Hey,

ive got a computer here that displays the following message



i searched around the computer but cant find what prossess its running as or where it is starting up on the computer,

can anyone tell me A what the hell it is and B how to get rid of it

Thanks

A - It is known adware, though I can't give it a name.

B - Please can you post an Ad-Aware log file? Make sure you are using build 1.06, and the latest definition file (run WebUpdate before scanning). We'll take a look at it, and we'll get it sorted out.

Ignore this post

Sorry Nick. didnt mean to intrude in your thread.
I shall make my own thread on the same subject

Hope they figure out how to get rid of this nasty pest

mjp3105,

It is always adviserble to start a new topic of your own as posting in another users topic can lead to confustion.
(more so for the elderly around here )


I recommend that you first go to Microsoft and get all critical updates aIE: SP2
then repost a new HijackThis log file.

it is the latest version of adaware and i updated the definitions first
the computer is on a remote site and i will have to go back for the logs if i could get some clues before i go back it would be great

Service Pack 2 is not a critical update. I do not want Service Pack 2, so I continue to use Service Pack 1. Critical and security updates are released for Service Pack 1, so it is in no more danger of being vunerable than Service Pack 2 in that respect.
