Gerrrrrrrrrrrrr. Dialer
 
Well I though I would be a good neighbour and let the kid next door us my puter as his is in gettin fixed. Came home today to find I now got a porndialer. nkvd.us to be exact.

I.ve tried to spybot and adaware but cant get rid of the sodding thing, so if anyone can help I'd by truely grateful. Though this will be the last time I let anyone but me onto this computer. :mad:

Thanks in advance.

Re: Gerrrrrrrrrrrrr. Dialer
 
Hijackthis or maybe cwshredder might work??

Try booting it up in safe mode and search for it then?

Re: Gerrrrrrrrrrrrr. Dialer
 
Well I've just run hijackthis, and as a result just deleated 20 or so registery entries with nkvd in them. So hopefully thats it sorted or I've just broken stuff.

So thanks for the help. ;) :D

Cool, hopefully that will be the end of it, if not, try updating adaware and running it again or spywareblaster etc
Might want to install spyware guard on it just in case lol

Perhaps you should think about blocking the rude sites with Norton Internet Security 2004 or something. :)

Russ D already gave you the answer i believe, you need to boot into Safe Mode and then use AdAware or Spybot to get rid of the dialer.

If you dont go into Safe Mode the file becomes "Locked" and there is nothing you can do with it.

How old is the kid next door?If he is 16 or under go embarrass him in front of his mother. :devsmoke:

If he is older I'm sure you can set up a really good revenge.Something along the line of incontinence pants. ;)
