jaffies use this topic the PMs are useless.

The PMs are only good if I stay on that one screen name. And being it's the 4th of July I may want to do some trolling, so use this topic to work on your pc.

for anyone reading this: I just gotta say MOUSE IS THE MAN! Dude knows his stuff.

----

So mouse, after opening avast again, it prompted me for a boot scan which I ran. All of a sudden it was picking up things left and right. I started deleting some and quarantining others to see what they were. (I'll list the ones I saved here[/edit here]). After that all things went back to normal, at least as far as I can tell.

Here is the first link.

So I still went along and ran ewido and it was a pretty detailed scan, it took about an hour and 1/2. Although it only found 2 things: 1 tracking cookie, and 1 adware.

Try this and post how many errors.

Right after I ran RegCure and it was speedy, but found 1363 errors! Most of them in File/Path references (579) and Empty registry keys (695). can't clean em yet.

I'm gonna keep working on this a little more throughout the day, I'll keep you posted.

As long as you did the Avast boot up scan I am sure the serious stuff is gone.



you will need this to download the torrent.

Thanks, I think I found the one I'm going to use. He's in my city, certified, and he's one of the ones you found.

Appreciate the help.

mouse,

(update) After running the avast and ewido, things started to go back to the way they were. I could access email, all websites were accessible again, and virus removal/quarantine notifications from mcafee stopped.

So today I turned on the laptop again with the intention of running the complete version of RegCure. Although the 1st thing that happened was a virus notification from avast (smss.exe) and one from mcafee (generic downloader). I quarantined them and continued on just to see what else was still on the fritz. So when I was in firefox, the weird pop up windows of random (life insurance, internet game sites, etc.) were still popping up. So I ran my AdAware scan and found 7 items, none of them were different from the stuff i'd seen it catch before.
Then I continued on and ran RegCure and it found and cleaned all 1370 errors.

So that's where it's at currently. I keep you updated, i might try another ewido scan or another anti-adware/spyware program if the popups continue.


edit- also, does the avast home ed. program that I have expire after a certain amount of time?

btw, I am planning on compensating you after all is said and done.

What are you going to give him your vBookie cash?

Thank you mouse! I got it back yesterday. He replaced the dc jack and it's working perfectly. I never would have thought of craigslist, if I had sent it back to HP it would have cost me at least double and taken weeks to get done. The guy that fixed it was wonderful, if I have any more problems I know where to go.

Thanks again, I really appreciate it.

Mouse always fixes my pc's.

Actually I was worried about Craig's list. You never know what your going to get, who knows the man could have ruined your board and then I would have not been able to sleep.



For at least an hour.
I used Craig's' list to find a way out of doing something I don't want to do. Right now I am on Craig's list to see who I can get to assemble Joe Chalupa's trampoline that has been sitting in his dusty garage for 4 years. Our goal is to get it put together before his kids are out of collage.

So don't thank me for being a lazy coward!

Then I guess I got lucky.

The guy I found is a certified tech, working at the college computer store, he had great references. And the laptop is fine.

You suggested it, it was my choice to use it and I did my homework before I gave it to him.

Appreciate the help, whatever the motive.
