What operating system?
-MF

Sportbilly · 11-December-03, 05:28 PM

Tried Spybot Search & Destroy yet?

Slick2145 · 11-December-03, 06:14 PM

What OS?

BigAkita · 11-December-03, 06:25 PM

You got adware and spyware. Use both Spybot Search and Destroy and AdAware on it.

Then go get JV16Power Tools and do a check of software installed in the registry and get rid of the bad stuff.

jcarkeys · 11-December-03, 06:32 PM

BA, the new version of JV16PT isn't freeware anymore. You happen to have a link to older versions for him?

EDIT: Found an older version, but it's still free here

Slick2145 · 11-December-03, 07:57 PM

Also check your internet security settings - Control Panel --> Internet Options --> Security Tab --> then...
A. Lower your security settings.
B. Choose custom level and under the downloads section turn allow downloads to enabled.

Crazy_J · 11-December-03, 08:51 PM

If you using Win2000 or XP... do you have Admin priviledges?

BigAkita · 11-December-03, 09:12 PM

Not free? That sucks. I don't have the downloaded file on this rig, I'll check some of my others.

Slider · 11-December-03, 10:04 PM

I get that same message at work. It's an admin thing. My guess is your dad set it up so you can't install stuff. We're assholes like that.

WDoG · 11-December-03, 11:29 PM

sorry guys ive been at work, im runnin win2k, ive got spybot, i uninstalled all that sh1T, ill try that other program yall recomended, no my dad didnt change anything, becuase hes the one b1tch'n at me that my system is corrupt, he didnt change anything, so ill check sommore stuff and get back to yall, i think ima have to reformat

edit: yes im the admin, im not a freakin noob

WDoG · 12-December-03, 12:24 AM

tried some other stuff, still not working

Monsignor Funkibut · 12-December-03, 10:26 AM

Yeah, I was gonna suggest that somehow you've gotten locked out of admin priveledges. Not on purpose but thru alteration of a file or something.

Browser is IE6? Maybe a repair of the OS or browser is in order. NOT A REFORMAT OR REINSTALL. Under Add/Change Programs sometimes you get a repair option.

Use Opera. IE is t3h sux.

Jonny English · 12-December-03, 10:36 AM

I'm not casting aspargus

here, but the only time I've seen phenomenon of that type is as a result of malicious java scripts on pr0n sites...

I'd have a nose around the registry & see if there are any dodgy looking IE keys

Crazy_J · 12-December-03, 11:47 AM

IE version six allows you to do a repair.

WDoG · 12-December-03, 11:51 PM
