CCleaner gets much larger rankings on CNET

My OS = XP
Way faster Way better looking

Thats a pretty good point as well.
I started my own business up here at my college (I'm a freshman) and of course I mostly see the porn infections.
Another way I've seen that is common is the popup "You have viruses on your computer click here to run a free scan!"

These are all so dull I can't believe no one here has some class.
I can't do a screenshot to sum up my Desktop so I made a video for you.

I completely agree, yet unfortunately 96% of computer users are stupid.
The other 4% are techies.

"Never use MSConfig to disable startup programs no matter what others have recommended. MSConfig is for troubleshooting purposes only. If you use it to disable startups and then run the program, you may cause what is known as a memory leak which does all sorts of strange things to your system. And disabling programs and services with it can get you into trouble that only a repair install can get you out of. Please note the warning found on the Microsoft site concerning MSConfig.. Instead, use one of the following startup managers."
This quote was posted in a forum that had been locked up above. I do have an issue with this.
This possibly has to be one of the most bogus paragraphs I have ever heard.
Msconfig is an excellent tool for startup programs. It's very reliable. If worst comes to worst and you turn off a program that is essential to your login. (there are very few if ever any of these) then simply go to safe mode and turn it back on using the same method.
You won't get a "memory leak"
You don't need to clog your system with a program that does what windows essentially already does.

Of course Porn Sites are more dangerous than other sites. What planet are you living on?

Its simple really. Every time she gets a blue screen most likely her computer restarts right after she gets it.
On every blue screen there is a code.
See here: http://www.resnetsymposium.org/wiki/images...ue-screen-2.jpg
To prevent her computer from restarting automatically so you can right this down for me do the following.
Go to My Computer.
Click the Tools Menu
Click Folder Options
Click the View Tab
Make Sure Hide Extensions for Known File Types is Unchecked. Then click ok and exit out of my computer
Select the Following Text and copy it into a notepad. You can open a notepad by going to start - all programs - accessories - notepad.
Save this notepad onto your desktop and name it CrashControl.reg
Now you want to put in a USB drive into your computer. Drag this file onto the usb drive. Plug it into the usb drive of her computer and when on her desktop double click this file.
It should say "do you want to add these entries to the registry? Click Yes.
Now wait until she gets a blue screen and write down the code. Post it back here when you are done and I'll walk you through how to fix it.

Switch to Avast.
AVG 8.0 is way too bloated.
AVG 7.0 was really good.
Personally I don't use antivirus programs. Just a waste on resources. Plus I don't visit porn sites or download misc. executables.

Why the heck would you manually delete them?
Just use CCleaner.
Duh.

Are you sure you're blocking the correct MAC address? He shouldn't be able to access the web if its the correct MAC address.
Edit: Removed the YouTube video link - no need to be rude.
-
If you can get me the blue screen code I can help.
You have to add a registry hack to stop it from automatically restarting so you can jot it down.
You can browse through my registry hacks, its in there. Then just make a .reg file and add it to her machine.
If you don't know how to make one I can help you with that.

Vista *frowns*
Just get ObjectDock for a replacement. It looks x100 better, takes up hardly any system resources. You can have the functionality of a Mac for 1/2 the cost.

HI Brian,
It appears that the i was able to sign on the safe mode and appears to be a Trojan Virus that is giving me problems. Any ideas how i can eliminate it. I have the AVG antivirus software. And i am always getting a malware system error notice on teh bottom left with a yellow sign with an exclamation point. Any Ideas??? Thanks.
While in safe mode go to start run and type msconfig
Go to the startup tab.
Disable all software except for your antivirus software.
Then log into your regular account and install Ad Aware (google it its free)
Do a scan with AVG and AdAware.
We have malware experts on this site. OP should follow Pete's advice on posting a HJT log. -TT75-

You can use some of these for Vista. Adding them won't hurt vista (I've tried)If you could help me discover errors, add your own suggestions etc. That'd be just great.
