| Pornmaster Mike Senior Member  32DDD 1462 Posts 8/02 |  Posted - Aug 20 2005 : 9:44AMkind of an odd issue - i've never had this happen to me... my Opera browser won't load up... i click the icon to start it up and it seems to try to start but then halfway through it just gives up trying to open the browser but still runs the program at half speed... i checked the Task Manager to End Process but then there's a separate Opera .exe file that is 2,956K of Mem Usage - and everytime i end that process, about 5 seconds later, it just shows up in the Task Manager again... i also ran SpyDoctor and AdAware6 and got all the spyware that the programs could find... so, do I have a virus of some sort? thanks in advance for any help - Pornmaster Mike, "hunka, hunka!"

| cv Member My reviews[/url] 594 Posts 7/03 | Posted - Aug 20 2005 : 2:20PM Allegedly, some of these so-called security companies are getting paid off by the companies who write spyware to exclude their products from the scans, so you really need to run several. On my work PC, I have four spyware scanners plus Symantec antivirus (the defs are updated by my IS guys). It's actually quite sad. [Link] |
