HELP... Annoying bugs...

Postby Omag 2.0 » Sat Oct 09, 2004 6:25 am

Omag has been stupid...

Turned down my firewall for FS9 and forgot to pull it back up after the session. I usually never use IE ( only netscape) but this time i wanted to go to www.fs2000.org, that only works fine in IE...

Result... a bug nested itself in my system - portraying this annoying message on my desktop - not able to be removed...

Anyone have suggestions on how to remove?

Panda Titanium, add-aware and spybot are unable to resolve the problem.

The viruschecker did recognize a bug, but after deinfecting things remained the same...

Not in the startup-folder either... There's one DLL file, but i don't wanna tamper with it...


So once again... Help

Omag I am glad you mentioned a *.dll file.

I bet this little sucker calls this advert up everytime you go onto the net.  Best bet is use Adware6 and Spybot to celan the real bad stuff.  Unfortunately it wont get rid of the *.dll

Download a program called Hijackthis. Make sure Adware is update etc.  Shut PC down and disconnect from net.

Run Adware and delete malicious stuff if there is any.

Run Hijack this (hit scan)

It will list anything it thinks is malicious, though a lot will not be.  Now somewhere in that list I bet you will fin it mentions the *.dll you found.

Tick this box and select to fix the problem.  Now reboot the Pc.

Go and delete said *.dll (You will be able to now as it will not load on startup due to what you did with Hijackthis)

Hopefully this has solved your problem  ;D

Make sure you firewall is up and running and reconnet to the net.

Let me know how you get on  ;D

This is what the US government is been trying to crack down on. Spyware advetising programs to get rid of spyware.
