I would certainly consider it. You may also want to update your AV =
Software as well as run AdAware, www.lavasoftusa.com and SpyBot Search = and Destroy, www.safer-networking.org. --=20 Doug Knox, MS-MVP Windows Media Center\Windows Powered Smart Display Win 95/98/Me/XP Tweaks and Fixes http://www.dougknox.com -------------------------------- Per user Group Policy Restrictions for XP Home and XP Pro http://www.dougknox.com/xp/utils/xp_securityconsole.htm -------------------------------- Please reply only to the newsgroup so all may benefit.

It makes it difficult to give both posters good advice. In this case, you should follow the advice I'm going to give Mr. Silva: Mr. Silva - Not only should you delete the winsecure, which is malware, you should run through these malware removal steps to make sure your computer is completely clean. It is crucial to do all steps with updated tools in Safe Mode. 1) Scan in Safe Mode with current version (not earlier than 2003) antivirus using updated definitions. 2) Remove spyware with Spybot Search & Destroy and Ad-aware. These programs are free, so use them both since they complement each other. There is a new version of CWShredder from Intermute. I would not install the other Intermute programs, however. Alternately, there are CoolWebSearch malware removal steps at SilentRunners. Be sure to update these programs before running, and it is a good idea to do virus/spyware scans in Safe Mode. Make sure you are able to see all hidden files and extensions (View tab in Folder Options). HijackThis is an excellent tool to discover and disable hijackers, but it requires expert skill. See below for HijackThis links. A combination of HijackThis and about:Buster works well in removing the about:Blank homepage hijacker. Again, this is an expert tool and novices should get help with it. 3) If you are running Windows ME or XP, you should disable/enable System Restore because malware will be in the Restore Points. With ME, you must disable System Restore completely. With XP, you can delete all but the most recent (presumably clean) System Restore point from the More Options section of Disk Cleanup (Runcleanmgr). 4) Make sure you've visited Windows Update and applied all security patches. Do not install driver updates from Windows Update. 5) Run a firewall.

Logon - logoff loop
hi, Just an idea, most peoplebelieve this to be a solely malware issue usually blazefind, this isn't necessarily the case as below states. It may be a issue with your AV your running as at home i had teh same issue with Trendmicro while i know no permenent fixes a temp work around is as follows logon to safe mode with admin privleges then find the directory your current pccillin is working from change the folder name ie"thisfolder" to "@thisfolder" Restart your computer and you should be able to login to xp like usual. you can then change your folder back to whatever you like and should be able to log off and sign back in to have pccillin working again, the thing is though from what i can tell if another user attempts to log in after you have chjanged thefodler back the autologoff will run again of if the day passes it will run again so it is a tedious program if you want to keep your av up and running I have not attempted a reinstall of the AV or installing a completely new AV but i can only assume these may fix the issue.. -- zidane1313 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ zidane1313's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/members/zidane1313.htm View this thread: http://forums.techarena.in/windows-security/25328.htm http://forums.techarena.in |
