Hi guys


I get the same warning as this thread gives, only, as war as I know, I've tried all the stuff there and it doesn't seem to go.

also my PC tries to connect to the Internet once I've started it up, I certainly didn't set it up that way. (it doesn't really connect but it does try to open my connection)

Geeks to Go

I get this warning: OOFF:2348AD

my hijackthis log is:

hmmm just been looking around again and the yellow exclamation mark is still there ...

[Metallica]

We still have one of them running.

(C:\WINNT\system32\msole32.exe)

and that was my mistake.

Repeat the action with Killbox, but this time use this to copy to and from clipboard.:

C:\wp.exe
C:\wp.bmp
C:\bws.exe
C:\WINNT\sites.ini
C:\WINNT\popuper.exe
C:\WINNT\System32\helper.exe
C:\WINNT\System32\intmonp.exe
C:\WINNT\System32\msmsgs.exe
C:\WINNT\System32\ole32vbs.exe
C:\WINNT\system32\msole32.exe

Sorry about that. I used my fix for XP and you're running Windows 2000

[daveBB]
