Yep spyware for sure...

The latest Norton AV and McAfee AV programs detect spyware fairly well, however, if its already infected your pc you may need to do a virus scan in safe mode.

Alternatively:
If you go and download "HiJackThis" and dump your log file into this thread I can probably tell you which processes and registry entries to give the flick

Rob, I'm starting to think that Mac users do something wrong when they use PCs since they seem to be the only people that screw up PCs... Smile
Plus, you realise that modern Macs are just another brand of PC? Everything else is the same, SDRAM, PCI and AGP slots. It's not like the old days when Amigas, Apples, and IBM Compatibles ran different hardware.

Which makes our silly little arguements even more funny. heehe

though, I would like to suggest, based on the history of the personal computer, that PCs are another brand of Mac, dare I contaminate the Mac purity by saying such.. Very Happy

Maybe I shoud say the half brother. The contaminated breed... rofl... Laughing Ok, laughing to myself here. That's a bad thing.

I worked above the ANU Apple Centre for a year and I can tell you that I saw many Macs being taken in for servicing every day too. Smile
Things will break. Macs are just another brand of PC (WRT hardware). It's just the quality of the brands that differ much.

Yeah, use Netscape instead. Less standards-compliant, crashes heaps more often, and uses system resources like nothing else! Woohoo!!

WAY more standards compliant.
Much more modern (did someone say pop up blocker?)
Much more stable than IE.
And is lean, mean, and FAST!

Mozilla > lynx > Mosaic > IE

My Mum uses Mozilla (the big brother of Firefox) without any problems.
It's safer that way, no popups, I can block ads, and no stupid stuff like executing VBScript.

Les wrote on Fri, 07 May 2004 13:43

can i copy bookmarks across or not ?


Yes


Oh, and tabbed browsing rocks!! Much less confusing for my Mum... Middle-click, middle-click, middle-click... No need to deal with billions of windows (which she doesn't handle very well, she has enough trouble double-clicking).

And if you want to emulate IE, there's even an IE theme that makes it look like IE. But that would be sacrelige and I'd kill you and your family if you did that.... Razz

Oh, and you want extensions...
http://texturizer.net/firefox/extensions/

Especially these:
http://texturizer.net/firefox/extensions/#tbe
Excellent extensions to tab browsing including saving of a session when you quit, so that when you open up Firefox again, all the tabs get loaded up again.

http://texturizer.net/firefox/extensions/#ieview
In case you hit a page that is written only for IE.

And for anyone doing web development work, this is THE BEST THING SINCE THE WHEEL!

yep! - they sure do all the time - well mine does Cool

and don't forget Safari (with it's open source heritage in KDE's konqueror) is also a very stable browser on OS X.

but if you want to stick to your under-engineered intel hardware, get the current Fedora release of Linux, format your local hard drive(s), run a stable, fast, *nix operating system, get access to lots of free, open-source software packages (including open office, numerous browsers, thousands of utilities and tools, etc) and then have very infrequent security/virus problems. Cool Laughing

Those two are the same thing and are related to the CPU. AMD Athlons as well as Intel Pentium Ms run at much lower speeds to get better performance. I could write a big essay about pipelines and MHz...
