Hi Satchfan,
Sorry I've been gone the past couple weeks. I have been using my work computer but I still need to fix my computer. Can you still help me? It seems like I've done so much and I still have the same problem. I can do browsing, use search engines, and shop, but when I need to sign into anything, it won't let me. I either get errors from the site itself or it get redirected to another log-in page.
I picked up where we left off…
1. The eset scan is not opening up anymore. Maybe I'm using the wrong site. I clicked on the link you provided in a past reply, and once I click to download, I "accept the terms" and nothing happens.
2. The Flush dns returns a "this operation requires elevation"; whatever that means, i don't know, but I didn't get a successful flush.
3. I uninstalled Limewire
What next?
I REALLY REALLY appreciate any help you can give, I haven't given up and I won't. This hP is only 2 years old. What remedy do you suggest in order to keep my computer protected from all viruses?
DO NOT use any TOOLS such as Combofix or HijackThis fixes without supervision.
Doing so could make your pc inoperatible and could require a full reinstall of your OS, losing all your programs and data.
Vista and Windows 7 users: 1. These tools MUST be run from the executable. (.exe) every time you run them
2. With Admin Rights (Right click, choose "Run as Administrator")
