Ron, You are known to be a careful and conscientious computer user and Internet citizen. I did not mean to besmearch your reputation in my general comments above. It can happen to the most careful of us. Be well, my friend. Doug

Hi Ron

Well, not going to insist, but rather give a firm advice to go visit the malware guys.

I quote:

I would like to seek help regarding a virus that i saw from my friend's pc, so heres the story. He formatted the said pc and installed drivers needed for it and copy pasted some programs from a flash drive. and then suddenly when he started to restart the pc a window appeared with a title "Data Execution Prevention" pointing to Windows Explorer, then a send error report pops out, and after this the internet becomes slow until it stops totally. We tried pressing Ctrl+Alt+Del and we saw a "Project1" in the applications tab being turned off and turned on, this project1 has an icon of a red devil smiley with 2 horns on its head. I was going to install a HJT on his pc tomorrow but i figured maybe i could get some help here before i do that. so if anyone is willing to help we'll be most certainly be glad because we really can't fix this problem

That devil smiley thing with horns, sounds a lot like your desktop looks

Besides, what you got to loose by having a checkup? On the contrary, you can win peace of mind and re-assurance, perhaps a clean machine too. I have always hated the idea, the couple of times I have experienced being infected, that someone out there eavesdropped on what I was doing. It was like having a burglar in the house, stealing everything right under my nose.

But as Doug said, your machine, your choice


Cheers Ron
