![]() OK, so I appreciate that some of the "EXPERTS" here are very busy so I appeal to anyone who has the time to help.
My problem is that I am using a plug in type Broadband but it's chewing up like 4 MB PER MINUTE (started about a week ago) I have auto updates turned OFF I've done a Hijack report thing but I can't see anything that shouldn't be there but I really wouldn't know anyway! So any ideas greatly appreciated. |

![]() 1. Have you updated and run Spyware Doctor for infections?
2. You appear to have reminants of Norton's Antivirus, delete the entire Symantec folder. 3. Download Noadware, update it and scan for malware, if it finds anything other than cookies, email me and I'll supply you with an activation number to remove the threats. 4. Download Malwarebytes Antimalware, update it and perform a deep scan for infections. 5. Run Hijack this and tick only the boxes that have (file missing), or (no name) or (no file) at the start or end of the entry. Delete these references. Did you try an unsuccessful Service Pack upgrade? It appears that some Service Pack entries are there but some didn't install correctly. Apologies for not getting back to you sooner, I've been unwell.....again.

![]() Party,
Removing Nortons is not so easy. Even if you can remove the Nortons folder parts of Nortons will still be on your PC. Nortons has a removal tool but even this will not remove all of this bloatware! To completely remove Nortons go to: http://www.askdavetaylor.com/how_to...on_from_pc.html Many steps involved but they are simple to follow. I'm using the free Online Armor firewall [best I've ever used] now and it works very well with the free AVG anti-virus. Both programs are install and forget. No tweaking involved. Also, be VERY careful about what you remove using Hijack This. You best bet is to visit the Spyware Warrior forum and post your problem and a recent Hijack This log in the section: "HijackThis Logs- Help with spyware removal" http://www.spywarewarrior.com/index.php Good luck!

![]() Sorry I can't help, but any information is better than no information.
I had that sort of thing once. And it worried me because I only can have about 30 Meg per day rations or I get slugged a hefty bill for excess usage. I got by for a few days by getting my page I needed, then going Offline, read or do what I had to do, then go back Online. Then go the Page or whatever I had to do, then go Offline. Lot of mucking around. It turned out that some website was causing me to upload Megabytes of data. I got rid of the problem maybe by doing a system restore, but more likely by playing around with the registry. Have a go at running msconfig and see if there is anything in your startup Folder what could be a problem. Hijack this can often find the problem too. Google searches give good results if you can actually insert the correct keywords to use. But Googling is gonna eat up your Megabytes while your virus is still alive. I've had so much bullaaaa over the years, and I managed to get rid of them, but my memory is terrible and I can't recall any repairs and if I get caught again, I'll be no better off than I was when I got caught the first time. Good Luck with it. You could always get another cheap Computer and use it until you get the information to repair your faulty one. That is what I do now. Have a spare Computer for times like these. |

1&2 done, 3 done, only 3 cookies picked, rated no great threat 4 done 5 done that Re Service Pack, I got a pop up from MS you know the usual updates available, bla bla so went for it then it came back with what I told you about Office?? but it was after that the problem became obvious(may be just co-incidence) Also as a separate issue, I still had Norton on my laptop so updated and ran that, also didn't pick anything up?? |
