I have very mixed opinions about rap. First let me say that I in no way see rap as a form of music. Other than a bass line or drum beat, there is really no music involved in rap. It may be rhythmic, but rhythm != music. Second, I will never listen to radio rap. Rap on the radio, or on MTV or VH1 is awful, with no exceptions. Like you guys have pointed out, it doesn't even rhyme. The people on these programs have no artistic ability whatsoever, and they are getting paid for the way they dress, the jewlry they flash, and the attitude they can portray. With all that being said, there is a s

Hi shaggysi, welcome to the forums! Hope you like it here!

Also see if the Norton Removal Tool helps. I am unsure if this will still prompt for a password.

We used to have something on the bottom of the forums where you could do that. However, with the most recent forum upgrade, Jeff didn't include it. I'm sure it is simple to put back up, but he's on vacation in Florida right now with his girlfriend, so he may not be stopping by for a few more days. I'll add it to his to-do list. Matt

Man TK, its been a while! Keep us updated and pop in a bit more if you can!

I was wondering what Google would spit out for today

Hi TheTrueDarkOne, let's get started. While TeaTimer is an excellent tool for the prevention of spyware, it can sometimes prevent HijackThis from fixing certain things. Please disable TeaTimer for now until you are clean. TeaTimer can be re-activated once your HijackThis log is clean. Open Spybot Search & Destroy. In the Mode menu click "Advanced mode" if not already selected. Choose "Yes" at the Warning prompt. Expand the "Tools" menu. Click "Resident". Uncheck the "Resident "TeaTimer" (Protection of overall system settings) active." box. In the File menu click "Exit" to exit Spybot Searc

Hi Tony, so for the long delay before a reply. Since it has been a while, if you still need help with this issue, please post back with a new HJT log. Matt

I see in your topic title, it says (resolved). Do you still need help?

Yeah it is.. my highest right now is Firefox with about 52,000 K

Something I've also wondered. On one hand, it makes sense that they wouldn't want to invest too much time and resources into one particular infection. On the other hand, AVG-AS find and removes infections like Qoo. Another question could be legality. Smitfraudfix deals with the removal of rogue software. It could be possible that these companies don't want to be sued for "accusing potentially rival software of being malware" but who knows?

It actually targets particular files and registry items. This is why it has to be constantly updated. Here is the changelog to show what it looks for: http://siri.urz.free.fr/Fix/ChangeLog.php Matt

Hiya Flash. As of right now, TrendMicro says they do not plan to start selling the program. However, in a world of business, that could change any day. This is another reason why a replacement is already being worked on. If Trend starts selling the program, the EULA will most likely change. It would certainly reduce the number of users. I'm also willing to bet (but not sure, Jeff would know better than me) that if the program goes 'paid', it could restrict the free support that sites offer. Right now, many people are already banking on a new, but similar tool; but HJT hasn't been thrown

Audacity is a good free app.

Quote from Merijn (HJT Developer): As you might imagine, this has shaken the anti-malware community. What this means for HJT, many are unsure. TrendMicro has slapped a trademark on the tool, which raises questions about the legality of offering support across forums. TM also has a knack for taking fantastic tools and letting them fall down the drain (think CWShredder). While version 2.0 has new features and bugs that Merijn had planned to fix, it also has some serious downsides. Firstly, it has a sort of "self-analyzing" tool that compares your log results to a DB of logs that others hav

This is a bug in the forum software that we should have worked out soon. See here: http://www.besttechie.net/forums/index.php...iew=getlastpost
