Guest Mick Murphy Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 RE: weird virus that i cant seem to remove "I have rum about 4 different ADware/" Is that Bundy Rum? Try these 2 programs below to remove it. If they find it, but can't remove it; redo scans in Safe Mode. http://www.spybot.info/en/index.html Spybot Search & Destroy 1.6 is a very good, FREE Anti-Spyware Program. Download, install, update, and immunize your System with it. Then SCAN with it. Update it, and scan your System once a fortnight. http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php Malwarebytes is as the name says, a Malware Remover! For the Free version scroll down their page to either download from Download.com, or Major Geeks.com Download, install, and update. Important re: Safe Mode If you happen to find a problem that you can’t uninstall / delete, reboot the computer, and go into Safe Mode. To get into Safe mode, tap F8 right at Power On / Startup, and use UP arrow key to get to Safe Mode from list of options, then hit ENTER. RESCAN your computer with your Anti-Virus, Malwarebytes and Spybot S & D while in Safe Mode. -- Mad Mike "mike.mclenna@gmail.com" wrote: > there is no pop up window but i get audio of the Power Puff Girls. > ("The city of townsville...") i have to open task manager and and > manually close down the iexplorer.exe to shut it down.

Guest V Green Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 Re: weird virus that i cant seem to remove Do your kids use your computer as well? Various Instant Messenger progs use an audio clip to announce incoming msgs. or whether one of their friends is online. <mike.mclenna@gmail.com> wrote in message news:fde52efd-e709-48d7-8edf-c86f72116597@r15g2000prh.googlegroups.com... > there is no pop up window but i get audio of the Power Puff Girls. > ("The city of townsville...") i have to open task manager and and > manually close down the iexplorer.exe to shut it down.
