8)Well thanks alot...makes a guy feel welcome ;). Got hit with a variant of the f-Bagle worm yesterday & this morning when my A/V ran on schedule, it found a Trojan named JS/Psyme :[.Sure makes me go crazy, shutting down System Restore, dumped ALLtemp files, cookies, cleaned my cache, cleared my history & ran Adaware. I'm supposedlyrunning a clean machine now, but have noticed a heavy CPU load, and crappy networking. Ahh, but what are pc's for? lol. Next machine will be a Mac. Thanks again if anyone has any suggestions that doesn't inlude editing the registry let me know, please? One Love --- bongo -

Ah the joys of running Windows. I'm afraid the only thing that can "guarantee" that you're running a clean machine is to FORMAT C: :)
But seriously, you'll need to reinstall Windows from scratch without being connected to the net. Then, put your machine behind a router and/or install and run firewall software before you connect to the net for any software updates. -

Thanks "freakin". I've been pretty aware my machine really needs a brand new, fresh install of Windows (especially IE). I've got firewall software, but found it such a hinderance at the time. :( Plus I had Norton Works, but the pkg was a %$!&* on resources too. Comcast gave me a free McAfee firewall subscrption, cuz right now the only firewall I'm using is the one on the NIC card. Know what I mean? :? I finally found 5 floppies & have a couple CD-RW's & prior to the worms had copied my phonebook. So I'm pretty good as far as what the hell I want to save from this config. Maybe my "bookmarks", a resume'..? I'm not real good at this stuff especially editing the register. Did it once using a RPC with a pal o mine in NYC, I'm in Chicago now. AND you're right, I may have to reformat C. I'll take out my books again & see if I want to go thru this again, or start on my next upgrade :lol: My GF4 ti 4600 128MB card just ain't doin it for some of the newer games. Looking at prices on Nvidia's latest card, I've heaard they've got a 512MB RAM almost done. Thanks again, your pal, bongo
