Elise Posted July 4, 2011 ID:449093 Share Posted July 4, 2011 Then please download TweakUI and install/run it.Click "Control Panel" in the left panel. In the right pane you can see the names of all Control Panel files as well as their descriptions. Uncheck or check Control Panel icons as desired to hide / show them in the Control Panel. Press "OK" when done.If it is not clear which item you need to disable, try them one at a time and verify after every try the Control Panel to see if RedSwoosh is gone.

irritated2011 Posted July 4, 2011 Author ID:449222 Share Posted July 4, 2011 Okay. That was easy. The Red Swoosh Icon is gone from my control panel. Should I be worried about the other artifacts from it? I see that it, and a bunch of games, and some other p2p programs are listed in the 'exceptions' section of firewall security. Should I worry?Thank you for all of your help. Doug Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elise Posted July 4, 2011 ID:449334 Share Posted July 4, 2011 Hi Doug, no these are all in an older ControlSet, which means they are in a part of the registry that is not used by Windows and that will be overwritten after a few reboots. The ports in the active Controlset were already disabled.No need to worry about RedSwoosh components; although the uninstall did a sloppy job, these leftovers really pose no harm.Please let me know if you have any problem/question left.

irritated2011 Posted July 5, 2011 Author ID:449628 Share Posted July 5, 2011 Thank you for taking the time to address all my concerns. My virus scans are coming out clean and things seem okay, but there are a lot of uneplained delays and failures to load in Internet Explorer. I "reset" the options which might have been a mistake...

Elise Posted July 5, 2011 ID:449650 Share Posted July 5, 2011 No, a reset can often help sorting out problems with the browser. Are you using only Internet explorer or also an alternative browser like Firefox or Chrome? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
irritated2011 Posted July 6, 2011 Author ID:450145 Share Posted July 6, 2011 I only use IE, but I have Mozella installed. I did install some security updates yesterday and the Microsoft update site found that I had disabled active-x controls. I seemed to have less problems after that.Avira guard apparently found a virus trying to activate itself (or maybe it was activated by Malwarebytes scanning). Anyway I got this message from Avira but Malwarebytes didn't find anything on the over-night scan: Virus or unwanted program 'JAVA/Tharra.A [virus]'detected in file 'C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Application Data\Sun\Java\Deployment\cache\6.0\33\7d358f61-76b4954a.Action performed: Deny accessIt is now in quarantine.What part of the World are you in? I'm in California. - Doug Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elise Posted July 7, 2011 ID:450473 Share Posted July 7, 2011 Hi Doug, that may indeed explain the problems in Internet Explorer. That avira detection is just a Java cache object and nothing to worry about.What part of the World are you in? I'm in California.I live in Romania (which is a country in Eastern Europe), although I am Dutch. Do you have any other question/problem? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
irritated2011 Posted July 7, 2011 Author ID:450674 Share Posted July 7, 2011 I expect that the Fourth of July isn't a big deal in Romania.Thank you very much for your extensive help. There do seem to be some excessive delays in response and loading in IE, but everything else seems to be clean. Doug Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
