Serendipidous I found you guys a couple of days ago. Had a lady friend and her kid over last nite. After they left, I used ie's drop down menu on the address bar. Like always it had the history of url's I had typed, but I was surprised to find 2 of the "sharing hand" icons I used to see at work when a directory or printer was shared with the network. Got a cold, clammy feeling. I updated and ran ad-aware, spybot S&D and x-cleaner; no new issues. I tested my zonealarm at shieldsup!. Still at 100%. Even looked at Start/Programs to see if anything new had been installed. Nothing. I still don't have a warm fuzzy feeling about this. Yet, interrogating her her 15 yr old after their first evening over is not a palatable option either. So, please give me the answers to two questions. First, what a sharing hand icon means when it appears in ie's address bar? What other ways can I verify my box's security? FYI, I'm running XP with IE6 and I'm current on the latest patches and upgrades. In terms of computer literacy, I'm a step up from the average pc end user but can't even spell mcse. Would appreciate the help.
I'm not sure what you are referring to. Can you attach a screen image of that part of IE? Did these lines show actual URLs besides those icons? You haven't mentioned what anti-virus program you use. The first thing I'd do is verify that it is still running and do a full scan. You could also try a couple of the online AV scans linked from our Free Services page. Those are a good second opinion for things like this. Beyond that if you are still concerned, you could try posting a HijackThis log so the people here can review it to see if it shows and known malware. HijackThis is a tool that displays startup and configuration information from your system. It is a very good way to determine what malware is present and it also helps in fixing it.
I use norton as my av. I've run a full scan using it. Then I disabled it and ran a couple of scans using the online resources you suggested (thanks). No indication of infection. Don't know how to make a screen image of IE's address bar. But I'll try to describe what's happening in more detail. When I click the down arrow on the address bar I get a list. The individual lines are formatted in two parts. The first is an icon, usually IE's blue lower case "e", followed by a url. The effect resembles the below. e http://www.wilders.org e http://www.amazon.com e http://65.54.246.250 Now imagine you want to share a resource, like a directory, in Windows 98. Typically one would right click on the item, then select properties, then share. The directory's icon would now appear as though it were resting atop a hand held with the palm facing up. That same "hand with the palm held up" now appears in my list of typed urls. The effect is similar to e http://www.wilders.org e http://www.amazon.com e http://65.54.246.250 h e http://movies.yahoo.com e http://tv.yahoo.com h e http://www.shockwave.com Hope this helps.

Hi bearspencer, Please try this: Star > Run > type or copy&paste msconfig > OK > on the Startups tab uncheck: C:\Program Files\Live365\Start365\Start365.exe" -auto Then reboot and let me know if that is the one. If not try the same for: C:\npdor\npdor.exe Regards, Pieter
Live365 is a 'net radio station and npor is for a distributed computing project. thanks, though. What can we try next?
I was aware of that. Did you check if neither of them was responsible for the sharing hand? Regards, Pieter
