URGENT! PC Help Required

[SK1NT]

Hi,

I have a major problem! My Parents have been on holiday and whils they've been away ive been using my step dads pc (who hates me) Anyway i don't know which of the dodgy sites ive been too ;o) but whenever i now try and access the internet i get the error

adp module: bargains.exe - Application Error

The instruction at "0x77f58ddf" referenced at memory "0x32017800". The memory could not be "written".
Click OK to terminate the problem.


Ive been searching the net and all says i need to pay money for spyware adware etc! and the free downloads find the viruses etc but then u need to pay to remove them! Is there anyway i can find this bargains.exe and remove it?


Cheers

that looks lie a spyware thing to me, download Adaware (google search) and run that, it should delete it. Also search your C: drive for bargain.exe and delete it and any folders that say Bargain (check them first though, if the exe is inside delete the whole lot). Then run a virus-scan to be safe.

cheers crabtree! i tried downloading adaware ran it here at work to test it! It was a free download, it installed fine, detected a few viruses and then request a credit card payment of £39.99 (or something) to remove the viruses! is there anyfree adaware

 

[ben andrews' girlfriend]

the adaware 6.0 has never asked me to pay for it

Ad Aware is free.

 

[Marc]

theres an ada-ware so you're probably getting mixed up, go to Wozzas link and download that

you could also run spybot to clean the registry
so that it doesn't re-load anything each time you power-up.

spy bot is also free

get it here



SpyBot

good luck

ps. if the OS is windows xp, then you could also try a system restore once you've used adaware & spybot

cheers guys! il try all these! baring in mind the error message doesnt let me access the web. If i download the setups from work save them to my flash memory and take them home and run them, will it install?

 

[Marc]

yeah that should work no probs, copy them off the flash onto the HD before installing though to be sure

Cheers Guys! Love ya all! you might have just saved my nuts
