Too many issues - not enough sledgehammers!

    Where do I begin?

    for some reason, the "User Account Control" keeps turning itself off. I
    then log on in the administrator account to turn it back on, restart,
    and everything is fine for about an hour, then it happens again. I have
    run my AV (I have Vipre) in the deepest scan it has, and removed any
    issues, but it keeps happening...

    I get this pop up that states that it's from microsoft, however the
    signature if I doubleclicked the .exe file is unknown, so it's
    cancelled... attached is a screen shot...

    Also, I have two 512 MB SD RAM cards (which I hope to change soon) but
    yet, the computer states that I only have 845 MB of RAM - not even
    enough to really run Vista...

    Spyware and adware don't get removed, and when it does, it's right
    back within an hour (Using VIPRE AV/AS)

    Registry errors, dll errors, more things than I can say right now...

    I'm ready to take a sledgehammer to this dang thing, and get a Mac.

    Does the term "You're INFECTED" mean anything to you? You'll have the same
    problems with a Mac if you continue to d/l stuff without knowing what it is.
    Boot to safe mode and run this. Then start using a real AV program.

    Ok, look. I don't d/l anything without knowing what it is. I'm not
    the only user on this computer - there isn't any need to get snarky.
    I'm not stupid and I understand I'm "infected." And which "real" AV
    program would you suggest? Kaspersky - crap. Panda - crap. Webroot -
    crap. Norton or McAfee - don't get me started. I needed an AV which
    wouldn't eat my entire CPU within seconds and crash the computer - read
    the rest of the message - so I can continue to actually use the PC.

    Thanks for ur help. I'll run it and let you know.

    Been hearing this excuse since the early 90's.

    I guess the sledgehammer comment was subtle.

    Looks like "getting started" isn't your problem. Expressing yourself in a
    professional manner is.

    AVG or Avast. Also, 1GB RAM barely runs Vista.

    Don't let it run too far. You might hurt yourself chasing it.

    Mac!? LOL Macs are getting viruses now ('cause they've gotten more popular)
    ... and Linux has more vulnerabilities than Windows (and if you don't believe
    me check the RedHat errata list - it's as long as your arm) .. maybe MS-DOS?

    Security by obscurity doesn't cut it anymore. You need to adopt good
    computing practices. It is possible to run Windows securely with little
    chance of getting infected - I do and many of the guys here do - but it does
    take learning the system a bit .. but if you are going to both do computing
    AND go about on the Internet, you should learn these things anyway .. .. and
    having learned, Windows is actually more secure than these other systems.

    Moving forward:

    Just my 2 cents .. Generally speaking, your system is hosed.

    You will have to think about how you want to recover it. First consult the
    manufacturer's recommendations, especially if the system in still under
    warranty. You may have a recovery partition on the machine etc. etc. Find
    out.

    Some people think that the best is to wipe and reinstall. This is more
    sure-fire than just attempting to delete infections, rootkits are quite
    sneaky etc. etc. As well, depending of course, attempting to remove these
    things can take more time than just wiping an reinstalling .. and they're
    sneaky, you will wonder if it is really gone every time an explorer window
    takes a little more time than expected to load.

    But sometimes wipe and re-install is impossible. You might consider someone
    in your town who has a good rep for removing these things. Otherwise it's
    the big box store tech dept. or do-it-yourself.

    With a complicated infections these days, what, with root-kits, trojans,
    spyware and a viruses all on there at once, do-it-yourself can be quite a
    journey - a quagmire of sorts - and in the end you have a dubious result. If
    you do take the machine somewhere, you might note that someone with a good
    rep and specializes in removal might be better than a big box store tech. If
    they just want to wipe and reinstall, you might be able to do as much
    yourself.

    Best is if you can back up documents and wipe and re-do the system.
    Preparedness helps in doing this. A little desire for confidence and some
    curiosity are also required. Get the hardware drivers etc. etc. beforehand
    burned to disc etc. (the manufacturer's website usually has the whole set
    for your computer model), make sure you have ALL the product keys etc. and
    application discs you need, plus any configuration info e.g. your phone
    numbers if you do dial-up etc. etc. Read up on partitioning and formatting.

    Take a Saturday, brew some java and by the end of the day you should be done
    (and have learned some about your machine to boot - pardon the pun).

    Once you have a working clean system set up and configured, consider
    creating a SYSTEM IMAGE. Windows Ultimate and all versions of the coming
    Windows 7 enable you to make a system image. If you don't have either, then
    look into 3rd party imaging software. Should anything go wrong, you can
    apply the image and be back up and running with all your apps etc. etc. all
    ready - no configuration needed - in under an hour.

    Saucy, I have a better idea. I'm heading to Home Depot to buy him a brand
    new sledgehammer.

    Yet another example of ignorance by non-Linux using users. Linux is the
    KERNEL only.
    For example - of the 104 vulnerabilities in RedHat Linux 5 Enterprise NONE
    are in the Linux Kernel - they are ALL in included applications such as
    Firefox and Thunderbird.
    Stop spreading FUD.

    Doesn't matter if it happens in the kernel or in an application, the
    platform takes the blame... same as in Windows.

    Blah blah blah blah blah blah .. it's just the kernel when if not Linux
    looks bad, it's the whole distro when some Linux zealot thinks it makes
    Linux look good. Do us all a favour and crawl back to C.O.L.A. and have
    yourself a nice day and long weekend.

    So you blame WINDOWS for the vulnerabilities in MS Word do you?
    Idiot.
    You just don't like it when someone points out that your head is so far up
    Bill's backside that you can't see anything at all. I suggest you get out a
    bit more. There's a whole new world outside Redmond, just waiting to be
    discovered.
