It's not fun...wish those who come up with those programs would find something productive to do.Conniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07889385786262311973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19437210.post-69693081279121704592009-01-07T22:35:00.000-06:002009-01-07T22:35:00.000-06:00A restore point would have been nice, and if I had...A restore point would have been nice, and if I had thought of it <I>before</I> I restarted the computer, it might have worked. However, there is no restore point available now.<BR/><BR/>I am going to scan the computer tonight and see if it finds anything. If not, I will try the Malwarebytes thing. Jeffrey has been having the same kind of problem with his computer for a week or so. I'll have to have him try that.bcmomtoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06890142175838239035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19437210.post-43728718345414383802009-01-07T22:19:00.000-06:002009-01-07T22:19:00.000-06:00I had a similar thing happened -- picked up a bug/...I had a similar thing happened -- picked up a bug/worm/trojan -- through a link from Facebook. I ran all the scans with my antivirus and Search and Destroy. I downloaded a program called Malwarebytes and it took care of it for me after the others didn't. You can download it at http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php if you want to. A restore point would've been good if I'd had one.dphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16205051256917210078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19437210.post-7089253118468106782009-01-07T21:39:00.000-06:002009-01-07T21:39:00.000-06:00Before you worry about trying to fix it any other ...Before you worry about trying to fix it any other way, use your system restore to go back to a point before this happened. I happened to have a similar issue on my computer, and the system restore took care of it. It's a great feature, if rarely needed and used, that Microsoft put into Windows XP (and I'm assuming Vista too). <BR/><BR/>Trust me, I know these things.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
