My yahoo instant messenger will not let me log into my account and message people. What is wrong?

I have tried repeatedly to uninstall and re-install yahoo instant messenger but it is still not working. I don't know anything about proxies so i don't have them. I have run full system scans to try to remove any existing viruses or adware but it is still not allowing me to log into my messenger at all.

Your system might be infected with one of Sohanad variants of viruses, just follow the simple instructions given in this web-page to get rid of it:

http://www.geocities.com/avsharath/Remov...

Also, as said in that web-page, install and use Firefox web-browser to avoid such virus/worm/spyware attacks in future. Link to download Firefox is given in that web-page itself.

This method has worked for myself and all my friends who had the same problem, so I'm sure it will work for you.
sign out and back in again

Also, the big ISP's usually provide all the above for free. Maybe your ISP does, too.

MYSPACE USERS..Are You Aware?

A banner advertisement posted on the MySpace Web site may have infected more than one million users with adware, according to security firm iDefense. The advertisement was included in user profiles on MySpace and could have been operating for about one week.

DO NOT OPEN..exp.wmf.

My Questionj is where you aware of this warning? and do you still use Myspace. Thanks

MYSPACE USERS..Are You Aware?cafe racer

Ransack and co used the new paring software to like the software of yahoo and messenger to feed a mydoom virus into the system of yahoo servers you will be lucky to see yahoo online within the next 2 days yahoo should have seen it coming

MYSPACE USERS..Are You Aware?free anti virus

As I understand it, one did not even to click on that banner to become infected. Only had to open the page.

Hey but if ppl become infected it is thair own damn fault. Microsoft issued a patch for the.wmf exploit last January!
Was not aware---thanks for the heads up here---will run a diagnostic for that puppy right away and without delay

I'm not at myspace much but I certainly can little afford some internet hijacker in the middle of my maserati ----something tells me if he's in here---my secretmaker is gonna do a toaster on his tail
Does it matter?....It's still myspace...rwar
MY SPACE is sooooo overrated its stupid yall all need to get over the phase and MOVE ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Should I trust my virus scanner?

I have Spy Sweeper ( Adware/Spyware Scanner ) and Trend Micro ( Virus Scanner/Fire wall )

Should I trust them? There not trials.

Should I trust my virus scanner?nortan antivirus

Yes, you're going about it the right way too. Use multi-layer programs such as 2-3 separate anti-virus and antispyware programs to insure that you don't get caught in the "easy system" mode.

By that, I mean using one program such as Norton Ant-Virus or any other all inclusive package as your sole security system. While these packages are usually very good, there is always one part that's better than another.

Don't gamble with your security always use multi-layered scanners to be sure you capture the latest and greatest viruses and eliminate them completely.

Should I trust my virus scanner?nortonantivirus

Yes use them. they are very helpful so you can check for viruses so they dont make your comp. crash.
Do you have other choice?
no. but no choice they are all the same
Yes they are good and in addition you should use Spy Bot S%26D. You can run this tool once per month or so. Be sure to update it before you run it.

Another tool is Advanced Windows Care. This as with S%26D will run with most other applications.

None are 100% but with these you cover most all attatcks.
si means yes
Yes you should. If you are good about updating them periodically for the latest viruses and spy ware, then you are pretty well covered.
If you keep your definitions up to date, and current, then you can probably trust your anti-virus program about 95%. Every anti-virus program, and spyware sweeper has some items it misses. Plus some popular programs have known holes in them and virus coders can find these out and exploit them.

So, are you safe? Well, probably... But just be cautious, and make sure you trust the source of where you get any files that you download.

Hope that helps.
There are many options to consider when choosing a Spyware or Virus scanner. All applications will tend to display different results, as a variety of different detection methods are used. If you are experiencing frequent pop up windows while browsing or are observing considerable performance issues with your computer, then these programs may not be effective.

If you keep them up to date then trust them.

Windows not seeing internal DVD drive HP Pavilion?

i have a HP DV4000 notebook with the factory DVD RW. Windows can no longer recognize it. There is no drive letter associated with it nor is it in the device manager. The bios is a little difficult to read and does not cleary state which part is associated with the DVD. Its not totally dead as disks do spin up when inserted. I think its just out of warranty (typical) so I am hoping its software related. System scans with adware and antivirus software have found nothing.

Windows not seeing internal DVD drive HP Pavilion?nortan

TRY INSTALLING IT AGAIN USING A CD IN ANOTHER DRIVE.

OR ELSE GOTO CONTROL PANEL.

ADD OR REMOVE HARDWARE.

LOOK INTO THERE.

Windows not seeing internal DVD drive HP Pavilion?noton

well,

if you had a windows xp installation cd,

you can try to restart the machine off the cd,

basically all you're trying to do is find out the dvd drive is reading...

if you don't have one,

try to go to safe mode and see if you're drive shows and allows access to it..

you may have to reload the drivers for the dvd..

Is there a computer wiz out there?

There's something wrong with my computer and now I can't view images online. Can someone help me, please? I don't really know what the problem is because i lent my laptop to someone and when I got it back it was chalk full of viruses and things. I had to run so many scans and do a whole lot of damage repair. I also have some pop-up and adware problems now, like this thing call trust cleaner? I even had to switch to Mozilla because when I use IE, and type something up into the search engine, any link that I click on would be redirected to some other page and Mozilla didn't do that . Without Mozilla, I probably wouldn't even be able to ask for help either. Does someone know what the problem is? Can someone please help me?

Is there a computer wiz out there?norten

yes email this to wyt3dr4g0n@yahoo.com in the subject line tell him candice referred you.

Is there a computer wiz out there?panda

It seems that alot of people want to lead you down the wrong path.Your browser has been highjacked.You have spyware that will take a QUALITY program to fix it.There are a million programs out there that simply don't work.Your computer would easy to get back to normal with better anti-virus/spyware software.If you can do a restore point or get WinAnti-virus or maybe Spybot Search and Destroy by Microsoft.Don't do anything drastic until you find and use better removal programs.
if it came back with loads of viruses and trojans etc, it might be easier to restore your laptop to factory settings. it will erase all your data (back it up first) but you'll be starting from scratch
ok here's what you should do. download hijackthis from here:
