<0> thats not enough
<1> Swauve, u need spybot & hijackthis
<1> as well
<0> run spybot and MS antispyware too
<1> in the future
<1> yes ms antispy as well
<2> Ok anyways
<2> Guys i'm working on the problem:)
<2> Don't want to be rude but this is way off topic.
<2> You guys know what could be corrupted to prevent clicking start menu?
<1> compdoc do u know if Acronis is a good disc image restore program ?
<0> prolly is - I use ghost
<2> Nortan Ghost?
<1> oh well i shy away from norton
<0> for images
<2> I happen to have norton ghost on cd though.
<0> run chkdsk on the drive, Swuave
<0> that wont help
<1> compdoc, after i take an image snapshot do i have to leave the image software installed & running in background or can i then uninstall it ?
<0> no idea
<2> I'de like to restore all my windows files but the only windows xp cd i have here is in chinese. I wondered if that would convert the language on my omp:\
<1> cuz i dont like anything running in background except necessary stuff
<2> Compdoc: If I put an xp cd in the drive would I be able to boot up and restore my files without delete already installed programs.
<1> compdoc, have u happened to hear of a fake mcaffee popup spyware that spybot and hijackthis and adaware cant see ?
<0> yes, doing a repair install
<0> there are a few spywares that no program can detect or repair. Ive had to remove them by hand
<2> This is the first time i've ever really had a hard time with a virus or what have you.
<2> I never opened anythig unless i knew what it was. Don't have random things uploaded and i'm connected through a router.
<2> So someone can't connect to my comp directly.
<2> As far as my comp goes i basicly have no security on it.
<0> well, youre not sure what the problem is yet
<1> my freinds desktop box has a constantly reappearing mcaffee warning popup getting in the way all the time even tho his browser has popup protection etc and he runs adaware spybot and hijackthis, then yesterday he bought a new wireless laptop which already had the real McAffee av installed and the SAME popup started showing up within minutes after he first ran it
<2> Compdoc: I ran the Kasperspy and it detected W32.Bagz@mm all over the place.
<2> I knew i had gotten this virus becuase i seen the file sitting there on my comp and i was like "WTF IS ThIS? and i tapped del then enter
<0> does it infect system files?
<2> but it opened then file as well as trying to delete it.
<2> Yeah, i think it does.
<0> its best to run av and antispyware in safe mode
<2> Since I can't open msconfig or click start menu since i got rid of it.
<2> I did run the av prog in safe mode.
<2> I'm pretty confident the virus is now gone.
<0> cool
<2> If i did a restore with my chinese edition of winxp would it switch the language over?
<0> well, if it damaged system files, ytoyu might have to do a repair install of xp. but it should be th esmae language, and the same service pack as the os thats on there
<1> compdoc i cant remember how to get into safemode, i hit f8 but it only gives me some other options not safemode
<0> sissy`, youre hitting it too soon
<1> when is not too soon ?
<0> wait till after the drives are detected
<1> ahh ok good info thx
<2> Alright then i'll go try a repair in and come back in a few
<2> thx
<0> you need to press it when the pc actually starts to load the os
<0> not many motherbaords use the f8 key for options - its kinda dumb
<1> compdoc, how could my freinds brandnew out of the box wireless laptop get the same mcaffee spyware popup the first time he turned it on ?
<0> I hate mcafee - dunno
<1> tand the popup keeps showing up and getting in the way etc
<0> have him uninstall it
<3> sissy``: the laptop probably came with a program that is considered "spyware".. like maybe one of the games
<3> aND MCAFEE ****S
<3> err caps
<1> uninstall mcaffee yes i will try that but that didnt help his other computer which had the exact same thing, so..
<3> run microsoft antispyware
<1> yes mcaffee sux but toshiba already installed it brand new
<0> I just unloose despy on any pc I have troubles with
<1> its weird
<1> hahaha
<3> ;p
<1> compdoc, a few days ago steve gibson said on a net radioshow that the latest MS metafile backdoor had to have been intentionally put in by someone or some group at MS, have u heard that ?
<0> yeah, someone mention that n undernet
<0> on
<1> what do think about it ?
<0> well, anything is possible - I havent seen his reasons for thinking that
<3> i read that too
<3> i think that its conspiracy theory
<3> like microsoft needs their own backdoor
<1> compdoc, do u know if its true that MS has several thousand employees working somewhere in Ft Meade ?
<1> i hope thats just a stupid rumour
<4> What's significant about that?
<1> umm.. ft meade is also nsa headquarters
<0> MS has lots of employees
<1> yes but does MS have alot of employees working somewhere in Ft Meade i was wondering
<5> the early p4's were socket 423 right ?
<1> ken poulsen has already claimed finding nsa code embedded in both IE and Netscape way back in the late 90s, but
<1> i was just wondering
<1> maybe gibson is just trying to start something for attention
<3> Number17: yes
<3> and were mostly rambus
<5> yar just making sure
<3> ive found only a couple 423 boards that take something other than rambus
<5> i think my moms comp fan broke on the HSF
<0> your mom is too hard on pc hardware
<1> but when i listen to steve gibson talk on the internet i dont get much of a sense of big ego or pomposity at all
<5> the computer so what old as it is, so some component breaking is understandable
<1> gibson's speaking tone is almost humble i'd say
<0> surfing martha steward websites is known to destroy cpu fans
<1> hahaha
<1> compdoc u so silly
<0> marry me
<5> yeah really funny
<5> my mom is the warez queen
<1> well i think i want to marry gibson
<5> i'd imagine shes up to 1.5 - 1.6 TB downloaded
<1> steve gibson to be my lawful wedded husband someday :)
<1> he will maintain my unhackable box
<1> in my dreamz
<0> cant you just use a chastity belt?
<1> compy u might like to listen to steve's official detailed interview on MS's intentional backdoor -> http://media.grc.com/sn/SN-022-lq.mp3
<1> its scary
<1> i think steve might need to consider hiring bodyguards
<1> i hope not
<3> mm just finished up building my new pc
<3> runs pretty nice
<3> a64 3200+ with 1.5gb ram
<1> u can also download gibson brand new "KnockKnock" backdoor tester - http://www.grc.com/miscfiles/KnockKnock.exe
<3> nothing extreme, but nice and quick for casual pc usage
<0> I use the 3000+
<0> its fast enough for what I do
<3> xp or 64?
<0> Ive tried the 3500+ and the x2 3800+
<3> i had a a64 3000+ with 512 i was running linux on
<0> 64
<3> time to ebay that
<3> + msi k8n neo mobo
<0> its hard to find the 3000+ a64
<0> everyones been sold out
<3> turns out i have an extra 160gb sata wd drive too
<3> yet another thing for ebay
<6> my work doesn't close for Martin luther king day, I'd call that racist
