Blow away your windows install and use Linux ;)SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, then you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60.Comment

Take the file out of your start up routine or re name it. See if your computer runs ok.
It's most likely an infected file, or some crap file that runs spam.Comment

No Firewall,,,
Your machine is probably full of spybots and pop up ads, and other junk will slow the machine down and crash it.
Download and use for free :
Ad aware 6

Along with SpyBot Search and Destroy:
http://www.safer-networking.org
Take you 5 minutes to figure it out, absolutely free, and must have programs especially working in Adult with all the pop ups,
spy bots, virus's, dialers, hijackers.Comment

I dont know. Windows doesn't know what kind of file it is either because theres no extension

I feel bad for all the people who do not use a Firewall or update their systems.
ZoneAlarm and Windows Update are both Free.
If you don't have the Worm yet...You Will unless you update your system.
I would get ZoneAlarm too If you're not running it already.Last edited by lEricPl; 08-07-2003, 06:18 AM.Comment

What?? Man, if you're trying to run a file without an extension and you don't know what it is or what it does, then you deserve to have your hard drive fucked by a virus.Originally posted by Marcus

Thanks everyone. I found and deleted the file, ran adaware, spybot s&d, and did a windows update.
Now I'll scan my system again for virises, should I be OK with that or is there more I should do?
also did this file record my username and passwords when I used them and send that info to someone?
I just want to know so I can cancel my credit cards and get new onesComment
