Service Pack 2 comes with a virus detection thing. Looking up that post in the spy/ad section now. Thanks for the post undertaker, cuz we were just about to install over it.

Alright, umm, just a few things. It doesn't "reboot", it just logs off back to the login screen. Also, he doesn't remember the tool, sorry. So, this recovery console thing sounds like our best...

My friend has gotten what he believes is a virus on his computer. He said he was downloading a file off of sharaza (like Kazaa, but supposedly more secure....yeah right) and the XP SP2 virus...

The kids would finally get smart enough to find the batch file and delete it. It is easy to look through the startup folder and figure it out.

Eskimo: Just so you know, you don't need a CD at all, not even to install it. Being the Counter-Strike player that I am, all you have to do is download the Steam 1.6 client, and then you can download...

Fraggin: I believe so. Don't hold me to it though. When compiling SWR 1.0 code (I am a mudder, the SWR 1.0 is a Star Wars based code base), you have to create a log file before you compile the code....

Alright, on my home PC, running Windows XP Home, there were four accounts, all with admin privaledges. Recently, my mom was threatening to delete some music and stuff of mine cuz she thought it was...

Don't hold me to this, but I don't think that <root></root> has anything to do with the power of root on *nix machines or something. And you are on Windows....So why worry? You have a block of swiss...

I just now thought about it, but even the NAME sounds bogus. "John Smith"? Damn....Couldn't the scam artist at least picked a more non-descript name? Isn't John Smith been used for every damn lie and...

You would not believe the e-mail I just recieved. It is just so obvious....here, just read the subject. If anyone wants me to forward it to them so you can see, just PM me your e-mail or something....

Wow. I never heard of that e-ink stuff. Thanks for the reply and neat link ric-o. And also for the laws. It actually makes me feel better to know the government may actually pass those laws. That...

Yes, you see, we have NO laws in place right now. I think, right now, the most people conscious about this subject is the IT people, the "nerdz". We know about adware, and spyware, but most everyday...

So there I was.....standing in the shower thinking about all things technological. I started to recall a few things from the movie Minority Report. Remember that cereal box, that when he poured his...

Yeah. I did that yesterday. Thanks Lumpy.

Actually, I am fine. Just kidding around and trying to get a little laugh, or chuckle here and there. *shrug* Oh well.

Heh. Summer man. Do you really think we will actually get outside and do something social like or constructive? Jesus, what do you think we are, tanned young healthy people with lives? NO!...

Just so you know, some of the ports being scanned is, 2745, 6129, 139, 80, 445, 3127, 1025. Oh, by the way, his scanning has picked up again. He had stopped for a while, but it started again at...

You know, it is really hard to earn out trust through these forums alone. You could really have the problem, or you could be doing something illegal and malicious. I, myself, don't know how, I am...

Is using NMAP to find out about someone illegal? Ok, here is the background story.
For the past two days, somebody from the same address has been scanning me CONSTANTLY. My firewall has stopped it...

Thanks guys. Ok, so I woke up this morning and read all your posts made over the night and yesterday. I also did a search for those programs again. They didn't start up at boot, at least my firwall...

Damn. I didn't read that right. Ok, so the windows prefetch file is used so that it makes the program load faster. Now I understand that. But I don't udnerstand why I can't find the actual program on...

Yeah. I have already looked at that. Thanks anyways.

Yep, the other file as moved and has the same string of characters and .pf ending. And nope, they aren't in the System32 folder anymore. Any suggestions now? lol

Guys, I am sorry but you may not believe this and I hardly can't either. I can't find them in the System32 folder now. The mcompodd.exe file has moved to WINDOWS\Prefetch. The wierd thing, it has...

Sorry for not telling the specifics.

They run out of my System32 folder and start on boot. And thanks for the submitting to Symantec advice, I am going to do that right now.
