Hello dawg3,

if all is clean and looks good consider it solved.

All of your logs coming back look clean. :)

hopefully the cavs and jackets can win their championships. more money on the cavs doing it.

Yea, I really do think the Cavs can win it this year. I have been watching them most of the season and they look like they are going to be very tough to beat.

Lets go ahead and remove the tools used and update a few things.





Please download JavaRa to your desktop and unzip it to its own folder
  • Run JavaRa.exe, pick the language of your choice and click Select. Then click Remove Older Versions.
  • Accept any prompts.
  • Open JavaRa.exe again and select Search For Updates.
  • Select Update Using Sun Java's Website then click Search and click on the Open Webpage button. Download and install the latest Java Runtime Environment (JRE) version for your computer.








You are using a old version of Adobe Acrobat Reader, please update it here.









Please download OTCleanIt and save it to your Desktop.
  • Double-click OTCleanIt.exe
  • Click the CleanUp! button to begin removing tools used to clean your computer
  • If you are prompted to Reboot during the cleanup, please select Yes

Please remove any leftover tools used to clean your computer.










Reset and Re-enable your System Restore to remove infected files that have been backed up by Windows. The files in System Restore are protected to prevent any programs from changing those files. This is the only way to clean these files: (You will lose all previous restore points which are likely to be infected)
1. Turn off System Restore.
On the Desktop, right-click My Computer.
Click Properties.
Click the System Restore tab.
Check Turn off System Restore.
Click Apply, and then click OK.

2. Restart your computer.

3. Turn ON System Restore.
On the Desktop, right-click My Computer.
Click Properties.
Click the System Restore tab.
UN-Check Turn off System Restore.
Click Apply, and then click OK.
[/list]
System Restore will now be active again.

The following is a list of tools and utilities that I like to suggest to people. This list is full of great tools and utilities to help you understand how you got infected and how to keep from getting infected again.

1. Spywareguard: Is realtime protection from spyware.

2. Spywareblaster: Helps protect against any bad ActiveX from installing on your computer.

3. SuperAntiSpyware: Use this program to help remove any spyware that may have gotten on your computer.

4. FireFox: This is a great alternate browser over Internet Explorer. Firefox is much more secure then Internet Explorer and also has a bulilt in pop up blocker.

5. ATF Cleaner: This program cleans out your temporary files. This is a great tool that can help speed your computer up.

6. Trillian or Miranda-IM - These are Malware free Instant Messenger programs which allow you to connect to multiple IM services in one program! (AOL, Yahoo, ICQ, IRC, MSN)

7. Windows Updates - It is very important to make sure that both Internet Explorer and Windows are kept current with the latest critical security patches from Microsoft. To do this just start Internet Explorer and select Tools > Windows Update, and follow the online instructions from there.

i wish they would have won last night to tie the record but oh well. they lost by 1 and had 4 starters on the bench.

i will do all the above steps when i go back down to my moms.
i dont think i can update adobe though. i think there is a program she runs for her biz will cause problems with the newest version.

i thought i already updated java but i guess i didnt.

thanks again for all the help its great to know there are people out there willing to put their time in to help others.
i was going to go through the training on here to help others also but i just dont have the time unfortunatly. i would really like to do it.
again thank you

Hello dawg3,

Yea, me too. I was hoping Daniel Gibson would make that last shot. He did have a great game, hopefully he can keep shooting like that in the playoffs.

i dont think i can update adobe though. i think there is a program she runs for her biz will cause problems with the newest version.

Ok.

thanks again for all the help

You are welcome. :)
