I don't know how to open my registry keys. lol

japantherine July 3 2006, 20:16:44 UTC

thats ok i can still help.
try running your ccleaner and skan for issues. when thats done, open up your spyware doctor and do a full system scan. when its finished tell me what is left and ill help you with the registry key part to delete them

Do you have RoadRunner.
If the answer is yes uninstall all that
miscellaneous bullshit you listed and download
EZ the Anti-Viral and Firewall programs.
You probably wouldn't ever have had this problem
if you were running a firewall...
And before I go off in my accusatory tone..
Do you even have a firewall running?

In any event if you don't I can link you to the
downloadable copy and tag you my liscense key for it.

Wait, that wasn't your accusatory tone? Geez, i would hate to see you mad! lol

And no, I don't have a firewall running. Don't know how to do that either, so i may need a step by step.

coolmig01 July 3 2006, 22:03:42 UTC

Grrr, seems like u need to purchase that crap before u can even download. I think I'll keep my "miscellaneous bullshit" a little longer until someone comes up w/ something better, thank you.

Curious, but is your firewall on? You may be getting nuked with a trojan that implants viruses, so by the time you remove the virus new ones appear.

Or you could just try system restore if you have XP.

coolmig01 July 4 2006, 18:23:10 UTC

Yeah, i think ur right. there is this one called "Trojan downloader". LOL

I'm very computer illeterate so i don't know how to set up firewalls or how to do a full system restore. Help?

j82 July 4 2006, 19:56:44 UTC

System restore will not delete the trojan but simply isolate it.

vigelunt July 4 2006, 22:49:10 UTC

He has a point, trojans are internet based attacks.

So, ruling out system restore, we'll just move to the xp firewall.

Go to start> look for control panel> Network and Internet Connections> Windows Firewall> from there just make sure it is on. May want to check the exceptions tab just in case anything looks suspicious.
