Usually those Gotcha programs disable themselves if you put the mouse in the top left or right corner. I doubt it's a virus, just a stupid program made in VB or something.
You'll have to look in msconfig (regedit if your on 2K or NT) and remove the program if it runs on startup. _____________________________ steve oliver senior internet developer atnet solutions, inc. http://www.atnetsolutions.com -----Original Message----- From: Andrew Scott [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Saturday, March 09, 2002 1:30 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: WAY OT: Virus or not GOTCHA Have you tried running a virus protector, to clean the system?

Small [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, 8 March 2002 8:45 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: WAY OT: Virus or not GOTCHA Hi all... OK, this is ridiculous, but my boss's son got stupid and opened up a program that puts some sort of thing on his machine that has a button on it and moves when you go near it. It says something like "Gotcha" when you go near it. Any ideas what it is? Help on how to get rid of it or find out what it is is appreciated. I'm not anywhere near the computer, and don't intend to go near it unless the boss says to. I'm really sorry for the off topic post, but I can't find any info on this. Thank you, - Matt Small ______________________________________________________________________ Get Your Own Dedicated Windows 2000 Server PIII 800 / 256 MB RAM / 40 GB HD / 20 GB MO/XFER Instant Activation · $99/Month · Free Setup http://www.pennyhost.com/redirect.cfm?adcode=coldfusionb FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/cf-talk@houseoffusion.com/ Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists
