Beta 1

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.security_admin (More info?)

Beta 1 found adware on my computer, I deleted as suggested. Beta runs every
night and for 4 days I deleted the same adware.
*I have not been able to update Beta since 4/17. It gives me error message
of "not being able to connect to internet" I have broadband and are
connected on the time. I can update other things.
Norton 2005 also found the same adware. I also deleted it there. But my
computer is slow and reboots by itself so something is still in there.
I also ran Ad-aware, Spybot, Spysubtract and CWShedder in attempt to fix it.
The adware found is " winsrm32.dll "
Any suggestions?

Also try doing your scan in safe mode without networking to make sure that
the malware is not running and reloading itself. Reboot, press the F8 key
over and over again during boot, and scan again.
