Re: I'm contiinuosly downloading the same thing!

 

Can you give us more specific details please? Google is a search

engine--what do you mean when you say you are using it to download? Are you

downloading files or what? Are these pop ups that are hawking the software

to you? What software?

 

Right off hand, it sounds like you may have an infected system.

Type in Start Run

 

cmd /knetstat -o

 

This will show all connections and may help narrow down what is downloading

by seeing where you are connected and what program is connected. Look up the

PID in Taskmanager (or type in Start Run Cmd /ktasklist)

Your time is wrong. Your timezone appears to be Bangkok.

I'm contiinuosly downloading the same thing!

 

I've just been using google to download some material from the internet.

All of a sudden what is downloaded is the same thing no matter what the

request is. Can't fugure out what is going on.

 

I am continuing to download a sales pitch for a specific type of software.

I'd say that somebody has found a way to keep pounding their message home.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

Re: I'm contiinuosly downloading the same thing!

 

I started by using google to search for software under the "backup" title.

It now doesn't make any difference what I put into the google box. I

always get the same thing.

 

Checked another installarion of Window XP, It doesn't have the problem

Re: I'm contiinuosly downloading the same thing!

 

What anti-virus application or security suite is installed? What

anti-spyware applications (other than Defender)? What third-party firewall

(if any)?

 

1. Correct your computer's time, date, and time zone.

 

2. Physically disconnect the machine from the internet and close Windows.

 

3. Wait 5-10 minutes then reboot, then reconnect to the internet.
