Weird Spam
Dec 20, 2009
When I launch Internet Explorer 8 on my XP Pro machine, some crap starts loading, I see on the bottom of IE various sites (also clicking noise gives that away. The funny thing is, nothing pops up, does not re-direct.. And this is weird but all the sudden some gibberish sounds start playing... Sounds like multiple audio into one. I am in IT business, so I tried finding the source in Task manager, fully scanned for worms/trojans, you name it, and nothing was found!!This issue also locks up my IE, and I need to kill it... What the hell is it?? How do you troubleshoot something that only comes out from PC speakers??

I'd like to get rid of the periodic "pop-up" of McAfee warning to sign up on my new Toshiba Satellite A105 with Windows XP Home edition. Is there a way to 'uninstall' this stuff? I already have a DSL modem firewall and a Yahoo mail that stops spam, so don't want an added virus protector.

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.

Does anyone know of a good anti spam filter I can download, please, to filter out spam BEFORE it gets to my in box in Outlook Express?someone suggested mailwasher, but apparently you have to go thru mailwasher first, a little inconvenient.I know Zone Alarm and Norton filter it out before it goes in, but separate from that, is there another programme that I can download that does it the same way??I am tired of getting a couple genuine emails, and 20-30 spam ...

I have a need for transfering file sizes that exceed most ISP limitations.
These transfers would be between 4-5 individuals to start. I am considering
the FTP protocol. Can anyone recommend good host sites (I am looking at GoDaddy.com and a couple of others) plus what is a good program to prepare and send/receive these files? Another problems is the amount of spam/virus filters now being put in place almost everywhere. Our tranfers will xontain some .exe files and that causes most of these filters to declare them a virus or at least suspicious.

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?"

My screensaver will not turn on after a period of inactivity like it is supposed to. If I go into properties>Screensaver and set the "Wait" time to 5 and press "OK", in 5 five minutes the screensaver will come on. However, if I move the mouse and wait another five minutes the screensaver does not activate. It will only activate once per time you set its properties.

I've got a machine that I'm working on that has the following executes in the startup which I've never seen before and get no matches whatsoever on when I google them: bxbxxfky.exe mmizv.exe qfadh.exe xmmzeztc.exe I feel that I should probably just delete them, but considering my problems with a Dell that I'm working on (see Dell keeps looping, Ron the Geek) I'm a little gunshy. Anyone know what these odd little files are?

I'm really at a loss for words. For some odd reason, every now and again, I hear what sounds like the first second of the Linkin Park song Crawling. No idea where it's coming from. All of my mp3 players could be running or not and I've heard it. I've checked to make sure that if I had any browsers open, that there wasn't any kind of annoying flash advertisement doing it. I've updated my AVG Anti-Virus and ran that as well as AVG-Anti Spyware but I still hear the midi.

Thanks in advance for your help.The majority of the time when I close Internet Explorer, I get the following error message: "iexplore.exe Application errorThe instructions at "0x62304390" referenced memory at "0x62304390" . The memory could not be "read". Click on "ok" to terminate the problem" It doesn't seem to be affecting much although I experience some long waits for pages to load, especially in my Gmail account.I am running IE 6 and XP Pro SP2. I believe I am current with updates.Don't know if this is relevant, but it seemed to start appearing when I renewed my virus software (Trend PC-cillin).Another thing that may or may not be relevant. Recently defragged and still had quite a few fragmented files that could not be fixed. Redid the procedure and reduced the number of files but still seemed like a lot. It takes about 8 hours to completely defrag.My hard disk is about 6 months old.

I tried to install my old Nero w/full lic key but it wouldn't.
Giving up the idea... I proceeded to remove every file with Ahead Or Nero in it. Used jv 16 Power tools to remove left overs. Nothing now shows in jv16 or search of all files & folders (with hidden & system showing). Ran CCleaner including other MRUs etc.

I have a Windows XP and Comcast is my provider. Lately (started 2 weeks ago), while in the midst of doing a search or while viewing an internet news video, a BOX POPS UP and asks me if I want to WORK OFFLINE and I get automatically booted to WORKING OFFLINE. I know this is someone told me to CLICK ON "FILE" and there it is, a checkmark in front of WORK OFFLINE.

I am getting hanging at any time, where the harddrive light is on continuously, but the monitor is on standby. I sometimes get the blue screen, and other times it just won't boot to the Windows start-up screen In all cases though, when I do have a problem, a simple pressing of the reset button does not do anything, as the monitor never does come back on, therefore no reboot. Only after powering off and on a few times, does it finally kick in. I am on the same computer right now...which leaves me to believe it isn't a software or Windows problem, but perhaps hardware, either memory or video card, I have not installed any new hardware though

After doing multiple virus scans and HiJack this checkups, I do not know what is wrong as you can. Here is my problem. I was checking out some web links when all of a sudden my internet firefox crashed and could not reopen Firefox. After I clicked ctrl+alt+delete I found a process running called msiexec.exe. or something like that. I of course terminated the process and firefox booted up just fine.I found out just right now actually that I believe it is a process for installing things on the operating system made by microsoft

Newly installed copy of Windows XP SP2. Have installed most of my apps and games etc. Now noticing that my " key is not working very well. If i press it once - nothing. Press it again i get two " characters. Also works if i press it once and any other key. Its like the character is queing somewhere in the buffer. Now i thought it was the keyboard at first. So i swapped it out. Same problem. Weird. Thought it might be some strange interaction with loaded software but it happens on bootup at the login prompt when none of my apps are loading

I noticed today that the icons in some of my folders (not the desktop icons) look strange. The text where the file name is--some of them have blue text and others have the usual black text.What the heck is this, and what do I need to do to fix it?

I'm not sure what exactly happened. But anyways, here's the story. I was browsing the internet on sites I usually go to (gamespot, rapbattles, ign, etc) and then a TV show I wanted to watch came on. So I closed the internet (nothing was opened) and left it on the desktop as I watched TV. Then when the show was over,completely off. And I didn't shut it off! So then I powered it up, and it sat at the little windows xp loading screen, and just kept loading... and loading, and my computer was making a weird noise. So I turned it off via button. And turned it back on a few minutes later, and it went to this screen and said "Windows had a problem starting up" or something like that. And it gave a few options,
3 of them were Safe Mode (2 Safe mode options had something after it, not sure what

I been using my PC for a few years now & it's been fine ever since, but now every time I start my PC every application transforms into a different font/style before going back to normal. My system is a XP Home SP2 & I'm using Firefox as my browser.
The last month I have been going through spyware/malware cleaners, used everyone one of them including Hijack This. The problem does not seem to be spyware.Now the problem all started when I clicked on some website when I was searching for an old obscure foreign band, at that moment my browser turned into a completely different style for a second.

here's one that has me stumped. My right click option on one particular thing doesn't work. That particular thing being when I choose All Programs and then try to access a program by right clicking on it nothing happens. How I found this was I was going to "Sort by name" and get the programs in alphabetical order but I can't. In every other aspect the right click option works fine.
