any advice or if you have any programs that would work I would greatly appriceate it.

Thank you

Well we need to know what it is. a Virus, Spyware, or a Trojon cow.

go to http://www.filehippo.com/ ----> download Ad Adware Personal and clean out any stuff that might be malware. Also try SPY bot search and destroy.

Use adaware

thanks everyone--
The message that pop-ups says there is a regisitry error---please goto www.win32.com or something close to that---when i hit cancel it popup again-

I used adaware windows defender and it did not clear it--

I think it may be a trojan horse-

its 30-day shareware but it will work full strength for now. This prog clears up many problems, but use the previously mentioned tools as well.

Go to my computer. Right click on C: select "format" follow the steps from there.

nothing abnormal there bud, most windows platforms have this turned on by default. if you are not wanting to see this error just head on over to ubuntu and download their latest release. it will most likely fix this (supposed) issue.

Don't install Ubuntu if you own an HP dv5000 series laptop! Holy shit, I just spent 4 days researching and reconfiguring this damn thing, everything works now though. I just got my Broadcom wireless card to work a few hours ago... Whoot!

welcome to linux

:rave:

I just made my laptop a dual boot machine. Gotta love the ubuntu. Only took 2 days. Fast in linux terms. dl the live cd and check it out.

stop looking at kitty porn and that wont happen :P

Ewido cleans lots of adaware even the nasty stuff. If it won't let you download it they have an online scan.

I'm using PREVX, or PREVX1 it's free for the first thirty days, fully functional, cleaned the maddening virus bursters systray icon popups, the first program that did, although others found it. Don't believe that you need the right codec for that porn.
I liked the proggie so much I payed for a year license.

Ad Aware rocks. The key though, is to run it in safe mode.

XCleaner, spybot S&D, adaware has been less effective in the last couple months (though, it may have improved, so its worth a try), ewido (aka avg antispyware) is good, spysweeper is pretty good. but, none of them can remove a really tricky infection. but, if you run them in safe mode, you will have the best chance. If you do boot to safe mode, clear out your system restore points, run xcleaner or ccleaner, then run at least 2 antispyware programs and keep running them until they either find nothing, or have items that keep returning, then restart and test, if the comp is good turn system restore back on. If all else fails, download hijackthis (make sure it's version 1.99.1), extract the file, create a folder in C:\ called Clean and copy the hijackthis file there, then rename the hijackthis file to Clean (some infections can tell when this is run, and will further hide themselves), run the program, close ALL windows other then the program, click on Do a system scan and save a logfile, then save the log and send it to me through a pm and I can help from there.

edit: Ive also heard good things about kaspersky - http://www.kaspersky.com/virusscanner

Couldn't resist ;- )
