kc0rkx_finch, I've never ever sent you any mails nor will I do so in the future. Why would I?

I know, it can be painful to realize that well-done and well-meant are quite different. It is very common to give well-meant advises which seem to be useful and may actually work sometimes under the right conditions. Unfortunately, such advises come with bad side-effects like causing a false sense of security, confusing hacks with The Right Thing(TM), ignorance of reasonable concepts to keep your computer safe etc. Like usually, The Right Thing(TM) is often less comfortable than some botch but in the long run the former is a clear winner.

It's too bad that these pseudo-experts are ubiquitous all over the web. You can't fight them all without becoming a modern Don Quixote. This is really bad because it'll spoil the majority of people. Most people know very little about computers and how to use the internet properly. You cannot blame them at all because nobody teaches them. We're living in the mediaeval times of computer technology and people have more trust in computer "religion" than computer science. Virus scanners and other snake oil is the modern incarnation of excorcism.

KASPERSKY CAN AND WILL NOT DETECT THIS HIDDIOUS WORM. FORGET IT. IF ANY OF YOU CANNOT FIND ESSENTIAL FOLDERS, IT'S BECAUSE YOU XP'S DEFAULT SETTING TO "HIDE" THESE FOLDERS IS ACTIVE. CHOOSE "SHOW" AND YOUR IN.

I_Have_No_Account

You need to just stay out of this forum. kc0rkx_finch just helped me get rid of a virus and a problem on my computer. Everyone is trying to help everyone in here. Why even bother to come in here and start problems? I guess no one will ever know. But please if you dont like what we are doing then stay out of here. Thanks again kc0rkx_finch.

Ok First of all I_ Have_No_Account F*** YOU!!!!!!!!!!

All you want to do is come in here and start something
And nobody wants to here what you got to say.


OK Now Thank you very much kc0rkx_finch and BoobyNaini you have helped saved me a great deal of trouble and by the way I_ Have_No_Account. THIS PROCESS WORKS JUST FINE
You are the one who is providing false information on things that are not even required for you to do to get rid of this thing.

So I thank those who have taken the time to find out how to get rid of this problem.

And as for you (I_ Have_No_Account) How bout you find yourself a different street corner to stand on.

AARomulus out............................................... .....................

My Limewire kept opening over and over, so I found this place and tried to fix it, but it isn't working.

I uninstalled Limewire but my ctrl+alt+delete isn't working, which makes me think that I have a virius. I'm really not very good at these type of things. It hasn't been long since this happened. It has only been a day, so I really want to fix this before everything gets screwed up.
(I'm on windows xp if that means anything to solving this problem)

I cannot find anything with "winupdates". I got that taskmgr onto my desktop and when I open it the system idle process is the only thing running at high cpu.
I can't find "c:\windows\regedit.exe", but I did find "c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe" so that is on my desktop for when I need it.

Someone please help me!!

Where did this thing come from anyway? Was it embedded in the 4.9.30 update?

I've already seen that. That's how I got here.

I'm not sure why you thought that would help me. It brings me here, where I asked the question, for you to direct me back there.

And as I wrote I'm not good at these things so half the things on that page talking about the virius I don't understand.

My computer seems fine now. I ran Norton Anti-Virius, and Ad-Aware a few times. Once the computer was turned on for the day today it has been fine and ctrl+alt+delete are working now.
My music volume isn't showing on the screen but I doubt that has anything to do with this.

That link was to explain to Searu where the viruses come from but I am guessing you are Searu. The Viruses do not come embedded on limeWire you download them from the network when you are download files. If you read the link and the off shots in it you would have figured that out.

Like I said some times I just have to Laugh.
