i have been working on this all day. i have made zero progress. i am ready to break it into a billion peices and flush it down the toilet.

i think it needs proffesional help. or atleast some one who has a bit more experience than i do.

any suggestions? any body want to look at it for me?

Could it be portable? It's pretty slow at work. I could look at it there if that'd help?

I think he's about ready to defrag the hard drive with a shotgun.

Before you blow it to pieces, drop it off tomorrow night and I'll see what I can do with it.

I would have offered yesterday but I was out of town.

 

[Jeremy]

i appreciate the offers, i may still take you up on them in a couple days. we will see if it lasts, but i believe it is gone. joe suggested malwarebytes.com and it seems to have removed the problem. we will see if it got it all. the way i understand this beast, if its not all gone it keeps coming back.

then i installed avast on the system and cleaned it up, then manually went in and fixed the screen saver..

this was on an xp pro system fyi

Avast rocks!

Most of the time with these things if you disconnect it from the internet - remove the cable or wireless card, it makes it easier to remove the variant.

I've got a buddies laptop here with the same issue. I could not get it off (it wouldn't even let me into the registry or msconfig - even in safe mode w/o networking). I ended up installing a second operating system on it, making it dual boot on the new OS, then ran Adware twice and I think it removed it all. The third time I ran it, it didn't show up anymore. So now I'll move everything to a good, clean install w/AVG to catch anything moving to the second computer; blow his OS away, then move everything back. At least this way I can save all of his info....

I got this thing last week. AVG seems to have removed it but now my PC runs like a turtle. Things like opening the Internet take 60 seconds or so, were as it was almost instantaneous before.

Try AdAware, works great on cleaning things up. It's free also.

Adaware is good, I also like to use MS Defender, it does a decent job at being proactive.

Ran adaware but still slow. All try MS defender next.
