Computer help- pleeese!

[Glutton4...]

I DO wish you Geeks would speeka da eenglish!

*ducks...




Actually, I just wish I was smart enough to understand it all! I love the fact that any one of us can come on to the Vine, ask a question about ANYTHING, and there is always someone who can help. I love this place!

that was english! I once was a geek, now I'm come out of GA... so all that was from memory hehe. I did used to sit and pull virus' apart for "fun"... blimey, if only I could go back in time and give myself a good hiding! I'd have probably become a vet, rather than a programmer!!! tut.

this should help if it hasn't already been resolved: The home of Spybot-S&D!

OK, you are all losing me a little. I know a bit but.... anyway, full scan (which took all night and good part of today to complete) showed absolutely nothing and this antivirus detector(avast- installed by my brilliant computer fixing guy) has so far been really good at not letting anything open if it was infected. There's no overload of info when I rebooted and it's all running very smoothly again. It was the fact that a trojan virus could camouflage itself as this programme that really worried me when I had n't made any alterations/downloaded anything new.
Many many thanks, all been an interesting learing curve.
Normal service now resumed and we can all go back to talking gardens and chickens

[lettucegrow!]

Oh that's still a possibility. I've never been and after all the stress of the sick pooter could be just what I need

JD ?

lettucegrow - that Spy Bot Search & Destroy is a great utility for keeping your clean of spyware, etc. Antoher good one is Adaware - but I think Spy bot has the edge.

I pulled two lovely parnsips out the other day - beauts!
