nothing there.... i was told that i should delete anything with $ signs..... i found some files labeled uninstall under the windows folder with dollar signs so i deleted them.... what else could i try??

[Dragon]

who told you to delete anything with $ signs?


Those are back up files made by windows.

i'm still looking for answers

oh someone i know thats really good with computers told me to delete them because he said when theres a dollar sign attached to the beginning and end its a virus attached to the file... i just restored them though. does my hijackthis log look ok? i am not having any serious problems but i can just tell something is wrong because when i sign on to aim it takes a minute to do so.

your log is clean, as soon as we have a permanent fix, we will post it in the resulting threads.

[efunk33]

oh and i was just wondering if u had a guess on how long u think it will be before there is a permanent fix??? thx

[Dragon]

as for what the problem is, it could be a side effect of the virus. we are diligently looking for all the different aspectst that this virus affects.

hopefully we will have a complete fix available in the next couple of days

[efunk33]

[Dragon]

yes as soon as we get the fix figured completely out, I will post it in this thread
