Steve TK, you have one nasty called Vundo on your system. It'll require a special fix to take care of beyond using Hijackthis. The suggestion to post at Tom Coyote is a good idea, and in fact, that is another forum I frequent. I am one of the people there who can answer Hijackthis logs, my...

I actually have driven on US 6 when I was driving from the East Coast to California. Like you, I looked on the map and saw 6 looks like a short cut, but wondered if it would be better to stay on I 70 to I 15 north to Provo. Well, when I got near the exit for for US 6, there was a sign that said...

That's just about guaranteed to be a false positive. I have that file too. It's located in C:WINDOWSsystem32QuickTime folder and is 401KB It deals with the various file extensions that Quicktime works with, .mov, .avi, etc. You can upload the file to Jotti scan to get a second opinion. I've...

The FCC just ruled a few days ago that VOIP must provide local 911 for your area and gave the providers 4 months to comply. I wonder though if it will be as good as a land line 911. I hate how everything has a contract now.Especially for services that you don't even know if they will work...
