Strider Posted April 9, 2006 Posted April 9, 2006 OK, I had limewire a few days ago and everytime i closed it it would automatically open up again, this got on my nerves so i deleted limewire. Then i realised that my task manager wouldnt open even when i try to open it using tool bar. ive done scans using ad-aware and norton (even in safe mode) and deleted everything thats come up, yet it stilll hasnt gone away. Also ive had alot of ads since this started happening "play poker online" "winfix" and ive also had more pop-ups than a life time of pop-up pirate. so Please would any of you help me sort it out because i dont know what to. Thanks in advance.
The Peeps Posted April 9, 2006 Posted April 9, 2006 Maybe reformat your pc? My friend had non-stop popups for about a month and couldn't sort it out so he reformatted, but if anyone has a simpler solution post it so I can laugh at my friend's unecessary efforts
Guest Jordan Posted April 9, 2006 Posted April 9, 2006 This could be easier than it seems to deal with. Try this program: http://www.softpedia.com/get/Tweak/System-Tweak/Starter.shtml Codestuff Starter, you can see what programs are running currently/start up and current processes. Delete and disable the ones you don't want to come back
Strider Posted April 9, 2006 Author Posted April 9, 2006 How do i know what to delete? I dont know what im doing to be honest. Heres some screen shots of processors if that helps, if you need anything else ill do it.
Guest Jordan Posted April 9, 2006 Posted April 9, 2006 Right clicking each item will allow you to look for it on google, delete or disable.
Strider Posted April 9, 2006 Author Posted April 9, 2006 One more question, what is winlog.exe? and should i delete it?
Guest Jordan Posted April 9, 2006 Posted April 9, 2006 errr.... http://www.liutilities.com/products/wintaskspro/processlibrary/winlog/ Should tell you.
Nintendork Posted April 9, 2006 Posted April 9, 2006 J00 illegalz0r. May I suggest BitTorrent over Limewire mate? Safer for your PC.
