Subject: [MCH] A-squared suspicious objects.
Hello everybody,
After running an a-squared scan, I got the following suspicious objects -
*Object* *Diagnosis*
Value: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Netscape\Netscape Navigator\Automation
Protocols --> ftp Trace.Registry.NetPumper
<http://www.emsisoft.com/en/malware/?Trace.Registry.NetPumper>
Value: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Netscape\Netscape Navigator\Automation
Protocols --> http Trace.Registry.NetPumper
<http://www.emsisoft.com/en/malware/?Trace.Registry.NetPumper>
My problem is that since -
1) I donot know anything about this 'HKEY' thingy, and
2) It scares me because it mentions 'Registry' in the Diagnosis,
I am not sure whether to hit the 'Remove selected objects' button.
Will it be safe to remove these HKEY objects?
For my knowledge, what exactly are these HKEY objects?
Many thanks in advance for your help.
Warm regards,
Ricky.

Ricky:
I trust A2 and dump whatever it says. The worst that can happen is that you
have to reinstall Netscape.
I've fooled around with the registry and screwed it up and had to do repair
installations of XP. Again, no big deal unless you need your computer for
work.

Subject: Out of Memory
I have an 800 MHz Pentium III Computer,384 MB of ram.I get an "Out
of Memory" Box: Across the Top it says "Microsoft Works" with a Red
X to close @ upper right corner, inside the white Box says Out of
Memory with an X inside a RED circle.This only occurs when I'm
working on a spreadsheet in Microsoft Works & click on file &
PRINT."First Time Help" also appears & wants to give m a tour I
only have data in Columns A to E and rows 1 to 16, right now. When I
did get it to Print, printer kept on going to row #245,(even though
I had no data beyond row 16); I had to cancel printing in printer
documents. I work on this spreadsheet monthly & save in my
documents, never had any problem before.I start a new sheet every
January.Tonight instead of opening the existing saved spreadsheet,
I started a new sheet and made new entries for, January, February
and March and when I clicked print, "Out of memory" message appeared
immediately.I usually print with the gridlines. I can print other
items without problems either items saved in my Documents or new
selections to print. When this happens the Hourglass seems to be
just floating around my desktop and not responding & I hear repeated
BEEPS three beeps, then 2 I think.
I Click ctrl, alt, delete, and get task Manager and click "end
program" on the not responding Microsoft Works. Across bottom of
Task Manager it Says: Processes 55, CPU usage 2%, Comit Change:
340M/92. Thank you for your help, otherwise I can't upate my Home
Ofice . Lydia

Subject: Re: IE pages flipping while surfing?
I know it sounds weird but I will try to explain. Ok I just opened
this window (http://groups.yaho.com.....) in IE and the windows page
flipped to another IE open. Seems like the page I started viewing
ends up 3 pages away and I have to alt + tab til I find my original
page... Does that make sense? It happens all the time.

Annie,
This happens to me too. Not constant or consistent rather occasionally. I
can not figure when or why it happens. On the days or times it happens it
just keeps happening. Maybe memory related? As in how long the pc has
been on (time wise)?

Google Desktop had an exploit which allowed bad people to break into
computers; it also froze my computer. I don't use it. I don't know anything
about the Yahoo variety but the whole idea kind of creeps me out.

Subject: RE: File that won't delete IS NOW GONE!
I wanted to write back and report to the list that I was able to finally
delete that pesky file and it's twin by using the program that Paris sent a
link for;
<<<http://www.purgeie.com/delinv/index.htm I hope this is of some help.
Paris>>>
Thanks to all who sent ideas on what else to try. I used to know the DOS
commands to change the file attributes, but I'm not sure if I can get to
DOS with WinXP, and the properties page would not let me do it from within
XP.
I did try safe mode, but the files would not show up in safe mode.
I 'm not sure just how this file was created, other than knowing that it
originally was a set of scanned photos that were sent to a yahoogroup. I'm
on digest mode, so I can not see any of the attached photos. It almost
seems like what she sent me ended up being an empty link to either her
computer, the yahoogroup itself, or maybe even the person's PC that the
pictures originated from... (If such a thing is possible) Hopefully my
friend will learn the correct way to share photos the next time... and I'll
be wiser to make sure it contains more than 0 bytes before I save it!
Thanks again! Lisa
Lord, please make me the kind of person my dog thinks I am.

Subject: Re: IE pages flipping while surfing?
maybe do a hijack this and send the log to Sean and see if he finds
anything that could be creating the problem. Of course you could also do
the analyze yourself before contacting Sean so you have an idea of what to
do in the future.
