By Talker

My computer has been going really slow for a few days and my security system says that my internet, email, and parental locks. need attention but when I click fix. it says there is an error and cannot and I have a pop up blocker and it is on but I still get pop ups. is there a way to fix my computer with out paying for it to get fixed. Is there a program I can use? I have already scanned and defragmented my computer but it didn’t do anything.

Try this…

delete your browsing history on the internet.
re-run the defrag
reinstall your virus protection or whatever is giving you the trouble

sounds like some spyware or virsus’s, and a computer fixer (IT) said that even if you have a program that stops spyware or virsus’s there still not removed from the computer so if you really want your computer back to normal i would take it in, and also upgrade your ram that always helps computer performances

One temporary thing you can do (I agree, take it in and get the viruses wiped out) is go into your internet browser and type ‘%temp%’ and erase your temporary files as well as use the icon the backs you up one directory and erase your temporary internet files.

Looks like vundo_trojan to me. Go there :
http://www.atribune.org/content/view/24/... and download vundofix tool. run it.
Also download and install spybot S&D from here:
http://www.safer-networking.org/en/download/index.html

First click on update to upate it after instalation then run a scan.
If none of above help then download hijackthis from here:

http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/programs.php#hijackthis

make a scan create a longfile ,and post longfile in here:
http://forums.spywareinfo.com/ and/or here:
http://forums.spybot.info/index.php

some expert will help you threw this. but before post there first try the scan.
Also you can send hijack logfile to me too, but I don’t know how quick I can respond. lots in here.

A clean computer is key to a faster computer. Run the 3 scans below.

Run a virus scan weekly.

Update and run your Anti-Virus program. Don’t have one? You can run a free online scan from CA.
http://www3.ca.com/securityadvisor/virusinfo/scan.aspx

Run Spybot and Adaware weekly.

Download, update and run Spybot—http://www.safer-networking.org/… . Don’t forget to use the Immunize feature.

Download, update and run Adaware—http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaw…

Now to prevent spyware from being installed in the first place….

Download SpywareBlaster—http://majorgeeks.com/download2859.html
SpywareBlaster doesn’t scan and clean for spyware – it prevents it from ever being installed.

It’s main features include:
- Prevent the installation of ActiveX-based spyware, adware, browser hijackers, dialers, and other potentially unwanted pests.
- Block spyware/tracking cookies in Internet Explorer and Mozilla/Firefox.
- Restrict the actions of potentially dangerous sites in Internet Explorer.

Now lets clean up your registry.

Run RegScrubXP weekly. Run Cleanup every time you log off.

Download RegScrubXP–http://www.majorgeeks.com/download.php?d…

Safely cleans junk out of the Windows 2000/XP system registry. All changes made to the registry are fully restorable to it’s original condition. You can make an exclusion list of registry entries that RegScrubXP will not display as problems. You can sift through a list of file extensions, company names, run upon startup programs, Internet Explorer history, and uninstall programs to delete what you think is junk.

Download CleanUp—http://www.stevengould.org/software/clea…

Free disk space, make your computer run better/faster and protect your privacy – all in one easy solution. All for free!

Now lets clean up your disk.

Run a Disk Cleanup 2 times a month. Run Disk Defrag. monthly.

Do a Disk Cleanup and Disk Defrag. You can find both of them by following the path below.
Start>all programs>accessories>system tools>Disk Cleanup. Let it do its thing. You can check every box that has something to delete.
Now follow the same path and do a Disk Defrag. Again just let it do its thing.

Now lets tweak your connection.

If your speed is good I would not mess with it by trying to tweak it. If you do tweak once it is done you should not have to do it every again.

There are many programs out there to do this. I will give you 2 of them.
The first one is TCP Optimizer.

Description: The TCP Optimizer is a free, easy Windows program that provides an intuitive interface for tuning and optimizing your Internet connection. There is no installation required, just download and run.

http://www.speedguide.net/downloads.php….

You can get support for the best way to set it up right from their forum http://forums.speedguide.net/

The second one is Cablenut.

Windows XP tested and approved

CableNut is a tool for optimizing your Internet Connection. We have provided a way to tweak any option you may want to in the adjuster. You can load “CableNut Custom Setting” files that are included with the program to tweak your Internet connection.

Again support is available right from their forum.http://www.broadbandnuts.com/index.php?p…

All programs are FREE!

After applying the suggestions above you will have a clean and faster computer. Enjoy.

Sounds like a virus. For some virus you have to remove them in safe mode. If you are still current with your virus software defense then go to their web site and have them evaluate you computer if they can. Then do what ever they recommend.

If not current push Ctrl Alt and Delete keys at the same time. Look and see what process are running than go and see what is taking up your process time. Disable any that you don’t recognize to free up time. Then try to run you anti virus software again. If it still can not fix then you need to run you virus software in the safe mode.

Reboot your computer and as it is coming up push your F8 key. Select run in safe mode. Run your anti-virus software and do what it says.
