Answer» My computer is a Presario, about 5 years old, supposedly 100 GB hard drive, I have 2 GB ram, Windows XP Home edition, service PACK 3 installed, What is Antivirus 2010? -PCWorld.Quote from: Geek-9pm on April 16, 2011, 06:56:52 PM Kinda figured that.Yes.. In the next scenario, a free offer to try Antivirus 2010 remover tool .. money back if ita dona worka. Ita dona work and you dona get your money.. and in the next senario.... Quote from: Geek-9pm on April 16, 2011, 08:33:27 PM Yes.. Thanks Geek, at least you took the time to provide some 'slap stick' in lieu of, or lack of, any useful advise. I was impressed enough to even check out your blog, in case there might be some useful advice there.....there was: "...We have been getting a lot of Span and this puts a burden on the webmaster. Me...". I hadn't realized that there was a lot of 'span' out there. There was another interesting piece, but I do need clarification: "..Although you may not ti k so, internet criminals can do HARM..". Is 'ti k' a blogger term for 'think'? Anyway, good stuff, and I'll be sure to add another 'thank you' to your list. I can certainly see why your level of professionalism is valued here. And if you could post an emoticon of some Keystone Cops in your next reply, it would be greatly appreciated. Quote an Avira alert came up while online, as usual, it defaulted to the ‘deny access’ option, which I did. This jumps out at me as the cause of lack of access... I don't run Avira so i would check the Help files and Tutorials to find where the access CONTROLS are. Have a Look...

Ol' Geek alleges that he can't type very well, or has dyslexia, or something like that, so when he posts on here he uses a microphone and a speech-to-text program (he says). Whatever, his posts frequently give rise to bafflement of varying degrees. He does not appear to apply any proof reading before hitting the "post" button. Possibly this is allied to a reading difficulty or maybe it would be too laborious to verbally correct the things his computer doesn't hear properly. At any rate, he does give good advice from time to time. He is a frequent poster on here, and he is pretty well regarded - he is a good natured soul and seldom posts anything cruel or cutting, so although I understand your reaction, maybe turning down the sarcasm dial a bit might be in order? Of course, you are perfectly free to disregard the previous suggestion, since I am hardly the best example to follow, but then I have been here a bit longer than you have. Quote from: patio on April 17, 2011, 06:05:26 AM This jumps out at me as the cause of lack of access... Whew! Thanks Patio, that kinda got my head spinning. I guess I'll put that on the back burner for now, although it may very well move to the front burner in a couple days.START DICTATION. Thank you very much Mr. Salmon Trout. Begin rant. To the OP. Sometimes I use the speech recognition when I want to say something that takes more than a few lines. Not to get to the point, here are some useful information about what to do when your Windows operating system has been terribly compromised. The short answer is: use a Linux live CD to fix Windows. Now the details. Of course, Linux does not fix Windows. However, a Linux live CD can easily read Windows partitions and copy files to another media such as a USB drive or even a DVD RW. Once you have a suitable backup of the essential data and settings that you need, do a full installation of your Windows operating system. Including the process of completely wiping out the drive you're going to use as the system drive. So there, now I have included some useful information. In many cases what I have described is the best, and possibly, the only choice. End of rant. Mistakes above are the from the near deaf computer. MICROPHONE OFF Boy....it's certainly getting touchy in here now.... Calm down. Since you've discovered you somehow got infected, my suggestion would be to finish running through the guide and post the appropriate logs in the Spyware and Viruses forum. I'd echo Patio's advice to check the appropriate "access controls" but chances are your access is being denied by the AV 2010 thing you somehow acquired. Naturally you can ignore Geek-9pm's visions of a universe where a Linux live CD can disinfect a Windows installation easily.

Along with the logs, should I repost my OP from this thread, over there? Quote from: kerk on April 18, 2011, 12:17:20 PM Will do, BC. Along with the logs, should I repost my OP from this thread, over there? I'd say so, it might provide them with some info on your current "state of affairs" (what works and what doesn't, etc). |
