GGGGGRRRRRRRRRRRR! Virus and computer take over!

Maybe, but I've always used IE and never had any problem.

Well, you do now.

Hey, I think you got the wrong guy. Mike's having problems, but I, cosine, wrote that.

Yep, same type of pop ups.   Friggin drive you crazy for sure.  

Chris, here's what I got under hkey_local_Machine\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\run
   Optional components/IMAIL
                                   MAPI
                                   MSFS

There is no explorer folder under hkey_local_Machine\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\policies
   There is NonEnum
                Ratings
                   PICSRules
                       .Default
                   System

Under hkey_current_user\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\policies\explorer
I find NoDriveTypeAutoRun

You don't have any entries in the right hand screen when you burrow down to those levels?  In the ...currentversion\run path, I have several entries for modules that get loaded during boot.  I have nothing under the Policies branch though.  The latter is where Irwin's trojan was hiding.

That's your drive autoplay settings.  Using a variety of hex codes, you can control how your system autoplays disks of various types.

Ok, I do have some.  I'm actually on my laptop now.  I have 6 users on my home pc so I have to check each one to see who has what running.  Where did you find his virus running at again?  I'll compare and see if I can find it.

[Lennyjoe]

I found some suspect registries on my youngest daughters path.  Removed them and am still looking.

There is something that shows up as "Microsoft Works Update Detection" under the Run folder.

[Lennyjoe]

Ok, I found the culprit.  Its not a virus but Malware.  ngpw36 is the ware and I'm trying to find a way to get rid of it now.  Everything I find online wants me to buy the program like Spy Doctor or something like that.

Lenny,

Sounds like you got harshed by the same bastards who got me.

May 1 million stone crabs feast on their testicles for all eternity.

[Lennyjoe]

Roger that on the stone crabs

Anybody know where I can get an English version of Firefox 1.07? All of the mirror sites have updated to 1.5.

The few bugs I did have were with extensions I was running that there weren't updates for. It seems the Mozilla crew made some wholesale changes between 1.0 and 1.5. I haven't experienced the crashes, but 1.5 is a huge resource hog. 1.07 ran much faster.

Pm me your email address over on the highroad and I can email it to you. Cheers,

Found the install still on my home PC. Thanks anyway.
