« on: April 01, 2007, 11:24:08 AM »
how can i get rid of this? AVG anti-apyware detects this every startup of XP ( i have avast and avg activated.... both resident shield were activated)

and one problem of my PC is, it freezes after several minuites of browsing(DSL connection)

i've cleaned my PC with spybot search and destro, i have spyblaster, avast and AVG anti-spyware..

any ideas?

my errors on my PC are:

1.can't view images( i need to open width it with MS paint to view)
2. after several time, i can't play any media files, capable of playing videos, but no audio data.
3. firefox or ie crashes after several times,(you need to open again those browsers.

Symptoms are advertising pop-ups.

The other symptoms you describe may be the result of a FUBAR'ed system, unfortunately.

there are no pop ups...

i've tried to removed all vundo virus, and i'm waiting if my PC still freezes after several minutes...

The other symptoms you describe may be the result of a FUBAR'ed system, unfortunately.

is there any solution for this?

You could try a registry scan with TuneUp Utilities and see if that helps:

(Working free trial.)

If that fails you could try to repair XP:

Or backup your files and use the recovery disc supplied with the computer. (Or the recovery partition in more modern computers.)
