Random IE popups - Page 2

MicroBell · 06-05-2005, 02:55 AM

Click START…RUN…Type in regedit. Navigate to this key and remove the entry in BOLD...

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer\Run
"wkouy" = "C:\WINDOWS\system32\wkouy.exe" [file not found]

Close regedit.

Other then that...the logs are clean. Any more issues? If not..you should be set. Please disable system restore and then re-enable it. This will clear the infection out of the restore folder.

Please read through the spyware prevention section on how to protect yourself from spyware/adware Here and use the recommend programs and methods to protect yourself!

Done. I meant to say two posts ago that all popups and app switching had stopped, so that was at least good.
Thanks again for all of your help, and have a good week!
