Thanks

Dunno if I've heard of PISTOP...

It's PISTOP.exe. It keeps trying to connect to the net. I have my firewall stop it.

Hi veronica

I can't find anything on pistop.exe. , is that the correct spelling ?

**veronica** · May 30th, 2006, 20:18 PM

Yes. PISTOP.exe

Thanks for replying.

I think it is spware/adware etc... i've seen some flashing banners on websites, or pop-ups advertising that your computer is slow, so come to Pitstop(?) for a tuneup etc.... then it installs crapware....

Run a full virus/spyware scan... make sure u keep blocking it in the firewall, or unplug your internet connection until it is fixed.

Hey V....have you in your travels visited PC Pitstop to do any type of troubleshooting on your puter?

**veronica** · May 31st, 2006, 18:52 PM

Yes, but it's spelled Pitstop. Why would it try phoning home many times.

Thanks for replying.
