Pain in the arse My mate was using my PC last night and whilst trawling through various porn sites he's somehow installed something to my windows bar. I keep getting a popup message saying i have critical errors blah blah blah and i have an annoying icon flashing away next to my firewall icon. When i click on it i get directed to this. I've ran adaware, spybot, windows defender and AVG and it hasn't removed it, any ideas?
Mine got ripped with spyware recently, think I've got rid of most of it, but what an arse. Try disconnecting yourself from the internet, restart in safe mode, run all the spyware stuff. Restart again, and let them run before windows does. If it's still there, check which ones the spyware progs can't delete and google them. Also, you can use Hijack This to pick off programs you know are spyware from your googling/spyware progams.
Re: Re: Pain in the arse Nah seriously, if it was me i would have just said. I have enough frankie vaughn without going on those spyware riddled sites

These all look dodgy to me, especially ScsiAccess. Most machines don't have a SCSI controller and even if they did, they wouldn't be running a program interface for it. Go into your control panel and try add/remove programs, uninstall anything you see that looks dodgy, (like any toolbar or advertising bollocks), my cousin had the same problem and I spotted it nested in his installed programs.
