IF you accessed http://www.gold-vault.com your computer is in danger. As well might be your gold. I don't know if this application is a Trojan for a backdoor to sniff your puter keystrokes or just something destructive to destroy your data. All the way around it is a very BAD thing. IF you do not understand what I have typed below GET HELP...!! Ask your closest guru. I would help more, but I'm packing to leave town. This is all I can do for you for now. You need to go into DOS ( for those who don't know DOS is your disk operating system -- what Windoze runs on --- without DOS windows would not run ) and remove anything that bears any resemblence to the following. This is what I have found thus far. I have not gone into the system registry yet. It may be hiding somewhere else on your system. BUT it may not. If you go into Windows Explorer you may find it there like I did. I had some weird stuff in my temp files too.... got rid of those. I also have all my network adapters modifed so that it is impossible for them to telnet in etc. Have manually closed a number of ports including netbios. Get this bad boy out of your system ASAP..!! GOOD LUCK...!!! Sorry I can't help more....but am providing you with enough for you to ask someone for help. I have to get packed and I have to get this out of my machine myself. Had feeling of bad juju as soon as I visited the site. My concerns have now been verified. ===================================== Here ya go: Type gold-vault Location C:\My Documents Size: 11.0KB (11,264 bytes), 16,384 bytes used MS-DOS name GOLD-V~1.com ( that tilde should be higher --- bloody keyboard ) also the -(dash could be a .
