I have a brand new Dell computer with 640 mb of memory. It has been working great until I tried to download a mpeg clip from the internet. Now everytime I logon to my pc it automatically dials in to AOL. Not only that but it adds a XXX icon on my desktop and a WebView Finder folder to my C drive/ file folder with the culprit file inside. The file is write protected and cannot be deleted. It is causing slowdown on my PC and is very annoying, often causing me to be kicked off of AOL and me hearing a dialing service in the background to some operator who keeps asking "Hello, Hello" right before a dial tone that takes a few minutes to end. I belive this is some kind of ad bug but I want it removed forever and for my system to run better again. Can anyone help? |

Hi!! It appears to be an spyware, try with the following program: -Adaware: http://www.lavasoft.de/software/adaware/ or http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=506 Just run Adaware and let it do its work removing any trace of spyware in your computer. If this does not solve your problem (this could be happen), let me know via the clarification feature and I will continue the research. One more thing, if your problem is not fixed with Adaware download HijackThis. Add a HijackThis log to the request of an answer clarification. To run it close all aplications except HijackThis, here is a good tutorial: "How to use HijackThis": Take special account on the creation of a folder where you would like the HijackThis file to reside. It is important that you download this file to its own folder as this folder will be used when HijackThis makes backups. Also read carefully the following sections: -How to use HijackThis and -How to Generate a Startup Listing http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/index.php?showtutorial=42 Download it from: http://209.133.47.200/~merijn/files/HijackThis.exe or http://majorgeeks.com/download3155.html Please, if you need more help add a HijackThis log and a Startup list to the request of an answer clarification. I hope that this helps you. Regards. livioflores-ga |
