My computer, after using it for a while, makes strange noises and goes really slow, when I go into task manager, i find these programs that run, and i have no idea what they are, when i run a search, I find them in a folder I cannot see with windows explorer, and its full of exe files that has weird names like aacrljny.exe or rvkgbyqw.exe, once I end task they exe file, my computer goes back to normal, what the heck are these files? |

meh, some virus/adware etc.... msconfig if you've got win98/xp/me/shit or just use regedit, and search for one of those filenames....it should be under hklm->software->micro->windows->explorer->currentversion->run or something like that delete all the keys that have weird names |

if it is virus, it wouldn't be killed easy by deleting regedits, but if it is adware or spyware, it would be much easier. |

not really true, for 2 of the 5 latest viruses, that regedit key (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run) was the only method used to acctually load the virus. and for the other 3 of the 5 it was one of the ways the virus loads... so this method is effective 40% of the time....and the other 60% it is partially effective, and can lead you to what is acctually being run. |

Get AdAware from lavasoft, you should be able to find it on kazaa or suprnova or something. |

I ran both THAT AND AVG, but this stuff wasn't found, the only reason I was suspicious was because as soon as I end task it, it comes back, that plus the name was weird. |

well i still have the funkii unremovable logger "virus".. that some jap guy wrote to conduct some servey of internet browsing.. i mean all you can do is either a) not get it, or get somekind of Firewall to protect your PC, b) scan an infected pc or c) format the pc... |

ok some hints..... When a security warning comes up.... ALWAYS SAY NO! they are almost always Spyware.... -Adware doing a Full system scan (hard drive + reg) should help -run 'msconfig' and remove all unknowns from startup -full system scan with AVG anti virus www.grisoft.com -use the free version of ZoneAlarm by : www.zonelabs.com (firewall) -Also the Normal Kazaa Media Desktop is full of Spyware / viruses -Download the 1000 (constant Participation level) no spyware + wicked program (Kazaa Lite ) [url] au.geocities.com/the_short69/Klite.zip [/url]off of my site... (i have it there for backup since some new ones cost $) -go to www.pcpitstop.com and do a full system scan... when its done look at the Detailed Report and see what your computer is REALY running and it will say if its a Spyware, Virus, Required, Unknown, Or Other... Plus that site is wicked for everything else... ok.... thats all i could think off.... as i fix peoples computers with all mentioned above....whenever i go to their house...!!!! |

ok the makers of Kazaa Lite took Crappy spyware ridden Kazaa, removed the Junk, Made it better, Removed participation level, removed those stupid yellow search results, + sooo much more.... KaZaa lite is the BEST i think for dl musik, and software... (well be careful with software)-viruses some times... anyways..... try it out.... when you install it, Dont install the extra features... they make kazaa too laggy....and dont work too good.... Kazaa Lite also has a built in acelerator... Just try and u see what i mean au.geocities.com/the_short69/Klite.zip <<<mite run out of bandwidth if everyone starts downloading this...>> THIS LINK IS MEANT FOR JONOS i forget the site i got this from.... now anyways Kazaa Lite (some versions) cost money.... this one is FREEE!!!!!!!!!!!! |

yah i really like the new shareaza because it brings up a lot more results for my searches. the only problem is that some REALLY rare files like the Nike basketball song I couldn't seem to get any good hits Limewire isn't good because you can't really stop and resume downloads, and the interface is really confusing, much more than the clean Shareaza |
