I would assume the registry edit should still work in Vista, but don`t know for sure.

If it doesn`t, then I have no idea.

Hi howard, I usually download video from LimeWire from time to time, I want to ask are all of the videos from LimeWire free of spyware, virus, trojan?
Thanks
 
I wouldn`t touch Limewire with a barge pole. Does that answer your question.

My Window Vista is once again infected! A red icon suddenly appeared on the task bar which said the security center service is turned off, I've tried to turn it back on, but it said security center service can't be started. As I expected, the StopSign Threater Scanner has found one infected file:
c:\users\jing\appdata\local\temp\nsl8819.tmp <Tool.Prockill>, as shown, my computer is infected by a malware called "Tool.Prockill". I don't know if this malware had disable the security center service, please help me to remove it and other nasty stuffs you see hidden in my system. Thank you very much!

Howard, you aren't going to help me anymore? what's up with that?
 
You know, I really am very busy and I also have to sleep from time to time. I have much more important things to do, other than be at your beck and call.

The fact you keep getting your computer infected, shows a lack of common sense and security.

The Stopsign antivirus programme you have is absolute rubbish. I suggest you uninstall it and get a better antivirus programme.

Your log files appear to be clean.

Delete the following file.

c:\users\jing\appdata\local\temp\nsl8819.tmp

Go and read this thread HERE. It will show you how you can keep your system more secure.

My computer became worse! it was very slow when I tried to connect to other web page. I couldn't deleted the infected file because I couldn't located it, this malware appear to be hidden, just like last time.
I don't agree with you when you say Stopsign antivirus programme is a rubbish, obviously it pick up this malware which window defender and anti-spyware didn't. This tells me Stopsign antivirus programme is more reliable. You kept telling me my log files are clean, I doubt it.
 
Your log files are clean, but if you don`t believe me, feel free to go elsewhere.

The stopsign antivirus is rubbish compared to a lot of the other programmes available. You are of course entitled to you opinion, no matter how misguided it is.

Open notepad and copy/paste the text in the code box below into it:
NOTE* make sure to only highlight and copy what is inside the quote box nothing out side of it.
Also ..

Pay particular attention to this :-

Make sure the word File:: is on the first line of the text file you save (no blank line above it, & no space in front of it)
Code:


File::
c:\users\jing\appdata\local\temp\nsl8819.tmp

Save this as CFScript.txt

Then drag the CFScript.txt into ComboFix.exe as you see in the screenshot below.

CFScript.gif


This will start ComboFix again. After reboot, (in case it asks to reboot), post the contents of Combofix.txt in your next reply.
