Hi,

Are you referring to the CKFiles.txt?

Search for it using windows explorer. It may have saved to a different location.

Have you noticed you hear this voice when you are using "Aim"?

It could be a sign off from one of your contacts?

Do you use a custom screensaver?

Please run this following program.

Scan with SuperAntiSpyware

SAS, may take a long time to scan

Please download and scan with SUPERAntiSpyware Free
  • Double-click SUPERAntiSypware.exe and use the default settings for installation.
  • An icon will be created on your desktop. Double-click that icon to launch the program.
  • If asked to update the program definitions, click "Yes". If not, update the definitions before scanning by selecting "Check for Updates". (If you encounter any problems while downloading the updates, manually download them from here. Double-click on the hyperlink for Download Installer and save SASDEFINITIONS.EXE to your desktop. Then double-click on SASDEFINITIONS.EXE to install the definitions.)
  • In the Main Menu, click the Preferences... button.
  • Click the "General and Startup" tab, and under Start-up Options, make sure "Start SUPERAntiSpyware when Windows starts" box is unchecked.
  • Click the "Scanning Control" tab, and under Scanner Options, make sure the following are checked (leave all others unchecked):
    • Close browsers before scanning.
    • Scan for tracking cookies.
    • Terminate memory threats before quarantining.
  • Click the "Close" button to leave the control center screen and exit the program.
  • Do not run a scan just yet.
    First
Reboot your computer in "Safe Mode" using the F8 method. To do this, restart your computer and after hearing your computer beep once during startup (but before the Windows icon appears) press the F8 key repeatedly. A menu will appear with several options. Use the arrow keys to navigate and select the option to run Windows in "Safe Mode".

Scan with SUPERAntiSpyware as follows:
  • Launch the program and back on the main screen, under "Scan for Harmful Software" click Scan your computer.
  • On the left, make sure you check C:\Fixed Drive.
  • On the right, under "Complete Scan", choose Perform Complete Scan and click "Next".
  • After the scan is complete, a Scan Summary box will appear with potentially harmful items that were detected. Click "OK".
  • Make sure everything has a checkmark next to it and click "Next".
  • A notification will appear that "Quarantine and Removal is Complete". Click "OK" and then click the "Finish" button to return to the main menu.
  • If asked if you want to reboot, click "Yes" and reboot normally.
  • To retrieve the removal information after reboot, launch SUPERAntispyware again.
    • Click Preferences, then click the Statistics/Logs tab.
    • Under Scanner Logs, double-click SUPERAntiSpyware Scan Log.
    • If there are several logs, click the current dated log and press View log. A text file will open in your default text editor.
    • Please copy and paste the Scan Log results in your next reply.
  • Click Close to exit the program.


Note.. SAS doesn't open the registry hives for other user accounts on the system, so scans should be done from each user account.

ok. So I did everything you tell me and I go into safe mode (I didn't know my mouse setting would change, cause my mouse is broken, I can only right click, but i switched it so it left clicks, but not in safe mode, so I tabbed and entered everything ^O^) I started the scan, and my computer shut off. I turned it back on and into safe mode and scan again, and my computer shut off again. ><;;;...It was scanning like registry files then ><;; Do you want the log? NVM..there is no log ><;;

I did it in normal, and i wait like 40 minutes and it turned up 87 tracing cookies, but then I left the room, came back, and my computer was off. I turned it on to run normal, and in like 15 seconds it turned off. turned it back on to run the windows repair and before it could load the files, it turned off. I turned it on again to run safe mode, and it turned off, and I tried one more time, and it did it again. I waited 2 minutes and then unplugged my power cord, internet cord, and I turned it on and here I am ><;;; I was finna cry..omg sad.gif ....It never finished ><;;

I'm thinking this was an adware cookie that was on your system causing this, so lets clean out all your cookies and java cache


Please download ATF Cleaner by Atribune.

Double-click ATF-Cleaner.exe to run the program.
Under Main choose: Select All
Click the Empty Selected button.

f you use Firefox browser
Click Firefox at the top and choose: Select All
Click the Empty Selected button.
NOTE: If you would like to keep your saved passwords, please click No at the prompt.
If you use Opera browser
Click Opera at the top and choose: Select All
Click the Empty Selected button.
NOTE: If you would like to keep your saved passwords, please click No at the prompt.
Click Exit on the Main menu to close the program.

It's normal after running ATF cleaner that the PC will be slower to boot the first time.


Please use you computer normally for a couple of days to see if this occurs again. If is does please try and write down exactly what you were doing at the time, what web site you were visiting if you were on line, or what program you were using at the time.

my comp just turned off on me..just now...umm..I was only playing the sims. My internet wasnt open and I wasnt on an insant messaging. I did do that thing earlier.
Could your comp turn off if its too hot? or id it possible from my power cord to short circut it somehow? Cuz if i unplug my powercord, internet cord, and my fan usb cord and turn it on, it does not turn off again ><;; (as in those first 30 seconds of rebooting)..I plug them back in after the computer fully reboots.

Well I think thats what it could have been.
I do leave m computer on like 6 hours a night cause I listen to music when i sleep and I woke up this morning and it was off.
But I look at my usb fan,,,and it wasnt on. The other side of my usb was not in all the way, so hopefully that was the problem ><;;
Cause I usually am always on my comp and it has never done that to me, but I think twice, but they werent close enough to actually think it was a problem ><
I have only had it since December.
Are there any other ways to keepp your laptop cool? I have an HP and they get really hot.

There are lap top bases with fans in them, and a good clean out of dust and debris helps, but unless you live in a very dudty environment, it shouldn't be too bad if it's less than a year old.

Once we are sure the malware is gone, you can start a thread in our tech forum and let the techs give you more advise on that.

Have you had any further issues with the random voice.
