Featured Replies

Okay, im staying at my grandfathers house tonight, but ill only be here for a day. I leave tommorow.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This compute is in HORRIBLE condition.

 

 

 

Running on Windows ME.

 

 

 

Updating to SP2 soon.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Problem #1:

 

 

 

I found 711 critical bugs with adaware, but adaware freezes while quarentining. Is there a Windows ME version, or a bug fix?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Problem #2:

 

 

 

These spyware keep coming up on spybot S&D.

 

 

 

What do i need to do to get rid of them?

Question #1:

 

 

 

What other programs do I need to make this computer safe?

 

 

 

I have:

 

 

 

Adaware SE Personal

 

 

 

Spybot S&D

 

 

 

SpywareBlaster

 

 

 

AVG Anti-Virus: FREE

 

 

 

ZoneAlarm Firewall

 

 

 

Hijackthis 1.99.1

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Im currently updating his windows, so that might help half the problems.

 

 

 

He has 27 critical updates xD.

Make sure to do the scanning in safemode.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Microsoft anti-spyware Beta is also good to have. Most of the time it doesn't find much but has real time protection.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Good luck on that computer! It's more messed up than mine :lol: (mine aren't spyware tho)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

711 objects never heard of that many in one scan.

Problem #3:

 

 

 

Okay I reinstalled adaware and it works, got rid of all except about 90...

 

 

 

error8se.th.gif

 

 

 

Theres more than that, but thats all i can see.

 

 

 

Now, im getting a few viruses/trojans from that same directory.

 

 

 

Should I go into that folder and delete the bad ones?

 

 

 

Im guessing that the whole folder is adaware/viruses/etc.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I also got rid of problem #2 by deleting them manually.

I'll just repeat what blade said. Scan again in safe mode. That may fix the problem.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

On a side note, some of the old comps in my school library got over 3000 items by the end of the year. (They were never touched by network admins and of course the cookies were never cleared).

yes do scanning in safe mode adwear freezing is quite often a sign that it has tried to remove a more malicious spywear such as CWS althought there are many others. Secondly running that many programs is pointless in my experience Adaware SE Personal, Hijackthis 1.99.1, and grisoft avg have always been more than enough to deal with any problem.

...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Please. Shut up if you don't know what you're on about. grpconv is used for backwards compatibility on Windows 95/98 and ME. The KB executable is a patch for a vulnerability concerning icons and mouse cursors. The other files are windows help dlls and an activeX control. If you know what's good for you, leave them alone. (and next time, google stuff before throwing dice on what looks suspicious)

Maybe you should install Firefox on that computer to make sure he really doesn't take any ad-aware in there, or atleast less.

 

 

 

What I did at my grandmother's house is install FF, change the name to "Inter net Explorer" and change the icon to the IE-icon. She never noticed. :D

Yeah scan in safe mode like they said. That should hopefully get the rest of them cleared out :)

I would strongly reccomend a program called CounterSpy. I read it in this month's edition of PC World, and it's their top spyware rated program. It really cleans the system out, getting rid of all possible threats, including cleaning the registry!

Okay Ive gotten everything out, except the 90 or so files adaware has found.

 

 

 

Ill try CounterSpy, hope it works.
