I would really appreciate any help you can give me Once again, I tell you that I don't understand what you mean by "windows solution" so I certainly am not telling you anything about it one way or the other. I gave you links to help. Follow them or if they seem too difficult, take the machine to a professional computer repair shop. There is no shame in doing this; we all have our areas of expertise. For your convenience, here are the links I previously gave you, as well as links to help you make good newsgroup posts: AproposFix - http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,14679793 http://swandog46.geekstogo.com/aproposfix.exe http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/...moving_Malware http://www.dts-l.org/goodpost.htm http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html Malke -- Elephant Boy Computers www.elephantboycomputers.com "Don't Panic!"

MS-MVP Windows - Shell/User I will tell you what I mean by windows solution - they tell me while I am in safe mode to click the protection icon then click scan,launch scanner then follow instructions for removal of the virus .this is what I meant when iI wrote windows solution sorry if I wasn't clear. But no matter how I get rid of this virus do I disable Mcafee while I am doing this - do you know or should I just disable it anyway to be safe. |
