I bought a used p.c. but it seemed kind of slow. I ran spybot, adaware, spywaredoctor and now Fix it utilities 6. to clean it up. It still seems slow so I download Trend Micro Housecall 6.5 and it pick up DIALER_Porndial so I cleaned it up, so I thought, evertime I run it again it is there again. Like it just keeps installing itself. Does anyone know about this and how to get rid of it?
First of all what are your system specs? Have you got OS cd? Is there any important data you have got on ur PC?
I would suggest a COMPLETE re-install, this is even more important if you have a dialer on your machine... dialer's change you ISP to one which charges a ridiculous rate that is put on your phone bill, they can work with dial up and ADSL modems (but not over a network). good luck!
First of all what are your system specs? This is to get imaginary Picture of how much speed to expect from your computer... So if you you have P3 with 256MB RAM n so..then the expectations shudnt be much... Have you got OS cd? So that you can reinstall your system... Is there any important data you have got on ur PC? So you can back up your data before reinstalling your OS.
First of all I want to thank all of you for your help, Everything I tried was to no advail, I even tried add and delete programs, but it was not there. It got so that when I ranTrend-Micro house calls it would freeze up. Then tried Trend Micro spyware and it found it each time, just to reinstall again on next start up. So clicked the + next to what it found. HKLM\Software\vom\ came up. I have Fix it utilities 6 by vcom installed allready, I think the restoration (maybey had it stored?) might have had something to do with it so I deleted the program from add and delete pro. Then ran spyware scan from Trend... on safe mode and then on Reg. mode. and deleted both ways then ran it again and the next thing that came up was cookie_BurstNet cleared that also. Now today I ran housecall and the spyware and nothing of the sort has shown up. Dont know how it happened for sure but Im sure some of you can make more since out of it then I, for this is all new to me . Please care to elaborate, for maybey this will help others. Thanks again for all your help.
