    oh Gawd , i don`t know where to start - "at the beginning you fool" , i hear you cry :p ok then <you sitting comfortably> then i shall begin

    Tried to set-up a web-site (a free one) McAfee comes up with warning W32/NetSky.b@mm - i click delete (like any normal person would) no problem for the rest of the time on my pc that night .... Next morning i think - i know , i`ll run my Trojan "hunt & destroy" thingy majig :p 93% of my PC Scanned , no problems found but it crashes (deep joy) so i reboot , gets to the final bit of loading-up - McAfee comes up with warning i had the previous night - so i finks "i`ve got nowt on for the next couple of hours , i`ll do a Full Scan" less than a minute in it`s finding this trojan ( NetSky) it sempt to be associated with every god`damn file - i`m clicking the delete button like a Good`un at this point .... it crashes "flippin eck" i say . I reboot AGAIN ! , same bloody Virus Warning keeps coming up ........" I Know" i sez to meslf, i`ll go on the web and come on here for help - i clicks on the Explorer short-cut button , nothing ... sweet F A ! :mad: ...... to cut a very long & boring story short , i get the W32/NetSky Problem sorted ( i think) PC is still playing up tho - various short-cut keys aint working , PC Crashes Again , i reboot AGAIN ! ...... new problem appears , once it`s fully rebooted and i`ve clicked out of Safe Mode , CorrectConnect has disappeared from Start-up, only to be replaced by Golden Palace.Com "what in the name of sweet jesus is THAT" i sez . so i trawls through my pc in the usual places. looking . Add/Remove Programmes being the first port of Call , two progs in their that i knew nothing about , Golden Casino & CasProg - the latter one of the two being the crux of my problems i`m thinking . Golden Casino .. Remove ... Gone (phew) CasProg ... Remove .. Dos Box appears for bout 1/2sec goes way ....... CasProg still their (bugger) . PC still running like a pig , still can`t get onto the net via usual methods , and everytime i either have to reboot or start my pc this Golden Palace .Com thing loads-up

    Rudders , in serious need of some help :'(

    rudders,

    I'll take it you disabled System Restore before cleaning up?

    Anyway, please follow these instructions and post results in the same sub forum.

    regards.

    Cheers , Rudders

    rudders,

    In case you still encounter problems and want one of the specialists having a look at it, possibly helping you out: by all means. Please post over in the "Adware...etc" forum.

    regards.

    I just went through my MSCONFIG and disabled a bunch of crap i didnt see before. After i rebooted, it popped up a CMD window running C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\cp_uninstall.exe or something like that (im not certain on the exact filename). It then said "CasProg successfully removed". I had no clue what that was, so i searched on google and found this thread. I also had the same thing with that golden palace stuff but as you said, Add/Remove gets rid of it. Anyways, so far so good. That CasProg crap is gone as far as i know. Hopefully this helps :)

    Regards,
    Jon Cooke
