I recently started getting an icon that flashes in my system tray warning me about adware and spyware activity going on in my system. I emmediately purchased NORTON INTERNET SECURITY to help solve the problem. After installing and scanning the whole system and removing whatever threats norton thought there was, the icon still remains. It still flashes in my system tray.

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.

View 4 Replies View RelatedRestored 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?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI 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 am running Win XP Pro with SP2 (standard setup). The problem: A couple of the icons in the system tray don't show up on re-boot. Specifically, the 'safely remove hardware' icon, and a backup utility called 'second copy' that runs on startup. When I 'restore' to the exact same point, everything is fine. When I reboot, gone again. And when they are gone, I can't run the backup utility (it won't start). What is different about the restore utility that makes it work if I restore to the same exact point. This all started with I tried to uninstall and reinstall Norton Utilities (which seems to be working fine).
View 8 Replies View Relatedwhen the system boots, many of the icons do not appear in the system tray. most of the time, only the Mcafee security center is running in the system tray, and the wireless network and local area connection icons are there, with nothing else appearing. what should appear is the battery meter icon (thats probably the most annoying thing), the volume icon, AVG free edition, nokia pc suite, dell quickset, dell support, microsoft spyware, and the winamp tray icon.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI received a Windows error last night, and since then, I no longer have a system tray. I can't remember what file it mentioned or what I was doing at the time (I was on the brink of being clinically unconscious I was so tired). I recall it possibly being an 'nt' dll file. I turned off the computer last night, not really thinking anything of it, but today, the system tray is still not there. The clock is, but no icons.
