Guest AllenH Posted July 23, 2008 Posted July 23, 2008 I inadvertantly opened an email which has left me with an icon on the toolbar which constantly pops up telling me my computer is infected. Windows OneCare appears to have removed the infection (or tells me it has detected and removed it) but the icon is still there and I get constant pop-ups. The thing seems to be lodged as Braviax.exe in C;\windows\system32 and is 9kb. I've tried deleting it but it won't move. Has anyone any idea how I can get rid of the thing? It's in XP, by the way (not Vista). Allen -- Now enjoying Vista after 8 months of frustration!

I can't remove DVD43 (a DVD code converter) from "Add or remove programs". It keeps telling me that DVD43 is running, and that I must close it, but I can't find how to. I want to load DVD Fab 5 in its place, but I have to remove DVD43 first. Any clues? Allen
Guest Rey Santos Posted July 23, 2008 Posted July 23, 2008 RE: Removal of braviax.exe Try this: Open Task Manager, look for dvd43.exe and end the process. Then uninstall the program via the Add or Remove Programs in the control Panel. Or: Start > Run, type msconfig > OK. In the system configuration Utility window click on the Startup tab. Under Startup items look for DVD43 and click to uncheck its box on the left. Click Apply button > OK. Restart the computer. After reboot remove the the program via Add or Remove Program in the Control Panel -- Rey "AllenH" wrote: > > -- > Now enjoying Vista after 8 months of frustration! > > > "Rey Santos" wrote: > > > How to remove braviax.exe/cru629.dat/users32.dat malware > > http://www.myantispyware.com/2008/03/15/how-to-remove-braviaxexecru629-malware/ > > > > -- > > Rey > > > > > > "AllenH" wrote: > > > > > I inadvertantly opened an email which has left me with an icon on the toolbar > > > which constantly pops up telling me my computer is infected.

Guest AllenH Posted July 23, 2008 Posted July 23, 2008 RE: Removal of braviax.exe BINGO! Using MSconfig fixed it in a flash. I am extremely grateful. Now I'll see if I can get DVDfab5 to work, but I'll leave that until tomorrow. Many thanks again. Allen -- Now enjoying Vista after 8 months of frustration!
