add/remove programs
Hope someone can help me out here.There appears to be a
program running in the background of my machine.Every 10mins or so it executes(dl.exe and dlm.exe) and tries to connect me to a particular webpage.It has also set its self as my homepage.When i try to access add/remove programs or even internet options,the window flashes on screen for a few secs,and disappears!!I have also tried to delete dl.exe and dlm.exe from dos. but it does not allow me access.Can anyone tell me how to remove these programs which are causing me a great deal of problems.Thanks |

Try removing the attributes, either via DOS or Winfile. You may also need to remove the entries in the Registry. Do you have anything like a download manager, if so that may be part of it. Some web searches come up as a spybot/tracker. Id search the registry for DLM.exe and make note of what type of values it shows, look in HKLM or use Search/Find -- Sincerely, Andrew H. Carter |
