Computer bros I need your help.

[argent]

Ok heres what up. I am getting small pop-up boxes (that are part of my computer running not advertisements) that pop up on top of each other and cascade all over the place. A new on pops up every few minutes.

It says:

APP_VERO_38446
Object not found

I have tried restarted my computer and I already ran adware. WTF is going on and how do I fix it? Thanks in advance to the technologically gifted.

Your computer has Syphillis.

On a side note, my door to bedroom just slammed shut on it's own and I'm kinda scared. Hold me.

Try this - it may or may not do anything but it is the best of its kind. When you visit websites, some of the sites tag your computer - this will clean it up. It is called Ad-Aware.
Type in Google/yahoo "Ad-Aware" and download it. It is free so you don't have to worry. It may not clear up the problem - if it doesn't you may have a virus. In that case get a copy of Norton.

 

[argent]

done that already bro

If you've already run Norton and have the most current definition files, I would disable cookies to try and minimize sites 'tagging' your computer. I would also grab a copy of a 'popup' stopper that blocks most of this type of crap.

Other than that, I have to agree with NB, I couldn't find much that fit your description....

Go to install/uninstall programs under control panel and unistall the program that is giving the error (probably has a name similar to the one the is in the pop up.

Also, in start>startup delete any program that you do not want running when you boot up including this one. Also, look under computer management>services and stop the service that has the same name.

Did you run a virus check?

 

[argent]

I ran Norton and it came up empty.

wtf?

 

[chesty]

Did you try what I told you?

On Adware change it to "select drives/folders to scan" and select the entire C drive and any other HD's you have installed. With their settings, it only scans certain directories, if you scan the entire drive, you'll find lots more shit.

 

[strongsmartsexy]

Delete ALL cookies, then download a program called Spyware Blaster, make sure to get the latest updates. Then run AdAware, and finally run Sbybot Search and Destroy. AdAware and Spybot have a lot of overlap, but each find things the other does not.

After you've done this, get a popup stopper product and use it.

I tried that and it wasn't listed under the programs. There wasn't anything even close to its name.



Also, in start>startup delete any program that you do not want running when you boot up including this one. Also, look under computer management>services and stop the service that has the same name.I still need to do this.

Did you run a virus check? Yes I ran Nortons

 

[argent]

I tried to find the startup thing but you'll need to be more specific on what to do and where to locate things
