I work in a Manufacturing Company as a Network Admin.
1 of the idiot in the company used the Operation PC to serve porn site.
Now the PC is infected with Porn Icon on the Desktop. I try deleting it , but after i restart the PC
icon appears again.
Due to the Fact that there are some visitor coming 2mrw morning. I have get it fixed asap.
Pls tell me how help on how to remove those unnecessary icon from the desktop!
Detail:
OS: Win2000 Pro, IE6
Thankyou!
Get & run SPybot Search & Destroy and AdAware (both from from cnet.com). Update them then run them (one at a time though!!). If that doesn't take care of the problem download HijackThis (get free from http://majorgeeks.com/download3155.html ) and post a log here. DONT FIX ANYTHING unless you're 100% sure what it does - most of what the log shows are neccessary programs and/or integral parts of Windows.
:)
Try running Lavasoft's Ad-Aware. That should remove all programs that keep restoring the stuff you described. After that, delete what's left manually, and see if it comes back again.

Sounds to me like you better change some configuration settings in IE6. You got the icon because You have porn dialers installed on that computer. You can checkout http://www.pestpatrol.com/PestInfo/d/dialer.asp or do a google search such as http://www.google.com/microsoft?q=re...0&hq=microsoft
to remove those annoying dialers.
also, get TheCleaner. Some trojans will drop porn onto your computer too. With all these 3 programs we told you about, make sure you update them first.
Just something to help you along with your postings...
You really should try to avoid the shortcut typing, or leet speak. It takes away from your post, and makes you sound like a kiddie. (example -- 2mrw)
that is just my opinion, take the advice or leave it.
You should think about asking to implement some sort of computer usage policies to deal with your users surfing sites like that.
Fire the Idiot = Problem Fix!! ;)
Unfortunately you can only fire the idiot if there's something in your policy that forbids pr0n surfing. No policy equals not being able to fire the idiot.Quote:
If it is a porn dialer then there really is no need to search the web for anything. Just spybot search and destroy, that program alone will probably get rid of it.
I have to disagree weather it's in your policy or not, if you're the owner you have the right to fire anyone you feel uncomfortable with now if you're not then you really can't without permission from the boss.
This may be true in your country but it's definitely not in mine.Quote:

Where I live, you used to be able to fire somebody
"for good cause, for bad cause or no cause at all".
Now, you gotta jump through hoops if the employee
filed a Worker's Comp complaint or is a woman
or is a part of a minority group or is gay or is over 40
or blah, blah, blah..............
Why can't you? If you own the buisness you bought it with your own money so if you feel uncomfortable with this employee why can't you fire him? I see no reason not to. And besides you can also add that to your policy. I've never signed up for a job I've always been on the owners side of it all (never had a policy either :p) but I would suppose they have that in their policy.
ok i also post on lpu and we had someone break into the site and start sending spam e-mail and spreading viruses. someone told me if you opened the attachement to the e-mail (supposedly from the lpu staff) it would infect your computer with a self replicating worm, discuised as a cookie from a porn site !!! :confused: :confused: fortunately i don't check my e-mail and i never open attachments. but i finally did go into my e-mail site (in lpu w/wusername and password) and there were 250 pieces of spam e-mail (probably infected too)
