I was managing some things on youtube, and was going to upload a video. I clicked an active-X control download box, and kept it on the side. I then went to look at a video. When I turned to accept the download, I ended up getting this. I immediately terminated the process of internet explorer, because I knew right away that the virus scan was a hoax. It was an internet explorer browser, and it did not have the form of my vista skins. It was not working as a windows explorer internal object.
But as I closed this stuff out, I took some screenshots. I am curious as to how accurate and quickly some hacks are operating right now. Does this occasion, while being protected by Avast mean that I am at any time easily compromised?
Now that you have learned how to do that I hope that you don’t post complete screen captures like the original poster, a real pain in the a**e for the poor saps on dial-up. Crop images to show what is relevant and ditch the irrelevant and use the .gif format which keeps file sizes lower and the quality is still fine for web page display.
Been a little while since this issue. My computer was slowed down after the little incident, but not damaged. I ran Window Washer from Webroot, and did disk defragmenter and everything was fine. But for some reason, visiting my own account page on youtube is slowing me down incredibly. I ran window washer again, and you need a very quick eye to catch it. But in the cleanup bar, something displayed as “WIN32tracksimpl.exe” as it flew by. It was too fast to screenshot, but I closed window washer to try and reset it to get a screenshot. The file was already cleaned from temporary, and my computer is up to speed. What is that format generally for?
ALT + F4 is an override command, it just closes the current window without exceptions. That can damage things. Unlike CTRL +ALT + DEL that is the manager. (Also an override?)
