Default RE: Virus/Trojan problem - read

May I offer some helping advice. To begin I have had to reload my windows ME 3 times and lost my wonderful windows XP due to these annoying viruses.

But after going through such a tedious ordeal I learned an incredible amount of information on how to fix these things.

Looking at what you guys have shown , this type of virus is an automatic web search service . the only way it gets on your computer is from a screen that tells you to push yes to continue. Well DON'T push yes hit ESC key instead or F4 I believe to close the window.

The best way to fix or get rid of these files is to start your computer in SAFE MODE. If you don't know how ask. Then go to your registry (startup) and un-check all of the files you see with IE. SYSTEM32 in the file name. Also look for anything that has the word search, help, or spool in it and un-check it under the system config /start up tab.

Then restart your computer in normal mode and see if you have the same problems if yes go back and look for more stuff in the start up that shouldn't be there. Safe mode only loads the files needed to run the computer so your screen may look weird but your computer will run as usual.

I know this works because I use to have to close hundreds of MSN windows when surfing and now NONE of these windows open by themselves when I am surfing or idling while on-line using AOL.

Good Luck
