I was running Ad-adware SE Personal and it freezes on the file C:1386DAJAVA.CAB I was wondering wether that file can be deleted or is it important. I also ran Ewido but didnt have a problem.
Have read many threads on this and other sites and tried everything suggested (except swap out CD drive - don't have a working older drive to try). This PC is at least 5-6 yrs old - has original Hitachi CD/DVD Drive (reader, not writer). Have unplugged ALL devices from back of computer. Just has (1)internal CD/DVD drive and (1) internal LS120 floppy drive left installed.Something happened to computer - Windows XP Pro would no longer run. Tried re-installing Windows XP Pro. using OEM CD with hologram. Attempted to do a repair install, instead of a fresh install - hoping to be able to keep all programs/devices intact.During installation, computer got stuck on: "The file 'asms' on Windows XP Pro Serv Pack1 CD is needed" Type the path where the file is located and click OK""Copy files from: Global RootDeviceCDRom0I386."The screen is locked, and I can not type or change anything. Can NOT change the path. Can not hit SHIFT F10 to get to a DOS prompt.
I am having odd freezes, mostly with Windows Explorer. Windows Explorer freezes when: I right-click on any file. I try to use the 'Edit' command from the main menu, unless I am in 'My Documents' or at a higher level. I right-click Windows 'Start' button. Can I re-install Windows Explorer? Is it a registry problem?
Recently, I tried to open a very large file into Photoshop. It froze, and my computer crashed, so I restarted it by turning off and on the power. When it started up, it was normal, but it got to that screen that tells you that it was shut down incorrectly, and asks if you want to go into safe mode, normal mode, last good configuration, etc.When I go into normal mode (or last good configuration), it gets to the Windows Startup screen (flag w/ green bars moving below), but then the computer just restarts itself.
My laptop is an Asus Infusion I am running Win XP Pro . I recently downloaded a regestry cleaner called tuneup. When I go to access my system file this is the message I get Resource file <C_SpuRsDll> Not Found! this freezes up the the system.

What is the best software to get rid of adware and/or viruses. I have done everything, I have norton and spy ware, but it seems all temp files are locked and I can not get rid of the. This happened going to a site to sell a motocycle and this si slowing my system down.
I have spyware that is in my registry. I have run spybot & adware but cannot get this spyware to be removed. I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions on how to find spyware in my registry? Where it is located?
I am about at the end of my rope with my daughters computer. She has AdWare or whatever. I have run Spybot S&D v1.2, Spyware Doctor v3.2.1, Microsofts Anti Spyware v Beta 1 and Ad-Aware SE. I have run them all numerous times and the last time I ran As-Aware, it didn't find anything I've taken our over 600 bugs. After all of that, when I connect to my ISP either FireFox or IE, the screen goes crazy with adware screens and I get continuous IE errors. I have all the MS updates.
I've been having tons of trouble trying to remove spyware and adware from my computer, I've tried multiple different programs but have been unable to clean them all out.
I have spybot, Ad-Aware SE, a2 squard, Norton antiVirus, CW Shredder and Just Downloaded Spyware Doctor. All updated. Ran all and none of them found anything except Ad Aware found Data Miners and tracking cookies. Got rid of them. Then I ranSpyware Doctor and it came up with these.
I'v recently had a lot of virus, spam, adware problems with my pc. After a vain attempt to clean it up I reinstalled the OS. Now whenever I try to access my old desctop/my documents folder I get an 'access is denied' error. It is an NTFS file system.
I am having trouble loading software on my computer after removing adwareand spyware. Every time I try to install new software I get the followingerror messag: C:WindowsSystem32Autoexec.NT. The system file is not suitable for running MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows applications. Choose 'Close' to terminate the application.
I had some malware or adware that I got rid of , I think. In the process, I may have made a mess of things and now I have this blue screen appearing regularly with the message: "page_fault_in_nonpaged_ area " along with some instructions to disable bios memory options such as caching and shadowing and it often reloads. There are also some 0x00000050 type numbers that change each time.I also upgraded to service pack 3 with no change.I can usually hit function 8 and I am back in business unless I let the machine sit idle when the blue screen reappears. I reinstalled XP with no different results.

I had a message that my PC is infected by Spyware/adware this morning and it took me to PSGuard.com to install something to disinfect my PC. is it OK to use this or should I use something else?
I think my computer has a worm. I've been using A2 and Ad-aware to try to clean it up, unsuccessfully. It says it found trojan horses and eliminated them but they're always back. - My automatic updates are shut off, can't fix it. - My service Pack 2 disappeared, along with the firewall. - Sophos became disabled. - My CD drive is only recognized periodically
Everytime I open a spyware or adware removal program it will just exit on it's own. Spybot S&D, Ad-Aware, and even the spyware removal tool on System Mechanic 4
I download the full version of sp2 here http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en and I will burn this one file on a cd so:Can I just double click on this one file and it will install without being on the internet?Will this one file install everything I need to update my xp pro to sp2?I did all the ad-ware and virus scan and defrag, so I hope this one file works
Normally there is only one account on my computer. But I see something added a second one. What is it and why is it there? I did a scan for adware / viruses and I removed / fixed everything I found. Look here
Restored entire pc as a result of spyware and adware. It's quick and clean, and I've never had a problem doing it before. I restored to Win98SE, then upgraded to XP Home, then downloaded Service Pack 2. Everything went smoothly. Then, tried to add Fax Service. First of all, it tells me to load the XP cd; then it says it can't find a .dll file it needs; continue without it? Yes. The job completes, but then I discover that IE and OE have disappeared. Back to "add windows components". Check IE and OE. Run the job and it ends "successfully". Check Fax, and it's gone, but IE and OE are back (with all the settings I had done after SP2). Does anyone have any idea what's going on here?
I have a Pentium 4, 2.4 ghz, 2 GB ram. I have automated antivirus updates/checking from Panda, and spyware/adware detection/removal. I do jsp development using JDeveloper and on occasion my system would lock up (no Ctrl-Alt-Delete). I put up with it thinking that it was a JDeveloper peculiarity. A few weeks ago my system started locking up when the Panda antivirus software was running on start up. So I stopped the service and tried to run Panda manually. It locked up. I uninstalled Panda and tried another antivirus software. It locked up. Also, my spyware program locks up and it will intermittently lock up now at other times when I'm not using any of the above software
I'm trying to get rid of abetterinternet.aurora which I believe to be some sort of adware or spyware. I get appeox123 problems from it everytime I run Spybot. Spybot get rid of the problems but they keep coming back
Evidently, the vic32.dll was removed when I removed some adware/spyware that had infected my PC. I have since re-downloaded the vic32.dll, but do not know where to locate it. Can someone tell me in what folder the vic32.dll should reside?
When I run my Adware my AV pops up and says I have this Java.Shinwow.BA virus. It doesnt give me any way to clean it out so i'm wondering if this isn't some sort of spyware rather than an actual virus. Can somebody tell me how to delete this from my PC?
Windows XPCompaq 52002.7 GHZ512 MBWould like to know how to find out what is running in the background when I'm on. I have a problem with the computer freezing up when I try to do two things at once. Never had the problem until 2 weeks ago. Have done all the disk scan,defagment,checked all my adware & viris programs.
Have installed Kazaa, Imesh, Limewire and eMule. Have deleted Kazaa and iMesh, yet my Pest Control keeps telling me that I have P2P and TOPics coming up though I ran the delete several times. Do I need to worry about this or how do I get rid of it for good?? I want to keep Limewire and eMule.
Let's say I want to make Adware invisible to anybody who uses my computer. Some real primitive answer is to delete it from the menu and also its shortcut icon. The problems is that you can still see it if you go to Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel. Is there any way to make it invisible there and other places where it can be seen as installed? I've found tons of software to just "hide it away with a keystroke," like when you're trying to "hide it from your boss." In that case what you can do is just use Alt+Tab and Presto !
I ran a scan with AVG and during the scan it found "Adware.BiSpy". That sound ominous. It recommended I "Ignore Once". I decided to delete it instead.
But when I go to delete, A grey box pops up that says:
" WARNING: C:WINDOWSsystem32C55bLs.dll/bi.dll cannot be removed because it is embedded in the archive C:WINDOWSsystem32C55bLs.dll. Do you want to remove the whole archive?"
