I was wondering if these signs might be any kind of virus or other adware. Ok first my cd drive just opens by itself. Then all of a sudden firefox opens and takes me to my home page. Spyware Doctor and Ewido have found no adware and i am going to do a scan with avast. I just would like to know if this is a sign of malware infection.
It sure is. I suggest you follow the instructions on THIS PAGE
ok i downloaded spybot and adaware adaware found 4 critical objects and spybot found nothing. Adaware found negligible objects a tracking cookie and 3 registry entries they were whenu desktop toolbar. Avast just finished scanning and it found no viruses.
Can you post more info about them? File name, path, Registry key, etc.?
adaware doesn’t tell me any more info
I would encourage you to post an Ad-Aware logfile on
the forums at www.landzdown.com/index.php. It is staffed
by the experts who used to advise on the now-defunct
Lavasoft Ad-Aware Support forums .
This is nice to know since I use Ad-Aware, thanks. Your link doesn’t work because it has the symbol ; at the end of it.
ok thanks for the help.
I changed the wording, so the link works now .
