Title: Virus (Stop you from opening links)
Post by JohnJ on May 9^th, 2004, 10:30pm

Im running Adaware 6 Pro, Spybot search & destroy and Norton Antivirus and still some little runt from somewhere still managed to alter my registry...I first noticed it on the Scorpio site when I couldnt open a link of a Bishops Limo, didnt take any notice of it but then noticed I couldnt open any link (in new window)..so if any on you fellow scorpions get this prob heres how to fix it..

RESOLUTION

To resolve this problem in Internet Explorer, follow these steps:
Quit all programs that are running.
Click Start, and then click Run.
Type regsvr32 urlmon.dll, and then click OK.
When you receive the "DllRegisterServer in urlmon.dll succeeded" message, click OK.
If this does not resolve the problem, repeat steps 2 through 4 for each of the following files (in step 3, replace Urlmon.dll with each of the file names below):

Shdocvw.dll
Msjava.dll
Actxprxy.dll
Oleaut32.dll
Mshtml.dll
Browseui.dll
Shell32.dll (Windows XP and Windows 2000 only)

Very usefull.....took me a week to sort out.

Sorry I know this is the Scorpio site but I quite proud of my self. ;D

Hi John,

You have most probably seen this site, but if not, take a look and see what you think. (Change from IE)?

You can also

go www.trendmicro.com and run a housecall

it will scan your computer for free - it found six virus on mine

My usual virus checker AVG - did not pick them up

Very useful

John j

In your rant you have said the magic word Norton. This program is probably the least reliable i know for firewall capabilities and virus checking. the programs you and all you technophobes out there need are avg virus software which is free www.grisoft.com and zonealarm, also free and recommended by microsoft www.zonealarm.com

Both these progs are tested and reliable and all you users should have them :)

avg is the best virus checker available, all i can say is that if it did not pick up your virus's you have not updatesd it regularly. Are you on dial-up?
