Try right clicking on the blue tool bar at the bottom of your screen to bring up the "task manager". Go in and try to "end task" from there - it may even say not responding or something to that effect.
Do you have much else open besides the SO session that isn't saved?

The prob is that it ALWAYS pops up. Every time I use IE. Wahhh!

Trojan... heh... that can't be too good!

I take it ZA wouldn't be considered an anti-virus software?

James"Thunder"Early · 04-25-2005, 11:53 PM

Zone Alarm is great. do you have all the latest updates for it? If so run a scan and see what comes up.

You really need Norton or McAfee. We're running both, plus a built-in firewall and Ad-Aware (I run that manually every couple of days).

Haha, nothing's getting past you!

I used to have McAfee, but then my trial ended.

robyrob · 04-25-2005, 11:58 PM

its spyware. (nothing wrong with running Zone Alarm or other AV software just in case though)

go to the run command and type in msconfig, go to the Startup Tab and look for anything that starts with terra or browselc.exe and clb11154.exe and
uncheck to disable them.

hold down the ctrl+alt+del keys and see if you recognize any of those names and end those processes.

you are going to need to try run your Spybot / AdAware and MS Antispyware programs if you have XP, or you can try search for those files on your hard drive and delete them.

if you dont see those names, you may have to create a log with HijackThis

We've NEVER had a problem with a virus or anything - EVER!! Luckily Frank gets it freebies from work since he needs to sign on from home sometimes!! I just have it set to let me know when there's new updates to scan for. It's fabulous!

Dr. Phillips is probably best to help you run a scan for ZA. I've never used it so I'm not sure if its the same as a windows update or another way.

TripperFan · 04-26-2005, 12:03 AM

Can't you download Ad-Aware free?

James"Thunder"Early · 04-26-2005, 12:09 AM

Ad-Aware is free
