the best defens is a good offense, so once you have an anti-virus (i have Virex) update! update! update!
It is a crime to kill a neighbor, and an act of heroism to kill an enemy.  But who is an enemy and who is a neighbor is purely a matter of social definition.  - E.R. Leach

Win 32 Rontokbro.U@mm

Anyone else here with this that can help with tips would be appreciated - I
can't make lasting changes in the Windows registry and can't restart WinXP
in Safe Mode - so I'm looking at the option of targeting run processes HERE
with a copy of Process Explorer and hopefully setting Symantec AV on to it!


Peace

My computer was as Katia said, a little sick. I downloaded the AVG and it seems to be better. Just wondering if when the trial is up they will come back.  

Thanks for bringing this back from the depths.  :)

This was from 2004, heehee  8O

Aaron, I wish I could help you. I hope you'll fix this asap!
Let us know, please.

I have bought a new pc (*gasp) in the time between this post, and when I made this thread, a better one! (amagawsh!) :lol:
I am still using AVG Free, and haven't had any problems, so it must be working ok.
I also regularly scan my pc using Spybot Search & Destroy, and Adaware.
Do you scan your computer regularly, Aaron?

When I use F8 as requested in the boot sequence it seems to ignore it - I think it let me start
in Safe Mode just once earlier, but I didn't have the other utilities aboard I plan to use now :razz:

Yes, but not my flash drive  :oops: Seems I picked up this Trojan from the internet café I'm at now

I tried running the Process Explorer utility earlier today only to have it shut
down by the Trojan. I'm resorting to Mediaware Task Manager as plan B :wink:

Update; WindowsXP Installer is now compromised by rontokbro.U@mm aswell, so I haven't had
any success trying add alternatives to Windows Task Manager. Interestingly, some errors in the last
few days have actually brought XP's Task Manager on screen, but only momentarily. I have just put
a few registry fix utilities on my flash drive, so hopefully I can get a bit further with one of these  :wink:

is it true macs cant get a virus?
i dont have any protection software on my powerbook, and i've had it for 2 years and never even had a pop up. i constantly delete cookies and stuff to try to clean it up but could any real damage be made?
