Addendum re: dual hijacking worms Thursday, October 14, 2004 at 2:24 pm Windows Me Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Ms. Eagle (32573 messages posted) I forgot to say, you should clear out all your temp folders to get rid of any junk hiding in there, before running a virus scan. Go into Internet Options - delete TIF and choose 'delete all Offline content'. Also, to get rid of unnecessary ActiveX Controls: Choose - View Objects - choose View Details on the toolbar. If any are marked "unknown" or "damaged", remove them. Remove any you don't recognize or no longer need. Empty C:\Windows\temp folder and C:\temp folder, if you have one. Note: Some temp files may currently be in use, until the next reboot. XP-> C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Temp (for all users). Empty Recycle bin. Disable system restore to clear out previous restore points. Then RE-enable it, if you choose, "after" your system's cleaned up.
