Computer help needed

Mr.Smith · Jan 26, 2004

I downloaded something nasty. Don't know what or how, but my computer is full of new icons for assorted garbage, links to porn sites, spyware, adware, you name it.

I just spent bout an hour and a half erasing all the crap. I still have something called an i-lookup toolbar which will not go away. I don't know how to find it in my computer and try to kill it. Anyone familiar with this thing?

It keeps spamming me with pop-ups and changes my homepage every 30 seconds or so.

I am going bananas.

mr smith im going thru the exact same thing, hopefully someone can come in and help.

Mr. Smith: Do a search for a free product called " AD-AWARE". You will download that and it can take a bit to clean up yor hard drive and registers. It also helps to keep the shit that infected you away aswell. I run it twice a week, just to be sure something has not come via a hotmail message.

Mr.Smith · Jan 26, 2004

case in point look at the word por-n in my message, it links from i-lookup to a gangbang por-n site.

I DID NOT DO THAT ITS THE FING SPYWARE.

DO NOT CLICK ON THAT - WHO KNOWS IT MAY INFECT YOUR COMPUTER

Does anyone know how to launch a DOS attack? I want on on those i-lookup fukks

If you have XP, windows restore to the day before and this will make everything that was added disappear....

Mr.Smith · Jan 26, 2004

tigerclicks, how do I do that?

Tigerclicks

Nice to see another Tiger fan around here.

Mr. Smith and Thrill,
Yall shouldn't have downloaded stuff off of "free" porn sites.

tigerclicks · Jan 26, 2004

Programs--Accessories--system tools--system restore to whatever date you want...

tigerclicks · Jan 26, 2004

That has to work Mr.Smith....Jenny, I noticed that logo the other day....Still riding the high and just can't wait until next year......Check out my site before we change the colors...tigerclicks.com....

JennyDav · Jan 26, 2004

I am also still riding the high. I am very excited about next season also. Next season will be the first year I have my own season tickets. I asked my parents for a season ticket next to my brother and his wife for my birthday. I always used my brothers extra season ticket. I will check out your site right now.

Mr.Smith · Jan 26, 2004

not working for some reason- it won't let me restore for any days that are not highlighted, today is the only highlited day.

goto Spybot search and destroy this will get rid of the spyware SAFELY! AFTER you d/l spybot, load it, then click CHECK FOR PROBLEMS, it will search your computer for the spyware and bring into that box in about 2-3 Minutes, maybe more. After this, click FIX SELECTED PROBLEMS and your all set.. Please note, that in some instances you may have spyware running in the backround that spybot cannot remove right there and then, spybot will instruct you to restart your computer. Spybot will be the first thing that starts om your computer, preventing the spyware from starting, it will then search again, get the spyware and you click FIX again and erase it from your computer and your all set. It's really easy, only sounds complicated.

Mr.Smith · Jan 26, 2004

if I click on "system restore settings" Norton anti-virus pops up and says " a malicious virus has been detected" your computer must halt immidately.

so I cannot access " system restore settings" and it won't let me go back before today. unbelievable- but this shit I downloaded seems to be prepared for people doing what you told me to do and it won't allow it.

I need some sleep- I'll try calling Dell technical support tomarrow.

TTinCO · Jan 26, 2004

Good advice #1cheat.

You can also download & install Ad-aware from download.com. It may or may not find a few things that Spybot missed.

If you have a full blown virus, you can go to trend.com & run a free online scanner, but this smells more like your basic IE hijack bullshit.

Mr.Smith · Jan 26, 2004

i'm giving that atry now #1 cheater

I have a program called spy sweeper which knocked out a lot of stuff tonight but not this last bastrad thing

Mr.Smith · Jan 26, 2004

spybot isnt done searching yet, but it just pulled up 5 different i-lookup programs and quarantined them, this just might work

SOMEONE NEEDS TO GET THE FEDS ON THESE I-LOOKUP BASTARDS OR TAKE A BASEBALL BAT TO THEIR KNEECAPS

1cheater · Jan 26, 2004

Yup, nasty Hijacker, Hate those MF'N thing's!

Mr sMith, no need to call Dell, just do as we said. If you must call Dell, they will just take you turn back the clock on your registry manually.

TTinCO, if you like toys I have a site for numbers for free toys

shoot me an email at kw_1cheater@yahoo.com if u want the url

mvbski · Jan 26, 2004
