I noticed you mentioned trying to dowload limewire, do you have any other P2P programs installed like morpheus or kazaa, etc..? These can unload some very nasty spywares and viruses.

My first step would be checking your add remove programs folder and seeing if there are any strange programs installed and get rid of them. The others will help you get your registry back in order!

So you did manage to find the exefile entry? If not, you can use the search function (ctrl+f) to find it.

One way or another we should get hijackthis running. If you make a new text document where you saved the hijackthis. Then all you need to put in it is "HiJackThis" and save it. Rename the file to a .bat extension and double click it. bat files have their own shell open for exes.

TexasAngel

Hmmmm or is that term to be used loosely

I admitted defeat yesterday under great strain that had nothing to do with computer and ......uggggghhhhhh reformatted the whole dang thing..........I was so mad......I am not one to give in nor give up. While not as knowledgeable as many here are I somewhat know what should and should not be on my computer.........and well........pfffttt enough.........


To answer a question no I didnt (dont) have any P2P programs.........yes they are wonderful for sneaking in stuff you really dont want.

Now I suppose the next step is to determine which vendor offers the best protection for my baby so I do not have to do this again.

Gentlemen, I offer my thanks and appreciation for taking the time to help me try and figure this out.............I am grateful.
