Defrag issue...

[LazyPup]

Prevously i noticed the light flashing on the hard drive even when i was off line and all applications closed, so while running the virus scans i have been disconnecting the LAN cable to insure no spyware could be running that would interfere with the scan. This seemed to help tremendiously when running the spyware scans.

I am now going to try the scan you suggest and will let you know how it works out.

Also download the Microsoft Antispyware Beta and see what that finds...list out the objects found.

Your HD light can still run while offline...that is normal periodically.

Thanks, Test123, I'll do that, too.

I downloaded the ccleaner from an overseas site. It seemed to install correctly - Today my mcafee virus scanner picked up on it. Along with the download the virus trojan Prockill-DF came along for the ride. Mcafee states it's a low risk virus. The running program file is ccsetup125.exe. Remove it from your system. We don't need virii. When you've uninstalled or otherwise deleted the file go into your registry and do a file search and delete all references to it. Go to START, then RUN. In the window type REGEDIT and press enter or OK. In the search window that pops up type ccleaner then SEARCH. Any entry that comes up with ccleaner in it DELETE the file then press F3 to search again. Do this as many times as needed. This will flush out your system registry.
