[Arkwing]

I am using a compaq style laptop currently runnings windows me. My problem is me and my aunt share this and both have accounts set up on aol. When I download any software and try to use it, kaza for instance. I can't the program doesn't respond to me. Same goes for streaming media which gives me a connection error sign, or certain sites that give me an error after giving one of the security pop-ups. When my aunt does any of these things it works fine for her and its a pain getting her to let me use her screename just so i can access software I have downloaded. Can someone give me a helping hand with this? If so toss me a message.

Welcome Arkwing

Kazaa is full of spyware, and there are many trojans and viruses that make it their home.

Let us take a closer look at what is running on your PC. We'll need you to use a free diagnostic tool (HiJackThis) and post a log back here with the results.

Click the HijackThis Guide in my signature, download it and follow the instructions in the guide.

Most of what it lists will be harmless or even essential, DO NOT delete or modify anything yet! Someone will be along to tell you what steps to take after you post the contents of the scan results.

Your computer has a number of spyware programs that we need to remove. For more info on spyware see the Spyware Tools link in my signature.

Let's start with a couple of free programs:
CWShredder is the first to run. Here's why: If a CoolWebSearch variant is indeed running on your system, it may actually prevent you from running spyware scans. It is smart enough to detect efforts to detect it, and stop them. Download CWShredder to your desktop or other location. Close all browser windows, double click the CWShredder icon to run, then click the Fix -> button. When finished, reboot and run Spybot Search & Destroy.

Spybot Search & Destroy Download and install. Start Spybot S&D using the "Spybot-S&D (easy mode)" link from your Start menu . Click the Search for updates button, if any are found then click the Download Updates button. After all updates are downloaded, click the Check for problems button. When the scan is complete, place a check next to anything marked in red, then click the Fix selected problems button. You may need to run Spybot S&D multiple times to remove all infections.

When finished, Reboot your computer. Finally, reply to this post with a new HiJackThis log so we can look for any nasties that may have been missed.

CLICK HERE to download CWShredder
CLICK HERE to download Spybot S&D

Glad to help!

We've got a little more cleaning up to do...
