[footycard steve]

MSE found nothing,didnt run malwarebytes as i did a search and it said not to run in safe mode.

i have started microsoft essentials scan this morning in safe mode but it has red warning bar pc status at risk is this just normal with being in safe mode,lagerland yes i have done a factory re-set a couple of years ago when grizz helped me through it,after essentials has finished i plan to run malwarebytes but will i still be able yo update it before i run the scan?

by the way i'm using my old computer to get online.

Wouldnt bother with malwarebytes m8 does what is says picks up maleware not viruses.I really would go for the factory rest again m8 it will solve you problems once and 4 all........................

you said you did a system restore and it said it was not successful, try and do another system restore in safe mode this should help it has worked for me. Have you tried to google combofix if you do "ONLY" download it from [QUOTEhttp://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/combofix/][/QUOTE] no other site.save it to your desktop or move it to desktop, switch off your antivirus first, or maybe temporary disable it to a restart or something, and then close everything down. once you start combofix do nothing until your pc starts up again, this can take some time so be patient. Hope this helps.

i've just tried to restore to an earlier date and the earliest date it showed was the 20th sept so i went for that but after it had finished running i got this error message SYSTEM RESTORE DID NOT COMPLETE SUCCESSFULLY YOUR COMPUTER FILES AND SETTINGS WERE NOT CHANGED.
DETAILS
SYSTEM RESTORE FAILED TO EXTRACT FILE
(c;\windows\assembly\nativeimago_v2.0.50727\presen tationframewo#\90ad;
from the restore point.
the restore point was damaged or was deleted during the restore.

it gave me more options to try advanced etc but i just left it as i dont understand it and i'm certainly not advanced just very very basic on computers so it looks like a full factory restore is the only option, will i be able to save 7 zip etc to the memory stick and what about getting anti-virus and malwarebytes from new again after restore?

after the restore you done above do it again, ignore options shown switch off at mains and do another restore. another thing you need to try is go to program files have look see what has been added since the day before you done the above that can be connected to the "failed to extract file"" as above and delete. also clean the registry of any of the game and other stuff you downloaded. First go to Run type in regedit, click, then hkey local machine, then software, then look down list for what you think is connected, then delete. hope this helps.

Mipony is a downloader manager which installs a load of junk on your PC under the guise of helping you to download files quicker, often you will find a box next to the file you are trying to download that will let you download the file without using any download managers.

I am uploading the game for you here so you dont have to search for it again, I have tested it viruses and its clean as a whistle.

if you follow the instructions as well you wil be sorted in no time.

Download the zip file I have uploded for you
copy the folder footie to the root of your C drive
install Dos Box
when its finished installing click on the icon it has put on the desktop
a couple of boxes will open go to the one with the big blue box in it
type the following information in to it.

when you see Z:\>
type mount c c:\footie
so the line looks like this Z:\>mount c c:\footie
then press enter
it will say Drive C is mounted as local directory c:\footie\
Now type in C:\
sothe line will look like this Z:\>c:\
then press enter
The line will now look like this c:\>
now type in cmexe.exe
so the e line looks like this c:\>cmexe.exe
Then press enter

Your Game will now start

The security is stil intact in the game so if you look at the Championship Manger result code PDF File
it will give you the answers that the game asks before it runs properly

Have fun!!!

i had a pm from a junior member who said they had formatted a disc for me and was sending it out last monday after i gave him my address but since then nothing and he's not replied to my pm's, is there any chance this member was after my details (maybe in connection to the malware that had been found on earlier scans) or am i just a bit paranoid?

What disc (or indeed disk) has (s)he sent you (but stuck in mail?) and what do you think it might do?
Indeed what could he/she do with your name/address, this is public anyway, your name and address is at the local library (electoral register) anyway!

You downloaded a file from a website albeit with some added crap you decided 'oh hang on I wanted something for nothing' and then you had a bit of a panic when the added crap (quite correctly) said it was changing 'stuff' as it tried to remove itself - nasty stuff wont warn you! Your download originally warned you it was doing something - you just ignored that bit - we all do!)

I think you need to let the download manager uninstall itself and be done with it - none of your scans that find 300 things mean a damn thing unless you did them right before you do anything, as otherwise the 300 things might have been there all along...
