yaMI pleHouY · 06-22-2006, 06:09 AM

A few days ago I was dumb and DLed a "video codec" which ended up being spyware, THAT WAS TELLING ME I HAD SPYWARE!!!111oneoneonezors

So I finally rid myself of it. Except no my win32 folder pops up at every restart. Anyone know how to rid me of the problem?

I'm pretty sure that if that keeps happening the file will be somewhere in the startup folder. When things are put into startup they automatically appear on screen everytime windows starts. Just do a windows search for startup.

OR do a start, run, msconfig, (the startup tab) look for anything that doesnt need to start everytime the pc starts. Theoretically, everything in there can be unchecked.

Yeah, I know how to msconfig

Well, I re-checked msconfig and I noticed a lil proccess which ended up being spyware. I removed this, but my WIn32 folder still shows up on boot.

annd guh, the stupid Nvcpl.exe keeps showing up on my list. I remove it, it comes back. I even deleted it from the registry where I could find it.

Yeah, it's a virus and I can't get it to leave. The more I try the more it ****s with my system. Thanks for all the damn help. Such a useful message board...
