Actually, I can take care of most of my stuff without the need of any 3rd party apps. Alot of people can't do stuff manually though so there are handy lil apps available to do the shit for them. I am certified and I work with computers almost everyday at work...yes...I said *work*..something that quite a few people here don't do(most of the boxes that go into the shop are Windows boxes). I am a guru, alright pal. ;P
Now will you please just shut your fucking cocksucker unless you have anything helpful to say in this thread(seeing how it is a help thread you know :rolleyes: ).

Soooooo... we got a guru, huh?
O.k., I got a question for the guru.
A coworker had xp totally fubar today, and all he does is send/receive email, and input names and adresses in to access. Norton AV is running, and is updated on a regular basis. This is the second time in two months that xp is completely unbootable. What do you think "trap 000000006" means?
It means total reinstall. LOL!
Help? well I did put the windowsbbs.com link didnt I?
And I didn't use any foul, potty-mouthed language like some people. How do you think the lady is gonna feel when she reads your scribble?

Hello. I have win 98. I wish to clean out the registry of spy ware and chain server type junk. I think there is something running hidden in the background. My nephew used AIM on it as well as Kazaa and I myself tried a few online radio web sites that <unknowingly> happen to place chain server stuff on the hard drive. I have uninstalled everything I could find, but when I run msconfig, a lot of stuff is still there waiting to be checked to start up on boot up. I want to clean it up. I have Norton system works and within it is a tool for editing the registry (Norton registry editor). What files or folders should I look out for?

well hilary, there is NO WAY to actually make sure that there is no spyware, and there are no background processes running in windows. There are several utilities you can use to try and do this however they all edit your registry and make other applications that bit more unstable as a result. Plus, you have a problem in that very few, if any, utilities can stop the windows components themselves from spying on you and from damaging programs' settings.
i could recommend a couple of apps that you could use, just like zombie die, if i were going to, i would probably recommend zonealarm which will enable you to keep tabs on all ingoing and outgoing IP data, effectively making you aware of any spyware goings on, and IEradicator, which will remove many of the biggest security threats facing windows right now.
But as i said, who wants more programs installed on your machine, ruining the settings for everything else? when it comes down to it, the best way to make sure your windows PC is not doing anything you don't want it to do is to never switch it on. If you use your windows computer, you really have to accept that it will be doing a certain amount of unwanted things. Such is the nature of a closed source "operating system".
And rudeCat, how do you know that hilary is a lady? Hilary is a name that can be given to men or women!
