red_stag88 Posted February 7, 2004 Report Share Posted February 7, 2004 My Confuser has been playing up lately. But weird things have started to happen in the past few days. Sometimes a window closes on its own, yesterday my desktop changed without me doing anything, and today I try to open a program and a box comes up saying "Sorry dude, cant open that window" Help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wookie Posted February 7, 2004 Report Share Posted February 7, 2004 Do you want a professional's opinion? I'd say, whilst dragging on a roly, "It's ******** mate" and then charge you 25 quid an hour to fix it. seriously though, sounds like it's got problems with the operating system. When was the last time you took Windows off it and then re-installed? It could be that it's got a wee bit confused and killed something important.

red_stag88 Posted February 7, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2004 The thing which worries me is that it did really say "Sorry dude" I reinstalled windows about a year ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cranfield Posted February 7, 2004 Report Share Posted February 7, 2004 Do you have any SpyWare detection programmes ? Often the symptoms you describe, can be caused by a minor and partial hijack of your system. Run a spy ware check. Go to, http://www.webattack.com/freeware/freeware.html . Under the heading "Security/Privacy", click on "Anti-Spy tools". Scroll down until you find "SpyBot-S&D". Download this programme, it is free. Run it and it will show you all the items of spy ware on your computer. You can then ask the programme to delete them. I run a spy ware programme daily.

Cranfield Posted February 7, 2004 Report Share Posted February 7, 2004 I doubt that you have a virus, but it might be worth doing a free scan. This site will do that for you, http://www.ravantivirus.com/ Look at the bottom right hand corner of their home page. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadSpringer Posted February 10, 2004 Report Share Posted February 10, 2004 Try these online scans http://www.trojanscan.com/ http://www.pandasoftware.com/activescan/ If you are getting the message "Sorry dude" I suspect your PC is infected with a Win32 Worm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
