It's the car companies themselves. Now imagine a VW Golf being sold here in the U.S. under the name VW Rabbit.
I had a white Rabbit diesel for about 10 years until the body rusted away to nothing and it had about 250,000 miles on it then I bought a Datsun Fastback that was a disaster as it rusted out in 3 years so I bought a Golf that lasted about 10 years.

I'd hate to be a giraffe with a pin in its neck although I'm sometimes that around here thoughTo be honest abu, I am more worried about your giraffe's ability to walk

I don't believe Hotmail cookies are stored in .sol files.
They are stored in these cookies:
c.live.com
c.msn.com
home.live.com
live.com
login.live.com
p.live.com
I'm not sure which is the main cookie but these are my live cookies I keep.

Keep your anti virus definitions up to date as removing Virut is not easy
http://miekiemoes.blogspot.com/2009/02/vir...s-throwing.htmlVirut and other File infectors - Throwing in the Towel?I actually wanted to blog about this last week, but didn't find the time yet...
In the last couple of weeks, I noticed a HUGE increase of Virut present on computers. As a matter of fact, 30% of the infected computers I analyzed were infected with Virut. This is bad, really bad... :-(
Virut is a Polymorphic File Infector that infects .EXE and .SCR files. It opens a Backdoor by connecting to a predefined IRC Server and waits for commands from the remote attacker - for example to download/run more malware on the compromised computer. Emails may be harvested as well.
This latest variant may also search for htm, html, asp and php files on the drives and modifies them by inserting an iframe that points to a malicious website. So you can already imagine what may happen if the owner is a webdesigner and uploads the infected webpages.
An excellent write up on this latest variant (and previous one) can also be found here (by Nicolas Brulez): http://securitylabs.websense.com/content/Blogs/3300.aspx

As much as I like U2 I won't be venturing to myspace.com as it is a magnet for malware purveyors to try out their latest concoction of mayhem on download junkies:
http://www.siteadvisor.com/sites/myspace.com
Stick to reputable sites like Amazon.com and their site:
See:
http://hosts-file.net/default.asp?s=myspace.com
I realise that blocking MySpace is causing quite alot of controversy. However, as I stated here, MySpace has been and continues to be both a major source of malware, and a breeding ground for perverts. I hope you can appreciate this. If you'd like to access MySpace anyway, you are free to unblock these entries. -

Impersonation is a form of flattery by itself, however, not when it comes to the very latest round of rogue security software this time impersonating ZDNet, CNET?s and PC Magazine?s reviews section, making it look like legitimate and highly respected technology sites have actually reviewed and recommend the rogue security software.

I really think that it's a fake picture. But then again, i really can't see why there couldn't be REALLY big snakes...somewhere.
Have you watched Anaconda?

I don't have Vista nor Comodo but there are 2 rules I live with that has served me well.
1: Do not have 2 active anti virus scanners active as they will be competing for the same system resources and at a minimum interfere with each other or at a maximum cause the system to become unstable.
Some anti virus applications do not live well together because their resident drivers conflict so if I want a second anti virus opinion then use an on-line scanner or download a bootable stand alone scanner:

http://forum.avira.com/wbb/index.php?page=...;threadID=82163
2: Do not have 2 software firewall applications installed as they interfere with each other.
I'll be getting my Vista system next week and Comodo will never use up a single byte of its huge (to me) hard drive.

For some reason, when I use JavaRA at work on users' computers, it doesn't always take update 7 off... It's always 7 that it has problems with so I manually remove it in Add/Remove
I'm not sure who the operating system question is targeted for but currently I am on my XP Home system.
All releases of Sun Java prior to Version 6 Update 12 left remnants and that is why JavaRa was made.

I found it
[*Yahoo Messenger (Logs/Cache)]LangSecRef=3022Detect=HKCU\Software\Yahoo\pagerDefault=TrueFileKey1=%ProgramFiles%\Yahoo!\Messenger|ypager.logFileKey2=%ProgramFiles%\Yahoo!\Messenger\Profiles|*.*|RECURSEFileKey3=%ProgramFiles%\Yahoo!\Messenger\Cache|*.*|RECURSEFileKey4=%ProgramFiles%\Yahoo!\Messenger\IMVCache|*.*|RECURSE
Note: I think that this is always true.
Should be

I think there needs to be an owner of winapp2.ini that is kept updated with the CCleaner changes.
I do not have *Yahoo Messenger on my system neither so:
Hi Ho.
Hi Ho.
Its off to winapp2.ini I go.

I'm in agreement with kmillerusaf. I think he is right.
I don't remember the publishers being there before.

I don't like imageshack images!
When the image finally showed up I see that you have multiple vulnerable Sun Java installs.
Go to Add/Remove Programs and un-install all Sun Java installs.
Download JavaRa then unpack it then run it to remove Sun Java remnants:
Download and install Version 6 Update 12:

Run Secunia Online Software Inspector to find other vulnerable applications:

I do not have a problem reading my email in OE nor Hotmail after running CCleaner and I discussed it here:
http://forum.piriform.com/index.php?showto...&hl=hotmail
I don't use Firefox and I believe that it should be Thunderbird that reads email.
I also see that there are several reports of Thunderbird not being able to retrieve email because the anti virus application has blocked email reception.

dianev, what is the operating system and Service Pack level installed?
-
bonyolddoc, winantivir2009 is from the antivirus2009 gang and is a bit of nasty work.
On a non-infected system download Malwarebytes MBAM:
http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php
This infection is so nasty that the latest versions are built to detect MBAM and cripple it so you need to install it on a Flash drive or burn it to a CD after renaming it to bonyremove.exe or something like that so that it is not detected then install it on the infected system then do an Update and run a Quick scan then let it remove whatever it finds and a reboot is probably required to remove locked files.

Yes, I found stopzilla.com in the hpHosts file listing. Thank you for the information.
What spyware software do you recommend?
I use Malwarebytes MBAM, Windows Defender updated daily from its portal and WinPatrol:
