IE6 + spooner.a + WMP + MSN + total mess up (repost)
I've been having SERIOUS trouble with my Windowsversion
lately. Especially with Windows Media Player 9, which fell out, with Internet Explorer 6, with the MSNmessenger toolbar, with Windows Update which (of course) doesn't function at all anylonger, with my languagesettings (I'm Dutchtongued but now my system has become a mixture of English and Dutch). a) Windows Media Player: Stopped functioning suddenly. Tried to download from the specific WMP9-homepage, but that version was unable to install over the existing corrupt one. After downloading an English version from somewhere else on the Microsoft-pages, install did work. But now I get a lot of scripting errormessages within WMP. b) MSN toolbar: My troubles began after installing this thing. WMP fell out and then later, that awful spooner.a trojan... (see next) c) Internet Explorer 6: Removed trojan spooner.a with my antivirusprogram from all locations and manually from C:\_restore. The funny thing is that it always comes back whenever I visit www.microsoft.com with the Internet Explorer browser. Even after removing thoroughly the msn-toolbar. Whilst visiting those Microsoft pages this url pops up in a window: http://www.ntsearch.com/euro_in.php?acc=zone2 Whenever this gets activated, I know the spooner.a virus nestles on my system as c:\SP.EXE. This never happens with Netscape Navigator. d) Windows Update: Whichever patches installed, whatever I try, Windows Update doesn't react. Always the same error page. e) Hotmail: Even with Internet Explorer 6 (SP1) installed, visiting hotmail-mailpages with IE always gives me the response that I should download IE 6. f) System-language: After installing Dutch updates, half of my Dutch Windows is suddenly in English. Greetings. I need a beer now. Cheers. |

In article , JustME says...
O yes.. g) Re-installation of WinME from disc flips. Another beer, plz, Marge ! 26 letters in the alphabet... Fair enough. Now, learn how to secure MSIE against running scripts, or don't use it. What you caught was probably related to the Cool Web Search browser hijacker, if what I see on the site you linked is anything to go by. They get into systems through promiscuous scripting in MSIE. -- Norman ~Win dain a lotica, En vai tu ri, Si lo ta ~Fin dein a loluca, En dragu a sei lain ~Vi fa-ru les shutai am, En riga-lint |
