I'm not an expert but I conquered this annoying crap. First you must close all windows
you have open, then you must go to your desktop and right click the 'my computer
icon', this will bring up a menu, choose explore and left click on it. A window
will open allowing you to see all files on your computer. Go to the main hard drive
on left side of the screen (usually c drive) and click the little + symbol then scroll
down and click the + next to the windows folder and then finally scroll down and
click on the system folder thus displaying all the files in the c:\windows\system
folder. You sound like you have already seen the pathetic little icon they use for
their file names, the wishy washy little box with the wishy washy little blue top
that's on an angle. Start at the top and scroll down through this long list of files
and search for that pathetic little icon. Have a pen and paper ready to jot down
only at this time the names of these files as it will not let you (as you know) delete
them at this time. Some of the names that I found were bamev.exe, porders.exe, p_852c.exe,
pup.exe, over.exe, liconfgc.exe. Once you have scrolled the whole list and wrote
down every little sucker with that pathetic little icon then go back and double check!
because if you miss just one it will mutate into more suckers!!
Ok once you have your list restart your computer in safe mode (to do this on mine
I had to shut down, turn it back on and then continue to press F5 and F8 rapidly
until the computer beeped! but you may have an easier and friendlier way to do this)
Once in safe mode click on the start button and choose run from the menu. In the
box type msconfig and click ok. A window will appear. Click on the startup tab,
this will display a list of all the .exe programs the computer would run at a normal
startup but because you started in safe mode it has not loaded them this time. Click
on the tick next to the names of every one of those b##stard file names you have
on your list that you created making sure the box becomes unticked. Check to make
sure that there aren't any more in the list. {If a file looks suspicious to you
especially if it's location is just c:\windows\system then double check the properites
of the file. To do this go to the start button and click on it and choose search:file
or folders, type in the name of the file in the search for field and click search
now. When the computer find this file it is displayed in the right hand side of
the screen. Right click on the file and choose properties from the list, this will
bring up a window. At the top of this window there will be a general tab and a version
tab, click on the version tab. Click on the wording 'company name' in the white
box at the bottom left of the screen, if it says totempole or werule then you know
it is one of those pathetic bas#tards.} Ok back to the first screen (msconfig) you
were working on, click the button down the right at the bottom that says 'cleanup'.
Then just leave that open for the moment.
Go back to your desktop and right click on the my computer icon again and again choose
explore from the menu just like you did before shutting down your computer. Go back
into the c:\window\system folder to once again display the list of files there.
This time when you find those pathetic b##stards highlight them (DO NOT CLICK ON
THEM WHATEVER YOU DO!!!!!) just highlight them by hovering the mouse over them one
at a time and then hit delete on your keyboard. A window will open asking you are
you sure you want to delete the file, check that it is the right file on your list
and choose yes. After you have gone through the list 3 times to be sure you got
all the suckers go to your recycle bin and take out the garbage!!
Ok now you can close this window you have been working in and you can go back to
the system configuration window from before. You can now click on the ok button.
It will then ask you to reboot your computer, click ok. If you have deleted everyone
of those little ba#tards this annoying crap should be off your computer now and you
can once again enjoy your internet. I highly recommend installing firewall software,
you can obtain these for free off the net.
I hope I have explained this so that you can understand, it took me 3 nights to work
out how to beat this bastar#, I am just a mother of two but I conquered it and so
can you!
Cheers
Nancy
