If you run mIRC on a continual basis then do not allow people to send you files via CCP.

Configure it to; Only accept on request.

If you are unsure of how to set it let me know.

[Dee_Collins]

What is mIRC and what is CCP? if you dont mind me asking, I dont really know too much about pc's

[Wolfeymole]

You have an entry in your previous post listing this;

A0148424.exe program.mIRC.616

mIRC is an acronym for Internet Relay Chat and part of that software allows CCP (Client to Client Protocol) file sharing in other words.

You must have installed mIRC software at some period Dee.

So what do I need to do now and how do I do it?

[Wolfeymole]

Can I just hark back and ask why all system files etc are on D: rather than C:

What happened to make you change the drive letter?

[AdvancedSetup]

Okay Dee, the computer should be running good enough now to do the full scan, cleanup routine.

Please follow these instructions in the exact order. You can ignore the Tea Timer as I don't think you have it running.


Your computer could be infected with Malware.

• Malware is software designed to infiltrate or damage a computer system without the owner's informed consent.
  It is a combination of the words malicious and software.
  The expression is a general term used by computer professionals to mean a variety of forms of hostile, intrusive, or annoying software or program code.

• Required Cleanup Steps
  1. Disable the Spybot Search & Destroy TEA TIMER if you use it and if it is enabled
  2. Run a Temporary file and cache cleaner (ATF)
  3. Run 2 Anti-Malware scanners (Listed Below)
  4. Run an Online Anti-Virus / Anti-Malware Scanner (Listed Below)
  5. Clear out old System Restore points
  6. If continued Malware type activity is present you may be asked to post a TrendMicro™ HijackThis™ Log file, do not do so unless requested.

The reason to run multiple scanners is to ensure that no single scanner is missing something.
The time it takes will vary depending on your system and your internet connection speed.
Typically the SUPERAntiSpyware and Malwarebytes scanners will take between 10 to 90 minutes.
The ESET online scan should take between 1 to 3 hours.
In most cases, these scans will suffice to clean and disinfect your computer.
Heavily infected systems or slower PCs can take much longer to scan and clean.

Basically a few years ago we had kazaa on the pc, and it really screwed things up and we had to send it it to someone to be fixed and they changed everything over to D Drive for some reason (to be honest we dont really know why)

[Dee_Collins]
