El Jefe Uno Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 You guys have helped before, so why not try again? There is some sort of malicious bullshit on my computer. I've run AdAware and Spybot in safemode and it seems like most of the shit is cleaned up, but there is some process that either attached itself to iexplore.exe or that's just its name. I don't use IExplorer, nor is the process ever running up until now. I get fake "You have Spyware on your computer, download our software" bullshit here and there also. Usually I can figure this shit out, but this one seems rather tough Any ideas? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest shai_hulud Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 Clean your registry. That should make a difference. Google Ccleaner. I'm having some problems with Google right now, or I'd give you a link. Install that and do what it tells you to do. It should take care of the problem. Also, get Avast! and use that, too. It's a free anti-virus app. If you have another AV running, disable it or uninstall it. Avast! is about as good as it gets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Jefe Uno Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 Good look. I have run Ccleaner, I forgot to mention that. It cleared up some, but not all. I'll look into Avast! Thank you very much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest shai_hulud Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 I'm not the Windows expert around here, but I know that Mainter speaks very highly of Avast! and Ccleaner. If you wait around, someone with a little more insight can help you set things right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do I get them back there? A: If you´re using Windows XP, the icons are probably hidden. In that case right-click on your Taskbar and choose Properties. A dialog box "Taskbar and Start menu properties" would appear. Then uncheck Hide inactive icons check box. If you´re not using Windows XP, OR if the previous solution doesn't fix the problem, run the ashDisp.exe program (it´s in C:\PROGRAM FILES\ALWIL SOFTWARE\AVAST4 directory). It should bring the icons up again. If they disappear after restart again, make a shortcut to the ashDisp.exe file in your Start-up folder.

Guest shai_hulud Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 God, it's nice having Mainter back. I was worried I was gonna hose someone's computer long distance with some bad Windows advice. Mainter, you know anything about iPods? I just got a 4th gen from Sleeping Pills, and it no worky after the FW update. Of course, it worked fine BEFORE the update. Naturally. The fucksticks at the Apple store are probably going to do everything I tried to do, and then say, "It's fucked, buy a new one. Thank you for shopping at the Apple Store!!!" I'm in a mood. It's raining, I'm complaining. Fuck it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bojangles Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 I've been playing around with a VNC connection between my desktop and my ipod touch. Two questions: 1. I'm using real VNC on my desktop with a new password (not the default). Can i keep it running at all times without worry or is that a huge security risk? 2. Will this VNC connection work outside of my home wireless network? I remember reading somewhere that you had to change the IP to some other number for it to work outside of the network or something like that.

Guest shai_hulud Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 I think it should be secure. I would use a password like "oldmcdonaldhadafarmeieio" or something. I only messed around with VNC a little bit, maybe casek will know more about this. That's cool the Touch can VNC into your desktop, though.
