I believe I am using Windows Extended Desktop, as the monitors are continuous(I can move things from one to the other). The only thing I can think to do is uninstall all antispyware programs - AVG, Microsoft Antispyware, Spybot and Ad-Aware, and see if this makes any difference... would one of...

This post may be familiar, a couple of years ago many people on this site went to great lengths to help me solve it, but getting back to trading again it still persists... 1.6 P4 with 500 MB of memory, two 18" lcd's driven by Matrox G450 Millennium, CPU usage frequently maxes and occasionally...

Bsulli: I just ran RootkitRevealer a second time, and this time it did come up with three items. Two data mismatches, each of 4 bytes, and a file of 1.01 MB described as "Hidden from Windows API." Is it possible this last file might be causing the problem, and if so, what next? Thanks...

I ran RootkitRevealer and it found no discrepencies, so I guess everything is OK. Thanks. Alan

I did a clean re-install of XP two days ago, and am getting this warning from a-squared when I open Internet Explorer: a-squared guard alert! File name: C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe Diagnosis: Found a possible LAN bypass backdoor or spyware What does this mean...

This is just what I've been thinking this morning, that I'd like to reinstall XP and start with a clean slate. But for some reason I am unable to back-up files from My Documents to a CD. It says the D drive is not accessible.

Did this, it did remove Look2Me, but still allowed ExactSearch and nCase to remain.

Thanks.

I did disable system restore, but have not been working in safe mode.

I've been trying for the last several days to remove nCase, Look2Me, etc., manually, looking for specific files, keys, values, etc. I finally found a specific key in the registry I was looking for, but am reluctant to delete due to differences in cases in the letters. All the letters in the...

Nope.

Panda ActiveScan tells me that nCase, ExactSearch, Look2Me and BargainBuddy adware have attached themselves to my P4 cpu. After running AVG, a-squared, spybot and ad-aware, and "removing" said adware, they are still present. Also, of course, looked in add/remove programs, and they are nowhere...

To get an answer to your question I frequently run both programs, one right after the other, sometimes running AdAware first, sometimes running Spybot first, to see if one will find things the other did not. I have seen AdAware catch some things after running Spybot that Spybot missed, but I...

I think you may be confusing me with some of the previous posters. I never suggested reformatting as a solution to a virus or similar problem. I have reformatted a hard drive, and I would have to have one very large reason for doing that again. But with regard to the second part of your...

I started this thread, and it seems whenever I do something ill-advised I end up going deeper into the machine, and I guess that is the way most learning takes place about cpu's... it's definitely is true for me. I came across the three processes named WERULE, which certainly sounded like...

I can't get SpyBot to keep the changes to my settings... what's the trick?

Wow. I never would have thought that would be the case. How about AVG's free anti-viral? I just downloaded that this morning.

I have run several virus scans, and I run both Ad-Aware and Spybot several times each day, but what I'm trying to find are two files which continue to show up as WERULE when PitStop.com scans my system for running processes. They are obviously described differently in the HijackThis log, but...

This seems like an excellent approach... does anyone know how to do this type of search? Alan

I'm still trying to find the virus I inadvertently(dimly) invited on my cpu yesterday(yesterday's Program added without my knowledge post?). I discovered the "HijackThis" program, which reveals all processes and gives you the choice to delete any that have been planted there against your will...
