Title: What Happened?
Post by: 1QWK96GT on March 23, 2009, 09:16:50 AM

I started my computer up the other day and it seems as though I got some virus/worm/trojan. So I start the process of removing it. The unknown files running in my task manager and startup is: pp04.exe,freddy32.exe,ld02.exe,rundll rundll32, startup manager thing. Also the other symptoms are that when i try to search anything on the computer it redirects me to some hyfixmycomputer.com website. I have tried disabling all them in startup and restarting but doing this disables my web browser function, even though I am still connected to the internet. I am currently on my other computer trying to figure this out and help is greatly appreciated. Thanks

Sounds like you've been hit by the evils of spyware, try ad-aware or other freely available spyware removal tools, but on the same note be cautious as some spyware masquerades as a PC fix it tool.. Which sounds like whats happened to your good-self.
