My virus scan picked up eed.exe
Comments (6)Sharon can you use the computer you are reporting here on to download the programs grandms suggests? Save them to a thumb drive or external drive, heck even burn them to a CD. Anything to get you underway. To get the latest AdAware definitions after you have downloaded the program itself click the link below and save this to your thumb drive. Install AdAware then double click on defs.zip on the thumb drive, click to open. It will not be recognised but you are invited to browse to the right program. Browse to C:\Program files\Lavasoft\AdawareSE Personal\ and click on Adaware.exe, click OK and the latest definitions will be installed. Now run AdAware. There will be a similar procedure if you elect to update the other prorams using that method. However you might find after AdAware cleans up you can get online for the updates which will be easier for you.

Comments (2)I would make a guess that the virus modified or installed a registry key which is calling for the virus during boot and kicks out the error message when it can't start the virus program. You could spend a lot of time trying to find the right key to delete it, or you could try a registry cleaner. If you want to try the latter, I'd suggest running the cleanup and registry functions in CCleaner. Just be sure to backup before cleaning the registry.

Comments (3)It's good to see you back, Jamie. I was a little concerned since your last post sounded like you were very down, then you didn't answer after all the replies. I hope you're hanging in there and will enjoy being on-line again!...See MoreI got a virus from a link on this discussion area. Non-stop pop-ups.
Comments (0)I don't remember which thread, but I know it was here. I have a mac - just a PSA if you are getting non-stop pop-ups....See MoreAnnie Deighnaugh
