't install it. When the installation runs, it says the program is already install, remove the existing program using ADD/REMOVE PROGRAMS in the CONTROL PANEL. Uninstall...
I guessing you mean the Free version. I have been using the paid version for years and it is great. just be carefull what you are downloading"
Yea, thats it, at least for this customer, the virus they contracted came from a bogus download.
I worked on a PC this weekend with BearShare. I haven't seen that spyware choked pig in awhile. They also have limewire. I've only seen Limewire once before. Is it another source of problems, or perhaps more legitimate.
Its easy to see how even people with some IT exerpience could be tricked by those ads at the top of the search results on download.com. I guess the cost of the site has to be paid somewhere. I was not however, aware of the people coming to forums like this and deliberately pushing their...
I had thought that the pc was clean, after removing several trojans, but I've decided it just isn't worth it. Its a college kid of my regular customer. I had already once reformatted because of viruses. The mistake I made was, after completing the laptop the first time I only checked to see...
Do as Pech suggests, but also try ad-aware in Safe mode. Things are changing so fast in the spy/ad/malware fields these days I've found I can't depend on any single stand alone spyware scan product.
