I would use vudofix (google it) to check and fix pc BUT ....

before that, do all the things that imtonsoffun247's link tells you to do and have a malware specialist of this forum help you out first.

jbmwx, please send users to our Malware Removal Guide instead of Google. That's why it's there http://www.computerhope.com/forum/index.php/topic,46313.0.html

and yes, I would have done that BUT didn't i say to follow the link already posted in the post right above where I posted? Wasn't that the same link you posted too, which is the Malware Removal Guide? I didn't think I needed to repost it anyway .....

No offence but doesn't that mean you didn't need to post in the first place?

[BC_Programmer]

looks like jbmwx is easily offended anyway.

I'm sure he'll be back, and somehow I feel he'll manage to use even fewer vowels!

[evilfantasy]

When you are actually trying to be nice they still can't handle it. Go figure...

[BC_Programmer]

peh. he was one of the short-lived members; or more precisely the persona-changing ones. they post until about 20 or 40 posts, delete their account, create a new one when they stop sobbing, delete it if anybody tries to put them straight, etc..

It's an endless cycle.

ok, in add/remove programs i found the "Viewpoint Media Player" and "Weather Services", both of which majorgeeks said were malware programs, so should i delete them?

[evilfantasy]

Viewpoint Media Player/Manager/Toolbar is considered as Foistware instead of malware since it is installed without users approval but doesn't spy or do anything "bad".

More information:

• ViewMgr.exe - Useless
  
• Viewpoint to Plunge Into Adware

It is suggested to remove the program now.

----------

Weather Services is often times installed along with some other software and is considered foistware and sometimes adware. If you don't use it then I suggest uninstalling it. Some of the malware scanners we use might also remove it depending on what the software is. There is good and bad Weather software.

[evilfantasy]

[asunverneth]

Do you have your XP CD? If so place it in the drive and restart the computer. Choose to do a Repair Install.
