It's a bit of bloody sophisticated malware if it's hiding in svchost. You're not going to be able to get rid of it that easily. Even if it is like that, it'll at least be under a different, probably nice, harmless sounding name. But yeah, I don't see why you can't have a look...

Also, as a precaution, if you can, disconnect it from the Internet or at the very least don't type in any personal passwords, it could have a keylogger feature...

or you could try this http://free.antivirus.com/hijackthis/ you will also need to use this forum http://www.hijackthis.de/ be very careful using HijackThis as it will also remove core windows files as it doesn't distinguish between good files or bad ones.

HijackThis would be able to remove registry problems, as i said you need to be very careful with removing registry files.

Indeed. Very very careful. The infamous Windows Registry, touch NOTHING unless you know what you're doing, and even then it's advised you don't touch anything...

"I never could resist a keep out sign"

Make a system restore point before you delve in there, just in case.

That's a bit idiotic if it comes bundled in with it. It's like the Dell Dock that broke, but then I fixed it.

I don't even want to mess with half the stuff. I don't see why I'd ever need to change the fan speed on the graphics card. It's at 54 degrees in there, and I don't know if that's good or bad...

Ohai.

do you know where you got the virus from ?

it wasn't facebook was it ??

i had to sort a mate of mines out last week from something his mrs got from facebook, i had to do a factory reset so he lost everything :(

Facebook. Srsly.

Unless you're using some dodgy Facebook app, just using the site for its purpose (keeping up with friends, checking photos, commenting and whatnot) then you can't really get one...

a women from where his mrs works sent his mrs a message & when she clicked on the link in the message the computer got trojan'd up, because she didn't know that her account had been hacked & the account had automatically sent out the same message to all the friends on her friends list, i also got a message myself, but as i know about these sorts of things i didn't click on the link & knew it was a virus one so i deleted it & reported & also phoned up my mate to tell him.

Oh.. Well that's just a bit silly. Like the Twitter things.. You usually learn about them and then remember. Oh well.

      Radio 2 Schedule Changes

      By NathanS · Posted

      I must have missed that yesterday, sorry! Scott did make the same tongue in cheek comment on today's show about Rylan. It's a shame Rylan isn't the go to cover for Scott, I assume his commitments away from R2 prevent that. I enjoyed his last cover stint. Spoony is the go to stand in for the mid afternoon slot (he's covering again week after next while Scott's off getting married).   In that case, I think you're right!

      Not that last minute. Scott was talking about it on his own show yesterday, saying he and Rylan have a deal where they cover each other's shows but Rylan only covers Scott when he can be bothered!

      Sorry I should have been clearer, I meant daytime weekday. Weekend shows would count as a 'step up' from overnights for OJ.

      If we're counting the overnight slot, OJ Borg regularly covers weekend shows.

      The only weekday R2 DJ who would ever cover a weekend slot?!

      What I assume is a very last minute change... Scott Mills is in for Rylan today.

      Radio 1 Schedule Changes

      By TMD_24 · Posted

      Radio 1 at Parklife will be presented by Vicky and Nat. Nat is currently listed to present her usual Sunday show on that weekend but I imagine that will change and someone else will be doing it instead. The Radio 1 presenters at Download will be Daniel P Carter, Jack Saunders, Alyx Holcombe and Nels Hylton.

      Going Home with Vick, Katie and Jamie

      He’s definitely gotten better and the show has sounded fine this week. I think it been at its best when it’s been Katie and Jamie or Vick and Katie. Vick and Jamie are ok together, but I do think the show sounds better when it’s Vick and Katie and therefore I still don’t really understand the point of the trio.    Jamie is, however, a lot better than Danny Beard!

      The RAJAR coming on later this year reflecting later summer to autumn will be interesting to how it reflects Matt and Mollie in afternoons to the revised changes on radio 1’s new music slots and the schedule re-shuffling Radio 3 introducing a new slate of programmes. Then, later on this year have speech radio stations having domestic political coverage of the election but also America’s presidential election.

      Going Home with Vick, Katie and Jamie

      By xxladybarefootxx · Posted

      I actually caught snippets of today’s show, and I found it much better than the last time I listened. I have made it no secret that I like Jamie on the radio, I was surprised by how much I enjoyed Matt & him together last year. People have criticised him for not being relatable, but I have to agree with the comment above that I have always found him a naturally warm person to listen to. Maybe the going home set up was something that needed settling in and things are starting to take shape.  It must have been difficult for him joining an established duo in Vick & Katie to begin with.  Jamie was great on something songs today, fully engaged in the caller and sounded like a real presenter. Maybe he is doing as a lot of us hoped and really learning as he goes, how to do it properly.

      Agree with this. The anti-Jamie feeling was IMO quite influenced by the negativity around him replacing Jordan, since Jordan was exceptional and also universally loved. When people mention Danny and Jamie in the same sentence about bad hiring decisions I almost choke - Jamie may not be perfect but he's several leagues better than Danny already and has bags of potential. Danny is poor and has shown zero potential...

      Jamie started 4 March, and the figures only going up to 31 March, so it isn't reliable. But it has shown the numbers have dropped in afternoons compared to last quarter. It looks like it's Capital's gain.
