Re: Popups about viruses and spyware anytime anything is done on the computer.

Hello again jerrinator.

and i should say it uncovered some things that i have to deal with the other users of this computer
Please read this to help you deal with the other users:

Cracked (Illegal) Software

This is the main reason your computer is infected. Visiting cracksites/warezsites - and other questionable/illegal sites is always a risk.

Even a single click on the site can drop multiple forms of very serious malware, many of which disable your onboard protection, and System Restore.

If you install the cracked software, you are running executable files from these dubious, unknown sources. You are in effect giving these sources access to information on your hard disk, and potential control over the operation of your computer.

Additionally, cracked programs are illegal.

i ran the virtual technician (it found some registry problem that it fixed) and the problem seems to be gone with the systemguard....so i'm keeping the mcafee if you don't mind...
Just a suggestion because many users who applied your fix reported that the problem reappears every time McAfee updates. It may have fixed it--I hope it did. Let me know if it reappears after an update.

------------------------------------------------------

Open Notepad and copy/paste the entire contents of the code box below into Notepad:

Code:
del /a/f/q "C:\Documents and Settings\Del User\My Documents\BiR Data\Programs and Installers (BASIC)\Nero 8 Ultra Edition 8.2.8.0\Nero-8.2.8.0_eng_trial.exe"
Save this Notepad file as delete.bat and choose to Save as type: - All Files then close the Notepad file.
It should look like this:

Double-click on delete.bat to run it. A DOS window will open and close again, this is normal. You may delete the file afterwards.

------------------------------------------------------

Your logs appear clean. See what happens with McAfee and let me know.
