I am trying to clean out my registry from adware files .when I go to "RUN" Regedit the registry editor pops up and quickly goes away. Is thereanother way to edit the registry should I try it in Safe Mode
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 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 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?
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
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

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 defrag on my C drive, the program tells me that there are certain files that cannot be defragmented. When I go to delete these files, I am not able to find them on my hard drive. It tells me that the files are in C:\WINDOWSTemp but when I look in that folder no such files exist. When I check the properties of the folder, it tells me there are 4 GB in it but it only shows 4 MB worth of files. How can I delete these files when I can't find them
i have win xp. when i try to delete files they go to the recycle bin but a copy is made of the file everytime i delete. i get copy 2 , then copy 3 right on up to as many times as i delete it. i'm not getting anywhere
while I was working on my computer, my operating system crashed but well, I have backed my system up, and I knew I can restore it in 5 minutes. but the problem was that I had some important files on drive C: (my system drive) which I will have to delete then restore I know I can repair my system but I knew it won't be satisfying for me
I have been trying to delete an old Windows file on one of my hard disks, but i never could because of the "access denied" error message. No matter what i did, they couldn't be deleted. So finally, i stumpled across a site that explained that the files need to have the right "ownership" to delete. So, i follow the instructions and set me as the owner, but it will only do that to one folder. I then have to go one by one and set the properties for each sub-folder seperatley, and there's hundreds of them. Is there any way to delete all of the files without regard to what user owns them? Or how can i make ALL files AND subfolders be set at once
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.
I am using XP SP2 with all the latest updates.When I select more then 150 files in explorer and I right click to copy or delete,windows explorer simply shuts down and displays the message 'encountered a problem and needs to close'.If I select 125 files, then it's OK. If I need to delete 1200 files I need to do this in 10 attempts.
deleting stubborn system files I want to delete a folder of junk that has manifesed itself on one of myxternal drives. I appeared after a crash (I expect) and is contains *.dll and *.inf files. they may have been enerated resulting from a BestCryp crash I get a warning telling me I don't have permissions to delete. How can I bypass this and take charge of my own computer
I recently reinstalled XP on my primary hard drive. My computer had exhibited signs of a virus. I have had crashes while running games, freeze ups randomly, and poor performance in general. I have a Dell 4550 with a 2.56 Ghz Intel processor, a 30 Gig hard drive, an 80 gig hard drive, and 512 ram memory. I have Windows XP installed on the 30 gig H D. I use Zone Alarm for protection. I use Ad Aware also. I now get a notepad document named 5-notepad. It seems to be a bunch of random letters and symbols.
I am trying to delete a file that I downloaded. When I try to delete it, it says "Cannot delete dmd-awty: It is being used by another person or program." I closed everything and even restarted, but the file won't delete
There are two pornographic videos that are downloaded onto my computer in the folder that I use to download music on LimeWire. I've never downloaded a video from LimeWire that I can recall, only music. Anyway, these 2 files will not delete when I right-click and try to select delete. There is no delete on the right-click list, the files CANNOT be dragged into any other folder including the Recycle Bin
I have copied some files from my Mac to my PC. I get a file that starts with "._". I also get the file I copied. When I try to delete the file that starts with ._, I get a message saying cannot delete file, can't read source disk
I recently figured out that some kind of virus is attached to my harddrive that is not picked up by any detection program. The files end in .exe and when using task manager, I delete the file and it generates a new file name with the same extention repeatedly. The CPU usage stays at 100% making it impossible for me to navigate the internet and play on line games. I did a file search, deleted the known files and rechecked task manager. They were still there. If I sit and delete them each time I turn on my computer it takes me considerable amount of time and even then I may not get them all. I don't know what else to try to get my computer running better without a total reboot
Okay so it seems that whenever i try to handle a big file. Or something that seems to "stress" my hard drive. my Explorer goes crazy. First i get an error like this:I would of took a screenshot but when trying to paste the print screen it just says Error copying to clipboard. Asif it should read something there but it doesnt. Even the "OK" Button doesnt say anything but i just press it anyway.All text dissapears from my icons and all buttons and tabs and stuff. I also cannot start any program.. Starting task manager gives taskmgr.exe - Application Error : The application failed to initialize properly (0xc000012d). Click on OK to terminate the application.
I was recently looking at my hard disk and saw I was getting low on space (35% capacity left). I have an 80GB HDD. I ran the Disk Cleanup utility and it said there was 30GB(yes) of Windows Temp files that could be deleted. Can I trust this utility by deleting these files? Doesn't that seem like an extremely large amount of space to gain? If I do delete these temp files, will it harm my system? I kind of need that space now since I am ready to add some new stuff to this HDD.
