    Hello
    My system is acting very weird! :(
    Screen flashes black once in a while but mostly when clicking on some thing.
    Windows update won't DL. Gets all the way to the little DL window then stops?
    most links @ websites fail But that is better now that I lowered my security setting. (That suc#@$# )!
    Trend Showed nothing, GFI also nothing.
    AntiVir shows the usual faulse ones and AGV nothing and Kaspersky Escan tool kit shows the usual false ones.
    I found "NETSKY.P" on my boss's computer saturday any advice there?
    Please look over my hijack and let me know. Ran Ad-ware.

    OK I can't attach my log! Same "Error on page" as I get in some other site links. Any advice there? :(

    thanks for any replies!

    Copy and paste the content of the log. That is easier for the helpers as well. :)

    I am sorry, but I don't understand how you can type something in a box you say you can't open. o_O o_O

    All that for a clean log. :doubt:

    Can you shut down the debugging in IE and see if that helps?
    In Internet Explorer, go to Tools > Internet Options > on the Advanced tab uncheck "Disable script debugging" You might as well uncheck "Display a notification about every script error" when you are there anyway.

    Regards,

    Pieter

    Thank you.
    "Clean"? Wow sure could have fooled me.
    But I DO need to study more about what programs should access the web and print me a list or something. I quess I am a bit parinoid from all the crashes I see the guys I work for do and get them selfs into.
    Any ideas about "NETSKY.P" I saw 902 infected files on that system and I fresh installed norton 03, updated, started a scan and left saturday afternoon.
    I'd like a plan for it when I go to work tomorrow.
    Thanks again to Pieter!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Thanks for the reply but the link also failed. I copy n past in address bar then tried removing one at a time from back end untill adding a m to ".co." got me to a site for "email in your own name".
    This is straining the old "RAM" in my head. This is a legal copy of XP and it won't work. I helped a friend last night N that wasn't one and it updated just fine?

    do this please

    navigate to C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc using windows explorer

    it will be a hidden folder so do this first
    Open Windows Explorer & Go to Tools > Folder Options. Click on the View tab and make sure that "Show hidden files and folders" is checked. Also uncheck "Hide protected operating system files" and untick "hide extensions for known file types" . Now click "Apply to all folders"
    Click "Apply" then "OK"

    double click on the file called hosts
    it will say what do you want to use to open this file, scroll down the list and select notepad

    when it opens copy everything in that file and paste the contents back here in a reply

    Thank you dvk01
    Very good directions!!!!!!! :D

    Here is the info from that file.
    # Copyright (c) 1993-1999 Microsoft Corp.
    #
    # This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
    #
    # This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
    # entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
    # be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
    # The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
    # space.
    #
    # Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
    # lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
    #
    # For example:
    #
    # 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server
    # 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host

    127.0.0.1 localhost
    Let me know and THANKS AGAIN!
    Please also let me know what to switch back.

    Thanks

    I did manage to get a few "cnet" downloads to work but nothing near a M$ site and I'd really like the updates fot xp and Nvidia.
    UT2003 errored out. Keeps telling me to delete "UT2003.ini" file?
    Deleted many times, (not work), can only find in sys folder. Can't do any searching in this sys either. Can't uninstall UT2003?


    Weird

    Thanks again

    Re: Update/download not working:(

    having 2 antiviruses both running at the same time, avg & Antivir doesn't help and might be contributing to the problem.

    they both want to check on every action and either both ignore it or both tryu and lock up especially on clicking links

    disable one of them from running if you can.

    if not uninstall one completely and see if that stops the problem
