I don’t know if this would help but if it’s only recently you’ve been having this problem, how about trying a system restore. Go back to a known date before your had these troubles.

Dont do it yet, check with Ian first. :)

For effective security under Windows you need ALL the following

1) Firewall - I normally install the basic Zone Alarm and its fine
2) Anti Virus - AVG Free edition although people do tend to have favourites so feel free to choose another.
3) Spyware/Malware - you can't get an all in one solution for this, You need a min of 2 programs, 3 is better, Try Ad-aware, Spybot and Microsofts free one

4) The most important one!!! A brain - Don't open anything that you aren't 150% sure of. Don't install stuff that promises to make you rich, bigger, sexier or anything else beyond the realms of credibility.


One point of note - I along with lots of my techie friends absolutely hate with a vengence Norton products. They are resource hungry - tightly locked into teh core OS bloatware going. I'm sure there are loads of people who love it, teh techies tend not to be in that camp.

NOTHING

Re: ITS HAPPENING AGAIN......*screams*
 
tried what???

If you want techie help you have to tell us 'exactly' what you've done and what is happening, you need to avoid woolly descripitions so we have a chance of working out whats happening on your screens. (Remember we can't see it!!!!)

Re: ITS HAPPENING AGAIN......*screams*
 
You have installed and scanned using Ad-aware?

Also install Spybot S&D

And teh microsoft one.

When you've done this, scanned teh pC and removed all teh rubbish let us know if you are still having problems

If you close off AccyWeb and then look at processes does it still show the browser you use as taking up some of your CPU percentage?

entwisi 10-01-2007 19:43

Re: ITS HAPPENING AGAIN......*screams*
 
yes, all are available for free.make sure they have the latest definition files before you do teh scans

ok iv told me man and he said he'll have a bash later cuz im useless at out like this:o

WillowTheWhisp 10-01-2007 19:50

Re: ITS HAPPENING AGAIN......*screams*
 
press Ctrl Alt and Delete buttons at the same time. Then click on the tab which says 'processes'. If you've closed off AccyWeb and think you have nothing else open there shouldn't be any reference to your browser. If there is, highlight it and click 'end now'

panther 10-01-2007 19:56

Re: ITS HAPPENING AGAIN......*screams*
 
the cpu was 0%

entwisi 10-01-2007 20:03

Re: ITS HAPPENING AGAIN......*screams*
 
CPU at 0% is unlikely as it will need to do someting just to run windows.

There should also be a checkbox that says show process for all users??? or something like that. Make sure you can see all processes owned by SYSTEM

Is teh script thingy the grey box asking if you want to continue running scripts on this page?

Is your Windows a Genuine Copy.
