I have added some new spyware removal and virus Removal programs to those I use to use. I list them on my Profile, but I want to be sure everyone has plenty of safe online fun, so I will list these here as well. Anyone needing any of these programs should contact me via email chksug06@yahoo.com, identify yourself as a sharetv member in your subject line please.

I use Spybots S&D, XoftSpySE, Lavasoft Adaware,PG2,Stinger programs from McAfee, and of course the Windows Maliciouse Software Removal tool, and Norton RootKit Detective and Symantic Antivirus. In the past, I have also used Norton Internet Security 2005, Avast Pro, AVG, and Nod32. Of those last four I may have older versions but they may still be updated.

thanks anyway but im gud for anti-virus stuff.

That is nice of you the trekhippy.

Have used some of those myself until I got the one from my ISP. Unfortunately it does not like to run in conjunction with any of those,but is realy good so I have no problems.

I just run Linux ;)

I have lots of anti-virus stuff running, firewall, Spybot, AVG, Zone Alarm, etc. but I still got infected a few days ago. The infection wasn't stopped but it was quickly identified and Spybot sorted some of it out and AVG isolated the rest. The problem is that three files which are infected and have been isolated are necessary for running some of my utilities and I cannot now run them. Wonder if Microsoft will send me good copies of the three windows\system32.dll files? Anyone know if they'll do that?

I have no idea if Microsoft do that or not.

Failing that a couple of suggestions,
I am assuming you have checked your windows disc for the files? If no joy there you may be able to get a copy off a friend? I have replaced files in just that manner in the past. I have xp pro and vista ultimate on my network here and would be only too willing to send you a copy of anything you may need from them.

I have plenty of spy ware and stuff but it did no good when I looked at the warning above the active X icon and I said, "It will be all right."

Wrong!

Yes, I still get virus and spyware every few years too. I just keep on adding stuff to take it off hopefully keepingit off longer will help me not stress as much over it when it happens. I'm not sure what the activeX warning is your mentioning..never had that.

You could try the following:

also this is available for dling on Mininova:

Windows Drivers CD For XP 2008

TYVM for the Intel Joker. Do you have any ideas for System Security?

I now have a Windows XP Hope Edition CD and will attempt to repair my faulty/missing system32 .dll files. Watch this space.

'Home' not 'Hope' - a Freudian slip pehaps?
