Hi,

You can use the Pc-cillin 2006 Internet Security to fix them which is in April 06 DVD.

Also for the security updates, you can wait for the May Issue of Digit and they may bundle some of the latest updates in Autopatcher.

firstly dont double post .. and next post your "Hijack This" log file here for the experts to see and help you out. google for Hijack this and dowload it. post its log file here then.

yes, run hijackthis and post ur logfile here or at www.hijackthis.de for analysis.

meanwhile till then, i can only suggest that u donwload, install, update and run 'ewido antimalware' in SAFE MODE.

S

thnx guys
but i formatted the comp today
and got digit after that
downlading hijack this for future problems
and well wht is the best program as antispyware cum antivirus cum all facilities , gives less load on ram and is new
well abt double posting its due to my connection probs
sorry for that

i suggest avast antivirus + adaware antiapyware + ewido antimalware.
all freeware.
while on the net u can use zone alarm firewall.

K

MM.... zone alarm is good but to get all these u need the licensed version.. the free version doesnt not have the anti* included in it.
another insight... seems that zone alarm has the funny habit of sending the users browsing pattern to it parent company! zonealarm says it just communication for update, while the rest of the work does not!
maybe the israeli company that has acquired zonelab is getting nozzy!!!
Google for "zonealarm spying" and u get a hell lot of storiesss

U can use kerio personal firewall. To clean ur registry & temp folders U can use CCleaner from CCleaner.com. Its free and reliable. Cleaning the registry and temporary files is important step in improving security on ur system

for the biggies, i recommend Spybot S&D and Windows Defender. works for me...

get the latest version of Lavasoft AdAware & Norton 2006........even it is cable of removing certain kinds of spyware..........

with the lates updates, i guess they'll solve ur problems..........

USE NORTON INTERNET SECURITY OR ZONE ALARM these two are best in there own way. upagrade ur Ntivirus regularily use Spybot search and destroy,,, & Ad Aware in combination to get rid of malacious bots

My personal combo
Zonealarm + spybot1.4 + avast!

why r u using Zone Alarm and Avast together it wud unnessarily increase cpu load and zone alarm standalone can b used for purpose u r using avast and later is not even effective than former.i wud suggest u to remove avast and use zone alarm & spybot search and destroy optionally u can use lavasoft Ad-aware too for better stability

Well no program is fool proof. U will have 2 make use of 2 to 3 different programs to be stable on the net. I guess ull be on dial up, if so follow the steps i had in place

.1. Use a firewall probably from Zone Alarm or Kerio Firewall. Please only install only one firewall solution.
*
.2. Use an Anti-Spware software atleast 2 different companies like Spybot Search & Destroy, Ad-Aware SE Personal, Microsoft AntiSpyware.
*
.3. Use a good Antivirus solution. My personal choice is AVG Antivirus Software.

***
Please do take the time to update these as new defintions are released very often. If u cannot download them try to fing\d the updates together with Digit CDs.

As for having Norton I wuld say a big NNNNOOO. Hell its heavy on the system resources

again why r u suggesting using AVG if zone alarm has a far batter virus scanner than AVG.

Zonealarm Free ed.= CR@P. It doesnt remember ur preferences..keeps hassling everytime. BTW, if u have avast pro 4.7 running, the need for a Firewall is greatly reduced.

PS; Thats GREEN G icon is just the accessibility options of the control panel

imm using avast! and ze home thus avast dosnt have a firewall and ze dosnt have a antivirus.

This is an Adware. The Softwares to Get rid these are

1.Ad-aware SE
2.Tuneup Utilities
3.System Mechanic 5 or Later
4.Registry Mechanic

Try these sure you will find a Solution.

Hmmm...It could be one of the SpySheriff/SmitFraud variants. Download HijackThis and unzip it to dedicated folder. Then run it and click the button Do a System scan and save log file. It will give you a log file. Copy and paste the complete contents of that log.
