  1. Glad you guys added it per my suggestion.
  2. You installed it when you installed Digsby (IM client). Just uninstall it via Addons.
  3. If you're getting CRC errors you don't want to run chkdsk. Read this article on Data Recovery and start backing up your media. It sounds like your hard drive is failing. Also, Microsoft would never say anything along the lines of, "oh well so sorry".
  4. Considering how heuristics are made to detect all kinds of new malware it makes perfect sense that recurring false positives occur. Many AV applications try to use new detection algorithms in order to stay ahead. They change all the time and as such they can often detect some legit files falsely. They really don't have much control over it but will try to fix things as soon as possible. You can even see it with MBAM and how it has had false positives before. Bruce quickly corrects them as does Marcin, but they can still recur. So are you saying that once they fix the issues, despite advancing the technology of MBAM it should never happen again and as such you are also criticizing the dynamic duo?
  5. Oh please. Overreact much? It's a false positive and it's not the first time a company has made a false positive. Both jotti and VirusTotal report it's clean. Doesn't take long to check into these things.
  6. Sounds like a permission problem.
  7. Oh yes, because the people who designed the software and services are going to tell their users to disable them or alter the default settings. The above is obvious sarcasm.
  8. You never want to mess with the services unless instructed by an experienced technician. Disabling or altering the services puts you at risk for many ill effects. It's all a myth that people think really makes a change. Bottom line, leave them alone. There's a lot of myths that have been debunked, check out this list of known myths. Never disable or turn off System Restore either, it does valuable things such as making full registry backups and more.
  9. The code I provided above is all you need to reinstall Windows Defrag. And yes, it is a comma. You can als use Dial-a-fix to reinstall defrag. It's in the Tools section.
  10. Enter this code into your Run box: rundll32.exe setupapi,InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 132 C:\WINDOWS\inf\dfrg.infNext register the following DLLs: regsvr32 dfrgsnap.dllregsvr32 dfrgui.dll
  11. Yarr, methinks we be dealin' with a pirate here, mateys!
  12. Reset IE7's settings, you may be set to run through a proxy.
  13. Could do like most other anti-malware products, ask the user if they want to keep them or not. Leftovers on uninstalls are bad.
  14. Thinking out loud: Uninstall MBAM. Reboot. Run CCleaner and it's Issues cleaner until it tells you no issues found. Reboot and repeat step 3. Reboot and now install MBAM.
  15. vbalsgrid6.ocx is a third party component. It is not part of the MS VB6 runtimes. Reinstalling MBAM will put the file back and re-register it as well which should resolve the issue.
  16. I'm not getting errors here on IE7 or Fx3. Nor on any site that uses that type of Google Analytic code.
  17. I would not recommend using the Hosts file for blocking malware or advertisements. There's plenty of programs available that set up proper blocking like SpywareBlaster, IESpyAds, and even Spybot's Immunize.
  18. It would be wise to update this page with more information about those restrictions. Even the online store and EULA don't tell much about a tech license. In fact, I never knew about a tech license until I read your post since the store doesn't list anything about it either.
  19. Yeah automatically showing the results (or even show found items while scanning!) would be great.
  20. I fail to see what is so difficult to understand, the concept is very simple. He is a type of network administrator/technician who is running scans on approximately 200+ computers. Having to manually go from one computer to the next to start the scan Upon completion you have to manually go through and click to remove anything, if found, and then close the application. This is extremely time consuming for network technicians. Look at CCleaner. It has a /AUTO switch which allows the program to run and clean your drive automatically, even an optional setting to close the program when complete. What Greg is asking for is similar to that. A type of automation to run the scans, remove/quarantine the malware, generate the log and then close the program. It's very simple. Nice suggestion, Greg!
  21. Glad to hear you enjoyed this software Jeremy. I agree that it does an excellent job.
  22. Hi conrad, Please download my Anti-Malware Toolkit and get the Professional package. If you need help with the programs you can view the PC Cleanup guide which will help you configure the programs so you can get the most cleanup possible. When you've gone through all the steps please post a HijackThis log.
  23. You can read my article about PC Security
  24. I just recently read about 1&1 and how some hate their service. Link
  25. O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [indxStoreSvr_{79662E04-7C6C-4d9f-84C7-88D8A56B10AA}] "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Nero\Lib\NMIndexStoreSvr.exe" ASO-616B5711-6DAE-4795-A05F-39A1E5104020 I'd say repair/reinstall Nero, then run a sfc /scannow
