if i remember right my explorer file was infected with some trojan virus and now it keeps crashing after every second post, i start typing message and it just crashes - "illegal operation" messagge... and i think something eats all the memory after a while?? is there anything other beside reformating i could try? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i think this only happens if i try and write something...if im just browsing it seems to be ok!? |
||||||||

Have you tried scanning with Spybot? Hey, aren't you the guy with like a terabyte of icons and files and shit on the desktop? Sometimes that is not good and slows things down and fucks everything up. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes, it's a mess here, im that one... i tried spybot and it fixes most of it but there are still some unfixed files remaining - and i get this notice that i have to restart computer and run spybot again, and well, still can't fix those...im going to keep it cleaner when i format it next time...but i don't feel like doing that just yet :( |

Honestly, you wouldn't find yourself in this mess if you stopped using IE and stopped installing crapware that comes with adware and trojans. Mainly though, stop using IE! Thunderbird and Mozilla are simply better. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Let me give you an example: I cleared a client's computer of adware, and two days later it was back, because she had no idea simply visiting some websites would install shit behind her back. That's what happens when you use IE! |
||||||||

spybot and adaware dont always do good. sometimes they remove files they think are harmful, but really arent. that right there could be your problem. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hmm, thank you both...im downloading mozilla now...i hpe this works :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Horseshit. Sometimes by removing adware, the shit sofware the adware rode in on will stop working. But I've never known them to remove Windows system files. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh yeah buddy. adaware is an evil bastard. spybot is ok. but adaware removes .dll files when it aint supposed to. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
not always of course. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
If you need any help configuring plugins and stuff check out, or ask here... plenty of Mozilla users at Xltronic. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Really? I'm surprised... then again I mostly use Spybot. What files did it remove? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it was for this VPN dialer program i have to use at work. i couldnt even uninstall it properly. massive headache. i'm not the only one its happened to though. personally though, i think spybot AND adaware are adware themselves. |
||||||||
|

|
|
cool, im runing mozilla now, so far so good... it loads kind of slow tho... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, that's because they aren't Microsoft so they don't have the privilege of loading most of the browser components when Windows loads... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i see...it haven't crashed so far, so perhaps this will work :) |
||||||||
|

Try hitting ctrl-T :D If your mouse has a middle button (or a wheel) you can set it to open a link in a new tab. When your first ad-popup comes along you will be given the choice to block popups forever. Or you can go into edit -> preferences and set it yourself. |
||||||||

|
You'll probably want to install at least Sun's Java plugin, and also Flash... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
Just get a Sega Dreamcast and browse the 'net with that. You'll never have to deal with spyware or temporary files or popups or anything. |
||||||||
|

|
|
thanks a lot! i'll definitely try those and get to know this better tomorrow, it's getting kind of late 2.30 am... anyway, it would be nice to see in the morning when i wake up that it haven't crashed, tho that might have nothing to do with explorer... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hmm, i'd rather keep it simple :) i have no idea what that is.... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
now i keep getting this pop up: ie is not currently your default browser.would you like to make it your defult browder? what do i do to disable this? |
||||||||

Click no, but first there should be a checkbox you can tick or untick to make it stop bugging you. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
aha control panel, internet options, programs - there's a tickbox you can toggle there to make it stop checking. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
WHAT?! you dont know what a dreamcast is?!! only the best video game console EVER! |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
