BillyVance 34 #1 March 10, 2007 Can anybody tell me how to make this fucking pop-up error message stop??? It keeps popping up, no matter what I do. FYI, this is not a joke email, it's serious, for once anyway!

Mr.Bill 0 #2 March 10, 2007 The last time I saw this there was a problem with Norton AntiVirus. See if you can find a fix from Symantec, or you could uninstall and reinstall your Norton AV. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BillyVance 34 #4 March 10, 2007 I have spysweeper and McAfee, but not Norton...

sundevil777 94 #5 March 10, 2007 I'm no expert, but it seemed like that was kinda common before I realized my 'puter was infected with viruses and spyware, the anti-everything software I thought would keep me safe wasn't worth shit. Best backup your stuff quick while you can, then clean that shit out with some experienced help. Good luck.People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired.

ypelchat 0 #7 March 10, 2007 QuoteI have spysweeper and McAfee, but not Norton... You may have to re-install McAfee, spysweeper, or both. Common. Can also happen when using long file names in RTF format(over 42c). Try to run Win update again. Look for security update 873333. If any doubts, go to microsoft knowledge base, and do a search. Also look for 894194. This can also be related to the DST Microsoft patch.... Hope this helps. Yves. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FYI, this is not a joke email, it's serious, for once anyway! What I would do at this point is run a Windows repair. That'll restore original windows files and will take care of a lot of spyware corruption. (this saves a lot of time compared to screwing around trying to figure out the issue(s). Then install all Windows updates, enable the Windows firewall, and don't use anti-spyware apps (they're al pretty useless)... just use a good antivirus prog such as free avast.com. Maybe try Windows Defender... I've heard mixed reviews of it... I think it's free though. How to run windows repair: Insert Windows CD into your optical drive. Reboot. Boot from the CD. You'll be presented with an option: Repair or do a fresh install.... choose install (not Repair). Keep going and after a couple more steps, you'll see a message "A previous installation of Windows has been found.. would you like to repair it?" Choose Yes at this point .. repair. From this point on it's straightforward. The key here is to ignore the first repair option, then choose yes for the second one (silly Microsoft logic) Chris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sundevil777 94 #10 March 10, 2007 How can you recommend to not use anti-spyware? When I run mine, it will find a few things every couple days. I wouldn't want those to pile up.People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired.

parachutist 1 #11 March 10, 2007 QuoteHow can you recommend to not use anti-spyware? When I run mine, it will find a few things every couple days. I wouldn't want those to pile up. Because IE7 has built-in phishing filter, and has better defense against spyware than IE6 did. The simple setup has been working for me... I've been running it for the last year with no issues. If you'd like additional spyware protection, you can still get Windows Defender from MS for free... it's fairly unobtrusive: http://www.microsoft.com/athome/security/spyware/software/default.mspx Chris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BillyVance 34 #12 March 10, 2007 Update: The problem seems to have miraculously fixed itself. Most likely Microsoft got the error messages and sent a fix. Ain't technology grand?
