1. Do a search for a file called "hosts" on your computer
2. Add
127.0.0.1 badsitehere.com
127.0.0.1 ads.badsitehere.com
127.0.0.1 otherbadsitehere.com
And "Save"

Is there an entire list of files in that specific folder? I'm suspecting it's a) hidden, and b) tm followed by random characters.. however, it'll have an executable extension..

Thanx for the heads-up.. I had no idea .jpgs were a risk now. Well, I knew theoretically, but didn't know someone had put it into practice..

You shouldn't need an excess of software; a single firewall, a single antivirus, and updated security patches from Microsoft are sufficient to keep you protected from pretty much everything - the...

That is extremely general information.

Deleting the infected files in all likelihood solved the problem. Those file names are from a family of worms W32.HLLW.Gaobot, and here's a lot of information on them. ...

If it gets to that point - where you can't discover what the virus/trojan that caused this was, and therefore can't find the proper tools to undo the damage - I'd recommend reinstalling prior to...

They're just emails using spoofed addresses from where you appeared in someone's address book - you're not actually sending them. Run a virus check anyway, just to be sure :) I get several hundred a...

If it didn't happen again, I wouldn't worry TOO much about it - it appears it was having trouble accessing win.ini for the time, in any case..

Nah, always reinstall before reformat, it may be possible to save. ;)

I never realized it could cause damage to remove it. Thanks for the info.
In the past, I simply found the module that ran at startup and deleted it from the system.. seemed to prevent any further...

The first one sounds fine - the second, not so much.
I have to disagree with this - the second one is generic enough I'd recommend not letting it through and see what breaks, ie., can you not...

Just 'cause it just happens to be a WinXP question, I'm moving it to that forum. Even though you got your answer already.. :)

The other programs probably don't find it because it may be a brand new and/or little-known search bar, and "browser helper objects" (HA) don't appear in msconfig, and unless the programmer...

Are there any other locations offered as an option? And are there properties associated with the Home location?

It did let me down.. you see, I had a boot virus, and formatting a drive won't touch it.. ;)
Anyway, yeah, answer's in the sig. Cracking/distribution of 'serialz' etc. isn't allowed here, as...

It never surprises me when this sort of thing happens anymore, I mean, everyone's on a skim budget, but I wonder if this is in any way equivalent to email support: ...

Hello, I hope I am posting this in the right forum.. if not, I'm guessing it belongs in General & Business Software.
Anyway, I have a small domain on which I recently offered a friend of mine...

This one truly stumps me. Unless it's being called by another program, or is hidden in what looks like a legitimate file under another program's file group.. have you run the full scans on...
-
You're right.. I should've just stuck it briefly. :)
-
Thanks. I would make it sticky, but, boy, do we have a lot of them already.
Actually.. I'll make it sticky anyway.

Since you've done everything you can to disable.. I think maybe the folks in the networking forum can help out with this problem a little better. :)

That's pretty much exactly how to do it.. But an easier way might be to do a search of files and folders in your computer named "hosts" - when you find a file named "hosts" (it has no extension) -...
