I got a little problem... Went to download something and got a problem with my desktop.
http://img518.imageshack.us/my.php?image=helpme0tw.jpg
Is there a problem that I can use to remove this? I change change my wallpaper and other random programs are running. I did go to safe mode and deleted most of the other ones.
Thanks for any help.
i got this once too. get spybot and adaware. also get microsoft adware removal tool (it's in beta)
run all 3. remove everything that they catch
this is actually a spyware that forcibly installs this annoying adware program. it's not hard to remove
Thanks a lot, I will try that.
Edit: Everything worked out great. :) But now during window startup, i get two errors about VCMain.exe failed to load...Is this something important?
Also try CWShredder. As I believe VCMain.exe is a coolwebsearch variant.
vcmain.exe is part of the spyware
get something like ccleaner and registry mechanic and clean ur registry. this should fix the problem
also go to start > run > msconfig
go to startup, if u see vcmain.exe in there, uncheck it
Okay, thanks a lot. I only got this pop up left. It's called "computer registry software" and for some reason adaware and spybot can't delete it. Anyway I can get rid of it?
Thanks for all your help.
It's the messenger service. Google how to turn it off.
I think you are right. It is coming from MSN...but how come before I never had this problem? When I have it off, the pop up from weird places are gone.
Ummm...Any clues why?
Thanks.
Nevermind, still getting them. =\

Heh, That's weird. It is already disable. :o
Then its not the messenger service. It's some form of malware.
That HJT log is a mess, post it in the forum at castlecops, they're the experts at this, http://castlecops.com/forums.html .:)
What the hell is a WMF image? People need to learn not to click things that say CLICK FOR FREE SOFTWARE AND FUN!
Hit Ctrl+Alt+Del and end these processes, then delete the files.Quote:

You've probably still got lots of malware issues on there.Quote:
