Two problems

[Josh_Ross]

I have to problems right now that i cant seem to figure out so if you could help me that would be great. First off when i hit CTRL+ALT+DEL Task Manager doesnt come up at all what can i do about that? and if any of you know anything about limewire pro mine keeps starting up after i shut it down, iv looked in the options nothing really popped out at me. If you have anything tha'd be cool, thanks

Hello Josh_Ross.Welcome to Techspot.

It sounds like you have spyware.Or "Limewire disease" as it`s known.

Go HERE follow the instructions then post an HJT log in the Security and the Web Forum

You might also look HERE for other Task Manager solutions.

Limewire does have a few settings relating to start up,in Tools/Options/Shutdown

and Tools/Advanced Options-System Startup or some such.

But as mentioned,spyware is the No.1 problem.Limewire disease can kill you

Josh_ross do you have a firewall/AV client? If not, download AVG and Kerio, just google them.

 

[Josh_Ross]

i think this is right

i will try out avg and the other one you suggested

 

[howard_hopkinso]

Go to add remove programmes in your control panel and uninstall Viewpoint.

Please rename the HijackThis.exe file to HijackThis1991.exe and post a fresh HJT log. This is because some malware can hide from HijackThis.exe, but not from HijackThis1991.exe.

Regards Howard
