I've never heard of a virus attached to a JPG Algi You would be horrified to find out just what can be contained in a JPG file. But, in this case, it is "unlikely". I had a similar problem a few months back, went through all the usual routines of removing all the accumulated junk and de-fraggi...

If you truly believe you have been hit with a virus, the only secure way to clean it up is to reformat and reinstall the OS. No need for new hard drive. ** Do not trust anyone who simply states that they can run a program to clean the virus out for you, and not suggest reformatting the machine...

Firstly, I wouldn't panic until you "know" you have a virus - you say in your opening line that you "think" you do - before taking drastic steps it's best to know thine enemy, as it were. Secondly - I've seen 3 machines in the past month that were "working fine until I put g**gle chrome on it". I...

I understand there's a huge selection of Patches coming on Tuesday from M$S My PC Lappy will be dealt with when I come back from France - and it's done by a mate using LogMeIn since I don't use M$S or PCs - this lappy is kept for my daughter #1 so she can log into work. That machine was used ...

It's almost immaterial if it says you are free of any virus and your PC still doesn't work correctly :) What matters is getting the PC back to life and this seems a good first step. Mike

I second aliengrove's suggestion and would comment that after my 4 day fight with my infection Norton was still dealing with threats for a few days after that. So I think using some high quality AV software is definitely the thing to do and I suspect Kaspersky will report the odd incident as the inf...

As most of the "worms" were attached to your browser history they will have been adware, which although a nuisance are not malicious in themselves. They basically monitor your browsing history so you can be targeted with ads, normally pop-ups which are easy to block. I would suspect you only had one...

All AV software generates far too many false positives which is why I posted the link to Jotti earlier in this thread http://virusscan.jotti.org People have trial posted Windows Notepad.exe there and a lot of the virus scanners reported it as infected when it wasn't. A lot of the stuff you've had f...

aliengrove, Regardless of your first two statements being 100% false, out of respect and in an attempt to give you some credit I did go back and re-read anyway. Sounds like your days in computing go back as far as mine with similar backgrounds. (I made no prior assumptions to your abilities, In fac...

Amoringello, I tend to have quite a lot of software on my computer, and it can be very difficult to re-install, and always extremely time-consuming. Provided I have a back-up, it makes more sense NOT to start again from scratch. This way I save a huge amount of time with a small risk (and it ...

3. To make your computer 100% safe; format your hard drive, disconnect the computer from the wall, smash it into a million pieces, and burry it in the back yard six feet deep in an acrylic block. :twisted: :twisted: Nope, just run a live distro CD of Linux. PCLinuxOS, Ubuntu, OpenSuse. Browse w...

cheap CPL?
thx for that. will have a proper look at the article. It just seems a bit tricky to compare a £80 filter with a £6.75 filter! I bought a basic Hoya CPL filter a few years back and it broke after probably 3 days of use, I am guessing this wouldnt happen with the higher range though. It's the same d...
