Hi

My computer is attacking websites that I visit so I downloaded the trial version with a view to purchasing the full version if it finds anything. It was set up to do a complete scan and found a few things... but if I get the tool to delete these things does it mean they are completely gone from my system even though I currently use only the trial version?

The tool has found in two jpgs that it reported have ADS Hidden Stream Detected. Where do I go from those being detected? Do I just delete them?

I am not an expert user so would greatly appreciate any help/advice you can offer. If you want screen shots etc.. please just let me know and I'll do them.

Thanks!

Hi Maggz welcome to te forum,
It is a bit unclear to me what the problem really is but we start at the beginning.
Do you think there is any Web traffic you don't think it is legitimate

Hi Dolf

Firstly Thanks for the welcome.

What seems to be happening is that when I visit a website frequently my computer appears to start attacking the site itself. We've got a hardware firewall which does appear to stop any attacks but it does report that my machine is doing this. I'm not the experienced technical user unfortunately - he's asleep at the moment! I posted because the scan hasnt long finished, I can't sleep at the moment and those two files are bothering me!

:-)

Hi Maggz
I'm still confused what you mean by you are attacking another website.
please give some more details. We will figure this out ;)

Ok, while trying to generate a picture, TDS let me down :-X
All I got was this:

Yeah, I did manage to get a picture from the help-file.
It seems that it is showing only when it catches something life running in memory (pretty hard to simulate)
