Noel,
I have posted my Hijack this loge to the Aumha form. Will keep you up on the reply when I get one. I am wondering still why this would happen when I tried to install the critical updates? I also regularly run 3 different anti-spyware regulary run my antivirus program, have a firewall on my router, and use Zone Alarm. Yes CWShredder did seem to find something the first time but then was coming up clean. Nothing else found any bugs. (still waiting for AumHa results) Could my computer actually just be caught in a "soup" like Joan first suggested? Perhalps it would be best to answer this after I get the results, but I do wonder? -----Original Message----- That was my concern - and it looks as if it may have been justified if CWShredder is finding something....

I've responded there with my comments, and a little more background data for
the guys - not a lot I could see was wrong. What type on Internet connection are you using? - does it need UPNP (Universal PlugnPlay)?? - don't confuse this with the ordinary PlugnPray we all use - it's normally only for external devices such as web-enabled televisions, fridges, etc.., and perhaps routers. -- Noel Paton (MS-MVP 2002-2005, Windows) Nil Carborundum Illegitemi http://www.btinternet.com/~winnoel/millsrpch.htm http://tinyurl.com/6oztj Please read http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm on how to post messages to NG's "Noel Paton" wrote in message ...

Noel,
Not being 100% sure what the difference is between UPNP and ordinary PlugnPlay are I thought it best to let you know what hardware I am using etc. My internet connection is ADSL provided by AOL (UK). I believe they use BT (British Telecom) My router is a Linkisys Wireless-G ADSL Gateway. Model number WAG54G (UK) I use a Linksys Wireless-G Notebook Adapter. Model number WPC54G. Linksys is a division of Cisco Systems. http://www.linksys.com http://support.linksys.com I noticed your comments on AumaHa, I am not sure what KonTiki networks is? I will have a look at Spybot. When I used CWShredder the first pass, it did not actually say what the problem was just that I have a may have something (sorry can remember exactly what it said) in the memory -----Original Message----- I've responded there with my comments, and a little more background data for the guys - not a lot I could see was wrong.

I was able to get rid of the p2esocks_1014.dll problem by
checking O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [Instant Access] rundll32.exe p2esocks_1014.dll,InstantAccess on the HijackThis log and deleting it. (found this idea in another msg board).

randomly removing components is NOT a good idea!
p2esocks_1014 however does appear to be associated with some form of spyware (although I've been unable to find out exactly what - ah, gotcha! - it's a porn diallerg) Have you tried installing the update while in Safe Mode? Try a SCANREG /FIX first, then reboot (again) to Safe Mode and install from there -- Noel Paton (MS-MVP 2002-2005, Windows) Nil Carborundum Illegitemi http://www.btinternet.com/~winnoel/millsrpch.htm http://tinyurl.com/6oztj Please read http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm on how to post messages to NG's "Connolly" wrote in message ... I was able to get rid of the p2esocks_1014.dll problem by checking O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [Instant Access] rundll32.exe p2esocks_1014.dll,InstantAccess on the HijackThis log and deleting it. (found this idea in another msg board). WinME service pack 6 will still not load so there has to be more problems somewhere. -----Original Message----- Can be a while, as people tend to research their answers first - I'll ping some and see what response I get. -- Noel Paton (MS-MVP 2002-2005, Windows) Nil Carborundum Illegitemi http://www.btinternet.com/~winnoel/millsrpch.htm http://tinyurl.com/6oztj Please read http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm on how to post messages to NG's "Connolly" wrote in message ... Still no reply on Aumha Forms. A number of people have looked at it. How long before you usually get a response? -----Original Message----- Noel, Not being 100% sure what the difference is between UPNP and ordinary PlugnPlay are I thought it best to let you know what hardware I am using etc. My internet connection is ADSL provided by AOL (UK). I believe they use BT (British Telecom) My router is a Linkisys Wireless-G ADSL Gateway. Model number WAG54G (UK) I use a Linksys Wireless-G Notebook Adapter. Model number WPC54G. Linksys is a division of Cisco Systems. http://www.linksys.com http://support.linksys.com I noticed your comments on AumaHa, I am not sure what KonTiki networks is? I will have a look at Spybot. When I used CWShredder the first pass, it did not actually say what the problem was just that I have a may have something (sorry can remember exactly what it said) in the memory -----Original Message----- I've responded there with my comments, and a little more background data for the guys - not a lot I could see was wrong. What type on Internet connection are you using? - does it need UPNP (Universal PlugnPlay)?? - don't confuse this with the ordinary PlugnPray we all use - it's normally only for external devices such as web-enabled televisions, fridges, etc.., and perhaps routers. -- Noel Paton (MS-MVP 2002-2005, Windows) Nil Carborundum Illegitemi http://www.btinternet.com/~winnoel/millsrpch.htm http://tinyurl.com/6oztj Please read http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm on how to post messages to NG's "Noel Paton" wrote in message .. . I'll go have a look at your post in aumha..... -- Noel Paton (MS-MVP 2002-2005, Windows) Nil Carborundum Illegitemi http://www.btinternet.com/~winnoel/millsrpch.htm http://tinyurl.com/6oztj Please read http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm on how to post messages to NG's "Connolly" wrote in message ... Noel, I have posted my Hijack this loge to the Aumha form. Will keep you up on the reply when I get one. I am wondering still why this would happen when I tried to install the critical updates? I also regularly run 3 different anti-spyware regulary run my antivirus program, have a firewall on my router, and use Zone Alarm. Yes CWShredder did seem to find something the first time but then was coming up clean. Nothing else found any bugs. (still waiting for AumHa results) Could my computer actually just be caught in a "soup" like Joan first suggested? Perhalps it would be best to answer this after I get the results, but I do wonder? -----Original Message----- That was my concern - and it looks as if it may have been justified if CWShredder is finding something.... Connolly It's time to bring out the big guns, I think....look here for the instructions for the next stage - http://forum.aumha.org/viewtopic.php?t=4075 - read. learn and inwardly digest that, then follow the instructions, and post the resulting log to the forum for analysis. Good Luck! -- Noel Paton (MS-MVP 2002-2005, Windows) Nil Carborundum Illegitemi http://www.btinternet.com/~winnoel/millsrpch.htm http://tinyurl.com/6oztj Please read http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm on how to post messages to NG's "Mike M" wrote in message ...
