Yes I think Juanita was offended at what I said in my last post....... I didnt mean to offend her, of course, I just meant to say I felt for her ........... doesnt matter ............... of course, she shouldnt have on her PC what she doesnt want, but taking things off correctly should not cause her the problems that she is having ........ I'll butt out now ..... Merry Christmas to everyone and a safe and happy New Year. Sandy Bruce Eddy wrote: Hi Juanita.. A couple things.. Not trying to start an argument here but I beg to differ with some things.... no where on any of Armando's Google links or on my own searches did I see the word 'worm' at all for anything?? The dllcc and the dlcccoms stuff is related to your printer. Most likely you got the printer WITH the PC?? All I saw in my searches were highjackthis logs.. all mentioning having the same files as you, but not one of the HJT gurus ( some of which are MVPs) told anyone of them to remove any of the dllcc files? The viewpoint thingy is to watch media type things online.. you can uninstall that thru add/remove programs.. it's not exactly a 'bad guy' per se'.. but some of the spyware programs will list it as such,, Just like they do for Weather bug.. It's not a bad guy BAAAAD guy, in the real sense of the term... The DSagent could actually be uninstalled.. but that's not really necessary.. all it does is check with the Dell site for upgrades/updates for your specific PC... Again, not officially a 'bad' guy..not absolutely 'needed' either..just turn it off from loading on every boot and run it manually so if there's an update that dell thinks your system needs, you can set a restore point, do the update manually and se if your system is better or worse.. if it's worse, revert back to your restore point.... A couple things you can try.. 1 try renaming those dlcc files to something easy to change back.. add a 1 to the front or the back of the file then reboot your system if your printer no longer works, then you can be pretty positive those are good files.. You don't absolutely HAVE to have your printer load on every boot, but sometimes you lose some easy functionality if you shut it down.. Don't make your PC harder to run just because things load automatically? You've got 512 megs of ram! Use it to your advantage. XP is muuuuch better at using ram than any flavor of 9X that you're used to seeing... There's no need to shut down anything and everything that's not absolutely essential for fear of running out of memory.. Everything that auto-loads or everything that tries to connect outside is NOT a bad guy...run your firewall, your Av your anti spyware stuff.. you should be fine... You can lock up your PC so secure that's it's impossible to function or that everything you do becomes a chore or takes extra steps? Yes you need to be cautious and careful, but you don't have to be paranoid? Don't let the PC own you? Again, I don't mean to cause a problem here, But I personally looked at Juanita's HJT log before she posted it here. I made my suggestions and I see no reason to turn off any more than told her then, other than the optional things I mentioned to her.. again I don't mean to butt in here, but when I see someone getting almost paranoid, based on something some one else said... I gotta speak up...
