After I cleaned up his pc the best I could and ran Spybot and Adaware I ran Hijack this. They have a program that downloads weather information and could be spyware. It does download ads. (I think it's called weather bug) I'm trying to convince them to get rid of it. It comes up in the Spybot scans as mini bug or something.
View 9 RepliesAlright, I have no clue as to what this problem may be caused by. I've ran Spybot S&D as well as Adaware and nothing has improved. My CPU usage still runs at 100% regardless of my rebooting and such.
I've got an AMD athlon xp 2700, 1024 mb ram, & Windows XP SP2.
I am the administrator (at least I assume I am since I set up our home computer) on my home Dell Dimension. I try and run AdAware and Spybot regularly but it seems that I have to go to each desktop (there are five users on our home computer) to run them to make sure I clean up everything. As you can imagine, especially since my kids do a lot of cruising (most of it supervised), it takes a long time. I am hoping there is some way to be able to run these apps from my desktop and globally cover all desktops at once, but I haven't found it. Any suggestions out there? Thanks.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a Gateway 400VTX laptop running windows xp pro. Sound suddenly stopped on it; I don't know exactly when or after what. It was working during the initial days of Hurricane Katrina because I was listening to the news feeds on it, so sometime in the last week or so I noticed it stopped.
I have done the following to troubleshoot:
Run antivirus - norton internet security & trend micro free scan Run adaware and spybot
After a fresh install of windows and downloading SP2 etc plus some other things like a few games, adaware, spybot and kaperspy, I was just browsing (just a normal site, no porn) and I got the explore.exe encountered a problem and needs to close. I can still do browsing and open stuff etc. I tried reinstalling sp2, replacing the explorer.exe file, unchecking non-microsoft programs in msconfig, all with no result. I'm probably gonna just install Litestep and say screw it, but am wondering
View 3 Replies View RelatedTwice so far in the past 4 days my computer has restarted itself automatically. When I get back to the desktop I check the task manager to see if any foul programs are running (which I didn't recognize any) and I noticed my CPU usage was fluctuating between 50% - 100%, never lower. I rebooted into safe mode and the CPU usage was norma (bouncing between 1 - 10%). I've ran adaware, spybot, and trend micro online virus scan which all came up clean. I haven't gotten any error messages or anything like it.
View 10 Replies View RelatedA while I had Limewire and Kazaa in my computer(like an idiot). Now I have a spyware problem, possible virus too.I have Ad aware and Spybot search and destory.
Both will detect the problems but cannot delete it.I have found the files,(its "search miracle") but XP will not allow me to delete them.
"Cannot delete, being used by another program."but no other progams are running.
When I try to do a Virus scan now with my McAfee, my computer will restart half way thought the search. and now, at random, my computer will restart itself anytime.
I have been experiencing random crashes, freezes and especially error messages for a while now.I ran and reran updated versions of ad-aware, spybot, Norton, hijack this, a million times,defragged and did a couple of files clean-ups to no avail.
I posted my problems on various boards and nobody that helped did fix it

View 4 Replies View RelatedI am working on a PC for a friend and after installing Adaware,Spybot S&D, Spywareblaster and Avast I found too many things wrong with the PC and was trying to just reinstall Windows instead. I followed Dells instructions to Hold down Control and then hit F11 and then release both at the same time to get to the restore screen. Well it never came up and I got to the Safe Mode Last Known Good Configuration screen instead. I kept trying and nothing would change, so I picked Safe Mode. Now all I get is the BSOD that states Unmountable boot volume. Stop Error 0x000000ed (0x83376900,0xc0000006,0x0000000,0x0000000)

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am new to this forum and would be happy if anyone can help me with this problem. (Forgive my english, it is not very good!)I am using a Windows XP laptop, used it in the office and at home. It is now extremely slow. I have read some threads and have done somethings (maybe right, maybe wrong) based on those threads... I am not good with computers and having difficulty to figure out what these threads are saying.I have installed Ad-aware and run it regularly, sometimes twice a day and everytime it will find a few critical items. I also do trend micro scan but there are certain things that I can't understand. I also do Panda active scan but it found one adware that it cannot disinfect.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI have a pretty old and crappy computer with a 40gb HDD. Just a week ago I had like 13-14 GB free on it. Then I got a virus. I successfully cleared out all traces of the virus that I could find using ad-aware and trend micro house call.When I was scanning with adaware, it shows the filenames and paths being scanned. There were all of these files(and I mean thousands) with porn names, and I had never put them there. Adaware didn't catch them as any sort of bad file either. The weird thing is, when I went to the directory that it said they were located in, nothing was there. I even made hidden files visible and still nothing.
