Everytime I go to Outlook, my computer tries to send 55 emails!! Can
this
be
caused by Spyware? I can't seem to correct the problem. Thanks!

Hi,
Two instances of spyware:
"ViewMgr"="C:\\Program Files\\Viewpoint\\Viewpoint
Manager\\ViewMgr.exe"
"WildTangent CDA"="RUNDLL32.exe \"C:\\Program
Files\\WildTangent\\Apps\\CDA\\cdaEngine0400.dll\",cdaEngineMain"
But no viruses. What makes you think that you have one?

Here's what I found...thanks for your help!!:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
"Sonic RecordNow!"=""
"MSMSGS"="\"C:\\Program Files\\Messenger\\msmsgs.exe\" /background"

When I tried to pull up the string :
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared
Tools\MSConfig\startupreg
there
wasn't anything under MsConfig. The only items available with an
"M"
were:
MSInfo; MSWinWrite; MSWord6.wpc and MSWord8
I hope this is what you were looking for...I'm not that technical.
and
I've
never been in the registry before. Thanks "Nutcase"!

Hi,
Click start/run, type regedit and click ok. Export a copy of the
following
keys:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared
Tools\MSConfig\startupreg
Right click each of the keys in turn, choose edit. Then copy/paste
the
contents of each into a reply.

I finally managed to get in as the Adminisitrator!! I ran the
Stinger,
under the repair option, and rebooted my computer. Nothing has
really
changed. When I go into Outlook, my email program immediately
attempts
to
send 55 emails. I don't know what else to do to get rid of the
virus.
McAfee is of little help!! I've tried Spybot, Ad-Aware SE and
Kapersky
virus
removal programs to identify and disable the virus...but none
seem
to
work.
Any programs that you would recommend? Thanks for your help, it
is
much
appreciated!!
:
Thanks "Nutcase". I downloaded the Stinger program, but it is
under
my
username, and not the Administrator. When I try to get into
safemode,
I
keep
getting a "Key Board Failure" which won't allow me to type in
the
password as
the Administrator. I can get into Safe Mode...just not as the
Administrator,
and the Stinger tool is not listed as one of the programs from
which
to
choose. Any suggestions? This is frustrating!!
:
Hi,
If the restore points are infected, then going back is
pointless.
If
they
are corrupted and System Restore fails, then there is no going
back.
Suggest instead you download stinger from
http://vil.nai.com/vil/stinger/
and then restart in Safe mode. Logon as administrator, then
run
the
file
where it won't be interfered with by the virus.
How to start in Safe mode:

I can't go back in time with system restore due to a
trojan/virus/worm
that
has infected my computer. McAfee can't seem to
identify/remove
the
virus
and
I'd like to go back in time to a previous setting. Help
please.
Thanks
