Hi, for some reason I am no longer able to run my V scanner, i got the
lastest update last week.
Since then when ever i scan my HD for viruses it will not ever finish.
For some reason my virus scanner is using over 1 GB of HD space during the
scan, I have no clue why and I cant regain that space ether, this happened 2
times already to I now have 2 GB of space used up by it and I can not get it
back!
Someone please help. if this keeps up I wont have any HD space left.

My V scanner is McAfee VirusScan

Nov 22, 2001, 1:40am

I just had this PC in the shop last month getting fixed due to a virus.
lost over half my files on my HD over that.
and the only things that I have downloaded since then was being in Active
Worlds and dreamland park.
The only files I have downloaded where the windows updates when they come
up.
And I check McAfee for updates once a week. and no viruses have ever shown
up yet.

your right people can get in your PC through open ports.
I have had a few times when someone from outside the AW browser tried to
accesses my world server.
In the world log it listed there IP they tried to get in, it said message to
long kicked out.
I am able to recreate it myself but I don't know if they did it that way or
not.
1 way I found out is to go in a web browser and do a http://IPaddress:7777
that will give the same post in the world log. "message to long kicked out"

ICQ is the worst thing out there.
1. its not safe
2. all people in the world that use icq know your ICQ number weather you
gave it to them or not.
3. its easily hacked to get at you!
4. To much dang porn urls coming over it from unknown users!
I would recommend AOL IM or Yahoo Messenger

What is the best way to litter train a ferret? I have been trying sence
April lol.
I do have a corner litter pan and she's not using it, keeps going in the
front left corner, if I relocate the litter pan to that corner she goes in a
new corner.
Any ideas?

Nov 29, 2001, 4:15am

When mine bites it is only playing, it don't even hurt.
I have not had any problems with her biting me hard.
Im not saying it can't happen, but if it dose its probably something you did
and not realizing you did anything, all animals give show warning signs when
they don't want to be bothered if you don't see it or don't know how to see
it that's your fault not the animals fault.
They don't have to make any noise to warn you, there is body language to you
got to pay close attention to.

Hi, I made some new folder icons and I need to know how to set then up on a
(new ""folder"" type)
I already created it at a registered file now I need to know what actions to
add to make it act like a "normal" folder.
When I click on it , it will not open
Note I need it to act just like a "normal" folder would so I can store files
in it.
I know how to make a new file type I just never made a new folder type
before.

Nov 23, 2001, 5:58pm

If only I could see the action properties for the normal folder type I could
do it, but the normal folder action properties are grayed out :-(

I have never got any spam from anyone using hotmail.
All emails i get come from places I selected to get mail from.
I never got porn in mine.
Your said you didn't give it out to anyone, thats strange for that to
happon.
"thinking" it might be possible by some slim chance you created a hotmail
addy that someone had in the past. If you don't log in at least 1 time evry
30 days or so, your account is fully removed. You might have picked the same
name as that someone that desided to let there account go or somthing and
you activated that and got all his or her junk flooding in.
hotmail dose have a block feature now.

Hi, I sent this same message to my local PC repair guy and he responded with
bring it in, I do not have the money to keep taking it in evry few months,
no one on this world dose!

Can anyone in here please help me fix these 2 problems.
Note: most of this post is me talking to the repair guy when I say "you" I
do not me any of you here in the NG's.
Ok here is my 2 problems.

1st

I need to know how to get my CD-ROM working 100% again.
we are the ones that had our PC down with you for the CD-RW problem to find
that the CDRW was bad.
ever sence we got it back from you our CD-ROM is acting up.
Some times it will read CD's and some times it will not
I tried to reinstall the CD-ROM drivers that didn't help any.
The CD-ROM was working great intill we got it back from you.
Could there be something you might have forgot to reinstall?
Music CD's play fine, its the data CD its doing this to.

2nd

This is really bugging me still.
I know its not a virus but something really likes to use up 1 GB of space
and there is no way I can get any of that back.
3 GB lost to this now.
can you give me a list all all possible things that could be doing this.
This is really getting crazy please help.
none of my program log files or cache folders are doing it because they are
all set not to go over 50KB
what ever it is its using up 1GB every few hours, even when I delete stuff
and fully remove it from my hard drive I loose space instead of getting some
back.
You did replace our old hard drive, could this new one have bugs on it or
something?
I never heard of this going on before.

Whats not being read at time are normal store bought program CD's {games and
divice setup CD's}
This never happoned till I last got it back from the repair guy

the drive, not sure why.
It fixes them errors then i run it again to make sure and it finds more and
more to fix. thats always been doing that ever since I 1st had this PC must
be a bug in the scan disk or something.
Im now to the pont where I keep geting out of room on hard drive errors. now

My file system is FAT32
I don't have Norton Disk Doctor only McAfee VirusScan
Im not that good with DOS commands
All my .tmp files combine are well under 2MB
Last time I had my PC in for fixing I had to get the hard drive replaced,
lost many programs over that. {wonders if this new one could be bad}
My CD-ROM has been constantly used almost daily for about 3 years.
My internet cache is set to never go over 50MB and it always auto cleans it
self daily.
My AW cache is set to never go over 100 MB I delete that about once each
week.
I can't run my V scaner anymore ether, when i tell it to do a full PC scan
it stops about half way because something during that scan used up 1 GB,
thats where the problem started.
So im stuck scanning with some online scanner.

For defrag to work 100% with no problems you must close all running
programs.
do that ctrl alt and delete 1 time and close out everything in their. you
might get an error or to but that's fine for now, next pause the task
scheduler then disable any screensavers and make sure you don't have you PC
set to turn off the HD when your idle, after that run scandisk because
defrag will not run if there are errors on the drive. After it runs and
fixed all errors then start the defrag and leave your PC alone till its
done.

McAfee.com has seen an OUTBREAK of computers infected with
W32/Goner at MM, also known as Pentagone, Goner or Gone. This
is a NEW, HIGH RISK virus that spreads via Microsoft Outlook
email and ICQ instantmessaging programs. This mass-mailing
worm will arrive from someone you know with the following
email message:

Subject: Hi

Body: How are you ?
When I saw this screen saver, I immediately thought about you
I am in a harry, I promise you will love it!

Attachment: GONE.SCR

Goner has a DESTRUCTIVE PAYLOAD. When the attachment is
opened, it will look for a variety of anti-virus, firewall
and other security programs and attempt to delete them,
along with ALL FILES in the same directory. This worm
will also place a trojan, REMOTE32.INI, on the system, which
contains instructions to attempt Denial-of-Service attacks
on other IRC users.

For detection and removal instructions for the
W32/Goner at MM virus, click here.
