found this to help you....

If you are running Windows XP , you'll need your disk, other wise you'll have ot down load from Microsoft.

Caution use at your own risk I haven't tried this, but I'm behind a router as well so don't need it.

Something else you can look at isto shutoff some of the services that aren't used, I'd consult Microsoftt or one of the more well known AntiVrus / on line help sites. But becareful on what you turn off other wise you could end up with a computer that can't talk on the inet.

hi dave
i'm already talking with my firewall people,

i will see what i can do before i go to that extreme.

It may well be that they've tried to send you a trojan by email, and are now trying to gain access to it, which is promptly blocked by your firewall. Can't hurt to do a full virus scan with one or more virus scanners (I've always found Avira Antivir free version to be pretty reliable), just to make sure your computer hasn't caught a bug.

 

[misterchugg]

thanks mate
downloading it now.
will check pc as soon as its in

Linksys have a quite nice firewall built into their routers so something like a linksys wrt54g2 or a BEFSR41 would probably work well.

or Google them with Australia in the search.

The only completely safe way to clean this mess up is to reinstall the operating system, that advice comes from Microsoft's Security group whom I used to work with from time to time. Make a partition of say 50-60 gigs and install the operating system in there. That way next time your data files will be safe.

This is, of course, post-facto, but Linksys does indeed have some very nice firewall routers. Even if all you have is one computer, hiding it behind a good firmware filrewall works wonders. My router hides all eight of my computers, both wireless and wired) and in the 8 years I've owned it not ONE single IP probe has made it to my system. The router kills them dead. The router is set up so that "if I didn't ask for the packet, I don't see it". Anonymous probes are completely ignored. If one hits, it is NOT acknowledged in any way. That way, the sender simply assumes your IP address isn't in use.

Whether it is a wireless or wired router the investment is worth it.

Hi misterchugg,

Try Malwarebytes' Anti Malware, the basic version is free to use and does a good job of removing spyware and other junk Anti virus programs miss.
If a full scan dosn't remove your problem go to its menu;
More Tools
And select
FileASSASSIN
The above tool is designed to remove locked files on your system.
Hope this helps'

hi lindsay
i dl it and ran it
it didnt find anything

i saw that the recyle bin is called recycler, but i cant find it anywhere in c drive to delete its contents

thanks
for the link
cheers

Hi

RECYCLER is a hidden folder on your drive. You need to switch on "Show hidden files and folders" in the advanced settings in the View tab in Folder Options found under the Tools tab in "My Computer".

Once that is switched on you can see the contents of the RECYCLER folder.

Spruce.

 

[reider29]

Unless I have the gist of this wrong, copy the name of the file to a textfile on the desktop, just in case you need the original name. Do this by browsing the contents of the recycle bin. Then try renaming the one in the bin to something with a smaller name by dragging it first to the desktop. Rename it, drag it back to the bin and next empty the contents of the bin.
