Panda Active Scan?
Feb 11, 2006I just ran the Panda scan and it turned up a list with 18 spywares and one possible hacker tool in the registry. Their solution for these intrusions is to buy the software but I do not want to do that. I have saved the scan report so what would be the best way to manually fix/delete these things.

Sep 6, 2003There are two excellent spyware removal apps available and they are both FREE so there is no reason to not use them regularly. The two best apps there are for removing spyware are SpyBot Search & Destroy and Ad Aware. IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT YOU USE BOTH OF THESE APPS SINCE ONE FINDS WHAT THE OTHER MISSES AND VICE VERSA, YOU ARE NOT SAFE USING JUST ONE OF THEM. There is one other app that I HIGHLY recommend is for spyware prevention, SpywareBlaster. This app sets certain registry entries that prevent spyware from ever installing, it DOES NOT run in the background using any resources, you just set it and forget it. Once you have installed these three MUST HAVE apps you then need to update them and keep them up to date. I would recommend checking for updates weekly, it’s just like your antivirus app, you need to stay protected from the latest spyware out there. To update SpyBot just open the app from your start menu (use the advanced mode option) and select “search for updates” it will then show you what updates are available for download, always install all the updates. Another feature that SpyBot has is called “Immunize”, you will see an icon for it. Select the icon and under “Permanent Internet Explorer Immunity” select “Immunize” this works in the same way as SpywareBlaster in blocking new spyware. It also gives you the option of locking your hosts file against hijackers, I highly recommend using this option as well. To update Ad Aware just open it and select “Check for updates now”. For SpywareBlaster it is mostly the same, open it up and select “Check for updates” once you update this you then must select “select all” and then “Protect against checked items” so that the updates you just did take effect. Anything these apps find is spyware and should be removed, if you choose not to remove what is found then you have no one to blame if your pc crashes due to spyware or your privacy is invaded (including these companies stealing your credit card number and identity

Sep 3, 2005I get alot of system crashes lately and completly being thrown off the internet. I then noticed blinking of the screen when asking to do certain tasks. I have Norton Anti Virus running and is up to date. Everything from AOL{my ISP} to main commands of the system act up and will not function. When I restart my computer, go into SAFE MODE, Click System Restore, the problem does not go away and keeps doing the same thing. I try running commands in the RUN box and the function comes up and then dissappears, I also try deleting some file's that may have currupted other tasks and it will not let me. I then had two viruses that Norton picked up and nothing happened and then deleted.." So either theres more I cant see" or, it's verry possible that my computer is being run by someone other than me

Jul 16, 2005The machine: Compaq Pressario SR1103 Window XP Home, 256 MB PC2700, ASUS CDRW, NAV.I ran Microsoft Antispyware Beta 1. Found and removed eZula.WebOffer, eZula.TodText, Target Saver Trojan Downloader, SearchForIt.Adshooter, and Hotbar Shopping Reports. After rebooting, all the text in Windows is gibberish, (Symbols). Will a system recovery, using the recovery disk fix the problem, Are there other possible fixes?
The system has a D: partition, which apparently contains the Recovery Console. It's an option at the boot screen. Is it possible to repair this particular problem from the Recovery Console, or is the Repair install my only option

Apr 20, 2005I did do the online scan with TrendMicro and Panda and found alot of adware and trojans which I deleted. The Windows Update site will launch but I get the 80070424 error everytime until I run the "regsvr32.exe wuaueng.dll"!. Then the updates will DL but not install, The problem is I have to run this "regsvr32.exe wuaueng.dll" after every reboot. The Security Center also reports that Automatic Live Update is off when in fact it is enabled. The above string fixes this but next reboot it goes back I downloaded the file and tried to run but NOTHING happens. The same with AVG or adaware. These just do not launch Other programs like Word and Excel launch fine. What is this! I am now at a breaking point

Aug 14, 2006I have windows xp 2000. Anyways I used to download a lot of movies and anime off of Morpheus. Suddenly one day this black box appeared and stated SPYWARE INFECTION, also the entire screen behind it is blue. But most importantly of all is the run cmd function. The screen C:WINDOWSsystem32cmd.com comes up and there is this ridiculous long code of some sort with smily faces, spades, and all kinds of other characters that I am not familiar with. Secondly, there is a sub screen below this one that reads 16 bit MS-DOS Subsystem.

May 18, 2007I just performed a full system scan on my computer using AVG Spyware. The process (doing nothing else and having no other programs running) took 35 minutes and scanned 245,000 + "objects". My question is simple, and may leave me looking foolish, but I have to ask...is it "normal" for a computer used by only 2 people for only 3 months to have that many "objects"?

Feb 24, 2005Does 66 running processes seem like a lot? I cannot seem to find a thread regarding this. (I'm sure there is, stopped looking after 45 minutes) It doesn't seem to slow my computer at all. I AM running quite a bit on here as far as spyware, virus scans, webshots, etc. It's also a media center 2004 computer with all the trim so there are quite a few windows processes on there. Even with AOL running, my computer is only using 430MB of RAM and I have 1GB.

Sep 5, 2007I installed the what I thought was a sample to Panda Internet Security from the site a while back.The icon is shown on startup for about 3 seconds then disappears.I cannot open the program (even from C Drive).When I try to uninstall it, it literally does nothing (I click the button, nothing pops up, nothing happens, the program is still there).So I tried to delete the whole program file from C:// today and a pop-up come up saying"Cannot delete scoffset.bin.incr: It is being used by another person or program".***I have also noticed when I first start up my computer and I try and go on the internet via FireFox, a similar pop up comes up saying that another person/program is using the file. FireFox then pops up normally after a couple clicks & 5 minutes later.

Nov 19, 2006I went to use PerfectDisc yesterday, it suggested I do a bootup scan, I did, allowed it to do pagefile scan too. Ran fine. Then rebooted, went to do regular scan. it locked up on the Blue Screen of Death.
"Bad_Pool_Header" and gave some error info... 0x00000019, and so on.
Computer runs fine though otherwise, which is funny.
Then when I try to go to Registry Mechanic and scan, it goes all the way through, and on I believe the deepscan, it always goes to BSOD there. I think while it's in the HKEY section of current user.
There may be other programs that will cause the BSOD, but these 2 are the only ones so far. Please guide me through this....Anyone.

USB Driver Removal
Sep 11, 2006Back when I first installed x64 many months ago, I apparently installed the VIA USB 2.0 driver, before I knew that wasn't required on this OS. Looking for the cause of another problem, while looking through the Event Manager, I found a couple of system errors that turned out to be USB filters that the system was blocking. I didn't even remember installing the driver, and when I check in Add/Remove Programs, it's not listed. I decided to simply delete the filters and the USB driver folder. However, after rebooting, I wasn't able to use my mouse, so I couldn't restore the driver from the Recycle Bin. I ended up having to do a System Restore, which set things as they were. Still, I'm looking for a way to remove this that won't cause problems. The only thing that I can think of is to try a repair installation of the OS, but I'm unsure that would do this either. I'm guessing that the VIA driver fouled up the native USB on the system, and this is the root cause of some mouse problems that I have been trying to fix for a long time.

Oct 24, 2006We had pcguard as the defences provided by blueyonder, our broadband provide,r for about a year and it worked very well. They then announced a new version and when I downloaded it, the windows were too small for the screens behind them and the procedure was unusable. I asked blueyonder for help but ended up with a frozen pc. I managed to restart it myself and then, tried to uninstall the new pcguard but it won't go away. There is a possibility to instal a new version of the pcguard, but it will not install because the former version will not go. The computer has been behaving strangely since. e.g. :
1] Saying it has to configure HP1Z423 for some things like email or internet, which it did not do before.
2] Starting up in something which looks a bit like safe mode screen, but when enter is pressed, it starts up normally.
