Re: Odd Computer Issue Hi.The way to protect yourself for all this crab is mainly to use private browsing in your browser. Either that, or just only visit trusted websites. I use private browsing a lot, and I love it! Private browsing simply doesnt save anything on yur computer while browsing.URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid=156561#p156561 ___ Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com http://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector

Re: Odd Computer Issue Sounds like a trojan or malware. You might try malware bytes, which is free. Be very careful what gets installed, or you could be in a world of computer hurt.URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid=156492#p156492 ___ Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com http://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector
Re: [Audiogames-reflector] Odd Computer Issue
Re: Odd Computer Issue If youre on Windows, have you tried looking at the task manager? For a while, I was in the habit of checking it frequently, and googling some of the processes might help hunt down malicious ones.An unorthodoxed, not-necessarily-helpful idea: Search for phrases that appear in that message, either online or on your computer. (If the latter, be sure that its a thorough search, including system directories and such.) This might give you more useful information, like what program(s) are responsible/infected.Im trying to remember if this is what I did the first time I got hit with adware. I hadnt ever poked around in system files before and wound up deleting the registry before it was all said and done, but luckily, it was a pretty weak system whose servers apparently went offline between 2005 and 2008, so I was eventually able to pick off the pieces.This wont necessarily be as easy with more invasive stuff, but it might be somewhere to look if you cant find anything else. (Shutting down the internet to prevent it from downloading protective stuff while you attack it might help, too.)URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid=156494#p156494 ___ Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com http://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector
Re: [Audiogames-reflector] Odd Computer Issue
Re: Odd Computer Issue Malware is pretty freakin common. Seriously. And it pisses me off so much ... Same for adware. LOLWhat CAE said might be true. Also, sysinternals.com has some software that would let you check in deeper to what your computer is actually doing, but this is only good when you know what youre doing and are willing to do it by hand. You could seriously mess up some things with this.

Re: [Audiogames-reflector] Odd Computer Issue
Re: Odd Computer Issue Well, I kind of did something what you all suggested. I noticed that all the popups that were appearing came from better surf and hunted my compute rin the main directories and other lcoations for some suggested programs and folders that I found on-line to delete. Next, I downloaded an adware removal tool to obliterate more crap. It...uhh, obliterated more then what I wanted as it got rid of a lot of useless crap I wasnt expecting to go. Neat however. Third, Reset internet explorer and dont let it reload personal settings and delete it all to remove the rest of the adware thats clinging on for life. Lastly, reset compute rto let reset kick in. Now, I just need to look for a way to protect my computer from adware. malware bytes looks interesting, but I cant find a download that seems to actually activae/has its download page a bit mo re accessible.URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid=156507#p156507 ___ Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com http://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector

Re: [Audiogames-reflector] Odd Computer Issue
Re: Odd Computer Issue Well then, ran adware Cleaner (thanks for that Enes), and received a text file after the reboot with a list of removed programs and the like... I ttook me 10 minutes to read through the list of removed stuff, even some of the better surf crap that was hidden quite well (not well enough to avoid the cleaner but I somehow missed it). My computer seems to be running also a bit faster so theres that plus, and minus the startup lag, everything goes pretty fast. Now aain, to find something to protect my computer...*attempts to download malware bytes again*URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid=156519#p156519 ___ Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com http://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector
[Audiogames-reflector] Odd Computer Issue
Odd Computer Issue Well, for the past two weeks, Ive been dealing with a strange popup thingy that keeps asking to update my media player. I know this is not an actual update as I already have the latest update and this does not look like an official website. Ive tried sarching with a bunc hof virus scanners, malware scanners, and the like, and ran a junkware tool to get rid of it, which I thought it did as it uninstalled something called roaming mediaplayer. But again, it has returned, and is causing my computer to get distracted from wher eI am going and sometimes can cause NVDA to stutter and crash. This is getting highly annoying and I rather not resort to a system restore again just to have it reappear as I tried. As well, my website addresses are appearing at the very bottom of the screen for some reason, it never did that before. So, anyone know whats going on and how to fix it?URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid=156478#p156478 ___ Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com http://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector
