Oops they did it again....Plz Help Guys!!

[eggman]

Although spyware is now removed, but my system still is not as fast as it used to be. I've removed all spywares with the help of Spyware doctor. However still another similar msg pops out every few hours which tells me to download another stupid thing(similar to prev one). On startup I found these four new items:*img211.imageshack.us/img211/4465/18610023db2.th.jpg
I suspect these are the reasons for the slowness of my system and popup of the msg,because even after I disable them they automatically enables themselves. So please anyone enlighten me to remove these from system. 'Search' couldnt find any file with that name.

You know, before posting the screenshot, you should have blurred the bg! Your warez collection is on public display now!

Righto. Done.

Here is the stupid annoying msg:*img149.imageshack.us/img149/6446/29360683cb1.th.jpg
I have no idea why spyware doctor is unable to detect this. Its fully updated!

Hi Eggman,
From the screenshots u provided it seems u are infected with XPackGen Trojan(I may be wrong).
Before doing anything else install RemoveIT Pro 4.0 from this month's Digit(CD/DVD).
Update it and scan ur system. Its pretty good scanner...........if its XPack.Gen, it may not be able to remove it.
(if its XPack follow this: *www.bullguard.com/forum/10/HOLP-TRCryptXPACKGen--_48522.html)

I would suggest get a copy of Avira and scan ur system again.

well,then can you show me how can you live in a hostel without sharing your articles(even if you hate to do so) atleast things like laptop?it will be extremely tough;I will say .it is human nature rre!

Playing the selfish guy helps.
Be helpful occasionally, but not too much so as to let people take you for granted.
And sharing laptops is definitely not what I call light sharing.
Laptop is as personal as a tooth brush.

Oh ho, I think you never lived in hostel , did you?
There's lots of sharing in there..........

anyway, the next time, do the following:

Note: All this for the "public" user only and not for your main user, which should be password protected. Any other means of accessing data should be blocked.

1. Assign them a limited account that can run no apps ecept installed and approved ones
2. Use maximum security for firewall and antivirus
3. Disable Cookies
4. Disable Java
5. Disable Popups
6. Use OpenDNS and use its built in Parental Control tools to block out adult content
7. Use only firefox, disable access to Internet Explorer
8. In firefox, use adblock plus with easylist.us
9. Also use flashblock in firefox
10. Disable any changes in configuration of firefox by assigning a password to such an operation
11. Prevent access to those folders you concider personal by using password protection or user locking or encrypting.
12. Disable autorun and other security threats.
13. Once again, make your system as restricting as possible so that only genuine use like browsing sites for projects, playing a song or two, etc can be done.
14. try using norton parental control to auto identify p0rn video and audio and prevent their access, but don't make it so obvious. Try to give them an error message like "Format Not Supported" when ever they try to open p0rn.

read what I wrote. There can be more than one accounts in any half decent OS today.
his friends get to use only this restricted user, while he can watch as much p0rn as he wants in his own user.

 

[dheeraj_kumar]

Hmm, sounds like a good idea, then! you can do something like that eggy!!!

 

[eggman]

if its not you who is a p0rn freak, then things only get better.
and once again, *www.opendns.com/ is an excellent solution for strict website control, because you are able to block sites found and pointed to by several volunteers and users around the world. So weather its the chinese p0rn site or the german s3x site, everything is blocked.

Norton Internet Security 2008 is not a bad thing to try out either, if you pay or pirate.
google for free parental control software.

Free Parental Internet Filter
*www.dirfile.com/free_parental_internet_filter.htm
is a good free one which filters out even words, so they can't type the F word and get away with it

PC Sitter Lite
*www.dirfile.com/pc_sitter_lite.htm
its a software to time the amount of hours they are allowed to use the comp during a certain day. Useful to prevent ppl from using YOUR laptop without permission at night.

Parental Lock Guard
*www.dirfile.com/parental_lock_guard.htm
This is the most important, it can prevent everything. And its a blocker. from site block, program block to the best of all, FOLDER BLOCK.

did you try out some of those ? how effective are they ? IMO, it shouldn't take you over half an hour to do this.

 

[zorrotech2008]
