Try to get a vaccine, I think flu shots are still available at Walgreens.

Answer 2

this is a program that runs in the background, recording all the keystrokes. Once keystrokes are logged, they are hidden in the machine for later retrieval, or shipped raw to the attacker. The attacker then peruses them carefully in the hopes of either finding passwords, or possibly other useful information that could be used to compromise the system or be used in a social engineering attack. For example, a key logger will reveal the contents of all e-mail composed by the user. Keylog programs are commonly included in rootkits and RATs (remote administration trojan



Detection: Win32/Keylogger.G!Trojan: Rfffundll32.exe



Removal: Install a good anti spyware software such as Mocrosoft anti spyware also known as windows defender (www.microsoft.com) or equally good and then start the computer in safe mode and then scan the computer, the virus will be removed.

Answer 3

Go to "pandachallenge.com" and click on FREE virus scan. Then follow the instructions. It will run a complete virus scan and repair all virus's. It doesn't fix spyware. I use it once a week for free just to make sure I am current. Give it a try, it works great.

Answer 4

Sounds to me that you got really nasty ad-ware(s). Well, the O/S seems completely turned to moot. My suggestion is to backup all important data on an external-HD/removable media. Then reformat it. If you want to fix the problem, you gotta give me more information. Download hijackthis and run it. Post the results to me. I can tell you what you got. Also, i suggest using safe mode and removing it manually.(going to the folder and deleting it from there). If possible, email me the stuff and i tell you more in detail. Also when this is all done, do routine checkups on the computer and use firefox.

Answer 5

Time to get a firewall and virus scan software. There's free stuff out there or buy Norton or McAfee. The Sunday ads always have some sale or rebate and you can get them for almost free!

Answer 6

i hope you know what a keylogger is. If you dont it is a program that saves all of your keyboard strokes which includes passwords and teh programs they were typed into. this is also how people get credit card numbers if you do any online shopping. Do what a previous poster said and go to http://www.download.com i have gotten several anti-spyware and ad-ware programs from them and they work great!
