I have run adaware on my computer. it did a great job of detecting spyware and getting rid of it. originally I would look up web sites and this incidious program was redirecting me to other web sites mostly hard core porn. I installed adaware and it got rid of everything I thought but I tried going to web sites again and the same thing happened and i ran adaware again and the same 2 programs had reappeared. something is hiding in my files that adaware cannot detect..Any suggestions what this incidious program could be and how in the world do I root it out of my system.

My computer is automatically Duplicating Files on my Hard Drive. It seems to be copying files from one drive to another including folders. It is dropping them in random folders. My hard drive is increasing by about 200 files per hour. The odd thing is all files that are duplicated are not actual copies they just have the same name and extension and are all exactly 140 bytes. The file looks normal in the icon but does not open. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

I’d like to mess up my computer. I’ve got windows XP and the administrators account. The problem is, Norton’s is insane. The other administrator account is in control of Norton’s. I need a virus or something lethal that would make it necessary to reinstall windows, without being able to salvage anything…maybe something that deletes all the files, gets rid of the internet (its running internet explorer, doesn't the winnet.dll...idk), deletes drivers, etc…any suggestions? If your answer sounds anything like, “don’t bother,” or, “wouldn’t recommend,” just don’t answer.

My computer has a page pop up instead of my homepage that says I've been infected w/ w32.Myzor.Fk@yf and also Win3?MT.RS. There is a small yellow warning triangle in bottom right hand corner and a million antispyware/virus/scan ads. I've done research, but it all different opinions and is all confusing. I don't know much, but need simplistic help. My internet browser pages crash about every 3/4 mins. Some sites say it isn't a virus, etc., but a "rogue antispyware program that doesn't really exist." Help...please.

I keep getting a message fro Windows Explorers saying it encountered a problem and the program needs to close. It is the Error Reporting popup, and when i try accesing a folder containing a video file of some type (*.avi mostly) I get the message. I think I may know how to do it by going to Control Panel>Administrator Tools (I'm running Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005, by the way), but I'd like to still be able to repot things... This usualy happens in a folder with a file recorded by HyperCam, or an incomplete file from LimeWire (also, I could acces the files before, to preview a certain movie I was downloading, etc., but for a short time), and NO, it is not because the file is infected or has a virus. All Help appreciated.

Ever since I discovered my wireless network was being pirated, I've been searching high and low for a way to make the network secure.
I have tried making the access restricted to only the MAC numbers on my roommate's and my computers. However, when my computer can log on, hers won't..and vice versa.
I've tried setting up a password using the router's ftp--didn't get a password prompt. Tried turning off the SSID, but then my comp wouldn't recognize the network.
Can someone please help? And please dumb it down as much as possible because I'm not a tech-head when it comes to computers.
PS My router is a Netgear.
