Operating System Problems (XP Home Edition)
Ill start it all off from here
I have the following things on my computer for protection
(Please offer suggestions in regards to what I should alter)
1) AVG Antivirus 7.0
2) Xoftspy Protection
3) Spyware Doctor 2.1
4) Registry Mechanic 3.0
5) Privacy Guardian 3.0
(bleaching free space sounds bad to me,so I don't)
6) Tweak XP 4 Professional
7) Uninstalled Windows Service Pack II
8) Sygate Personal Firewall
Okay, with AVG I have killed the halloween/trick or treat virus hoax thats been getting to peoples computers. AVG seems to pick up a lot more
things that a legal version of Norton or Panda says it can't remove.
But now I hear a deep laughing voice every now and then while
going on websites and just like anybody I would like it removed.
I have tried everything and I really dont wanna mess around with
my registry (RUN + REGEDIT) unless I really know what im doing,
so if anyone has had this occor before,what type of file should I
be looking for so I can delete it?
I also cannot System Restore or Recover but I believe that thats
because of something in the control panel that can be easily changed.
If this can't be easily changed can somebody please tell me what I
should be going to. As a student im still learning a lot even though
I know a good bit so please let me know what I can do about this.
Thank you for your time and attention
P.S
There also seems to be a second administrator account hiding on my computer and I plan to fix it with a form of software from a friend
called ATG or ARG Commander that lets you reset passwords without
even knowing about it. I just have to wait until Tuesday, which bites.
Thanks for helping if you can....
