Docy, I am suspecting you got another virus apart from Antivirus XP crap. If you have done all things that you have mentioned it should have taken care of itself.

Re: mot*rf*ng virus
I downloaded the actual Antivirus XP software & quarantined the rogue files.
Next, I went thru with cleaning the registry per the instructions I found on the web.
I also downloaded ad-aware & ran thru it to be sure it was safe.
From what I hear from you, I had an easier version of the spyware...but they keep working on these viruses all the time. I was also mad coz I didnt have a checkpoint for my system restore. It took me a good 2-3 hours to fix it, that's all it takes - lots of patience.

Re: mot*rf*ng virus
I heard about this service on the Big 550 the other day, where they install one of those remote access programs on your computer, and then they can fix your issues straight from their offices, without a tech coming over or having to send your computer in. I'm not sure how much it costs, but it's gotta be cheaper than buying all new software.
Heck, I'd do this for free as long as you let me steal all your porn.
Edit PS: That cat is awesome.

Re: mot*rf*ng virus
Go to your registry and do a search for "e995". If you see any suspicious folders, delete it.docellis wrote:I don't think so.DiLLaGii wrote:Docy, I am suspecting you got another virus apart from Antivirus XP crap.
