My aunt recently put her USB in my PC. After a few minutes, I found this suspicious looking file called Explorer. I clicked Scan with AVG and Yes it was a virus called I-Worm/VB.GG. Then again, I explored and found this suspicious looking file called New Folder. I scanned and clicked Scan with AVG. Again, it was I-Worm/VB.GG. Now, I know that the two viruses in my aunt's USB were lost. Then, I scanned the system areas using AVG. It said WARNING! System change. It was of kernel32.dll . I just clicked confirm changes. Is I-WORM already permanently deleted? Was the system change in System 32 a sign of a virus. Some sez it was just the cause of windows update..... Help.. thnx!

Good morning guys, Since the past 3 months or so that I have been on the net I have been getting emails from people trying to make themselves look as banks etc.
The one I keep getting even after always deleting is the Nationwide Building society asking for me to confirm my details or my account will be stopped, I had 3 similar ones this morning and I deleted them all in my bulk folder.

I notice that I don't have the option of spamming it in bulk folder.
I am using Bt internet along with yahoo mail, Can anyone help please.

It seems to be different from Pocket PC but I'm not sure exactly how. They say on the MS website that Windows Mobile 2003 has "high encryption" but do not explain exactly what it means. Can't see any options in the menus.

They pop up when I'm not connected and my current popup blockers and spyware removers can't get rid of them. Where can I find a good free one to try before I buy? I tried downloads.com but nothing good.

I would like to implement windows authentication and don't know how to. I know I need a web.config file but don't know what needs to go into it. If you could explain to me step by step what needs to go in the web.config and what needs to configured in IIS i would greatly appreciate it. I will be using Microsoft Frontpage and a Windows 2000 server to store my pages. This will be a static website and very simple content but I would like our links page to locked down to only authorized users. Meaning if you aren't in our users group you will not have access to the links page.

No goofball answers please, this is very serious. The man in Idaho accused of murdering the two children's family and kidnapping them, ultimately killing the little boy, has video evidence of his assaults on those children encrypted on his computer. He has bragged he has it covered so deep it would take them 30 years to break it. The prosecutor so far has not been able to access the files. Do you have the true expertise to offer to help break his encryption coding? If so please post a way to contact you and I will forward all volunteers to the proper authorities. He cannot be allowed to get away with murdering 4 people and destroying a family!! THANK YOU!!

i ran it yesterday. it said a bunch of cookie stuff was spyware so im like "then delete it" and then these little "x"s poped up beside each program it said was spyware so then when they all have "x"s i press the little "x" at the top of the page and leave. so is the spyware, if there was spyware in the first place, that my dad probably installed on my laptop gone now?
