HP uses BackWeb Lite to check for updates automatically.
The question being, do you want them to? The choice is always yours.

Can you walk me through deleting these two items?

You can remove this folder:
C:\Documents and Settings\HP_Owner\Favorites\Health

and

You can remove this file:
C:\WINDOWS\NDNuninstall6_98.exe

These were from the Panda Active Scan.

Open Windows Explorer or double click 'My computer' and go to local drive c:

Move to
Documents and Settings
then to HP_Owner
and to Favorites\
there you can delete the folder Health by rightclicking it and choosing 'delete'.

Then go back to local drive c:
double click the folder WINDOWS
scroll down to find the file NDNuninstall6_98.exe
and delete that one too.

Does this help?

[sodadude]

When I tried to delete the following file I got a warning saying if I delete the file it may effect one of my programs. Should I still delete it?

Then go back to local drive c:
double click the folder WINDOWS
scroll down to find the file NDNuninstall6_98.exe
and delete that one too.

Let's see if you really need it (I doubt it):

• Open HijackThis
• Click on the configure button on the bottom right
• Click on the tab "Misc Tools"
• Click on the Box that says "Uninstall Manager"
• Click on the button "Save list"
• Copy and past the List from notepad into your post

Guess I was lazy (it was on the other page, you were right).

Well, nothing in there that would need this file. You can savely remove it.

[sodadude]

Well I think everything is cool now. I deleted the things you suggested and everything seems to be fine.

You did a really good job and were very helpful to me. Also you responded quickly and in a timely manner which I really appreciate.

I dont know if you do this or knows who does, but sometime I would like to try to send you a copy of my CCleaner Issues scan. There is a lot of things like file extensions missing and shared DLL's or something to that effect.

It is recommended that I backup files before they fix the issues.

Anyways thanks again for all you have done. Geeks to Go is the BEST!

[g2i2r4]

I send you a PM for the CCleaner log.

Thank you for the compliments, I've shared them with the team. It's all about teamwork at Geeks to Go!

Shall I post you some tips for the future and close the topic?

[sodadude]

Sure. That would be great. Mike

Please follow these simple steps in order to keep your computer clean and secure:

• Disable and Enable System Restore. - If you are using Windows ME or XP then you should disable and re-enable system restore to make sure there are no infected files found in a restore point.
  
  You can find instructions on how to enable and re-enable system restore here:
  
  Managing Windows Millenium System Restore
  
  or
  
  Windows XP System Restore Guide
  
  Re-enable system restore with the instructions from the tutorial above
  
  
• Make your Internet Explorer more secure - This can be done by following these simple instructions:
  • From within Internet Explorer click on the Tools menu and then click on Options.
  • Click once on the Security tab
  • Click once on the Internet icon so it becomes highlighted.
  • Click once on the Custom Level button.
    
    • Change the Download signed ActiveX controls to Prompt
    • Change the Download unsigned ActiveX controls to Disable
    • Change the Initialize and script ActiveX controls not marked as safe to Disable
    • Change the Installation of desktop items to Prompt
    • Change the Launching programs and files in an IFRAME to Prompt
    • Change the Navigate sub-frames across different domains to Prompt
    • When all these settings have been made, click on the OK button.
    • If it prompts you as to whether or not you want to save the settings, press the Yes button.
  • Next press the Apply button and then the OK to exit the Internet Properties page.
• Use an AntiVirus Software - It is very important that your computer has an anti-virus software running. This alone can save you a lot of trouble with malware in the future.
  
  See this link for a listing of some online & their stand-alone antivirus programs:
  
  Virus, Spyware, and Malware Protection and Removal Resources
  
  
• Update your AntiVirus Software - It is imperitive that you update your Antivirus software at least once a week (Even more if you wish). If you do not update your antivirus software then it will not be able to catch any of the new variants that may come out.
  
  
• Use a Firewall - I can not stress how important it is that you use a Firewall on your computer. Without a firewall your computer is succeptible to being hacked and taken over. I am very serious about this and see it happen almost every day with my clients. Simply using a Firewall in its default configuration can lower your risk greatly.
  
  For a tutorial on Firewalls and a listing of some available ones see the link below:
  
  Understanding and Using Firewalls
  
  
• Visit Microsoft's Windows Update Site Frequently - It is important that you visit http://www.windowsupdate.com regularly. This will ensure your computer always has the latest security updates available installed on your computer. If there are new updates to install, install them immediately, reboot your computer, and revisit the site until there are no more critical updates.
  
  
• Install Spybot - Search and Destroy - Install and download Spybot - Search and Destroy with its TeaTimer option. This will provide realtime spyware & Hijacker protection on your computer alongside your virus protection. You should also scan your computer with this program on a regular basis just as you would an antivirus software.
  
  A tutorial on installing & using this product can be found here:
  
  Using Spybot - Search & Destroy to remove Spyware , Malware, and Hijackers
  
  
• Install Ad-Aware – Download and install Ad-Aware. You should also scan your computer with this program on a regular basis just as you would an antivirus software in conjunction with Spybot.
  
  A tutorial on installing & using this product can be found here:
  
  Using Ad-aware to remove Spyware, Malware, & Hijackers from your Computer
  
  
• Install SpywareBlaster - SpywareBlaster will add a large list of programs and sites into your Internet Explorer settings that will protect you from running and downloading known malicious programs.
  
  A tutorial on installing & using this product can be found here:
  
  Using SpywareBlaster to protect your computer from Spyware and Malware
  
  
• Update all these programs regularly - Make sure you update all the programs I have listed regularly. Without regular updates you WILL NOT be protected when new malicious programs are released.

Follow this list and your potential for being infected again will reduce dramatically.

Glad I was able to help.
