Pressing or holding the F8 key during Boot up of your PC should get you a menu which will give you the option of various Safe Modes. I would select command prompt only and then delete the offending file from there. In the very unlikely event that this virus is so nasty that it manages to prevent itself from being deletable in this situation then a professional removal tool will be needed from one of the virus protection companies. McAfee's products are more or less useless so they tend to have to supply such tools for free for the viruses their standard products can't otherwise remove which makes them a good source for such things. Googling Isass should get you started. Sorry to take so long to reply. I was away from the net for several days. Nothing is exactly what it seems but everything with seems can be unpicked.

And max out the memory. In other words, get a desktop instead.

Instead of Vista, get Linux. "Why don't you tie a kerosene-soaked rag around your ankles so the ants won't climb up and eat your candy ass..." - Dale Earnhardt, 1997 ----- "...the staggering layers of obscenity in your statement make it a work of art on so many levels." - Jason Jystad, 10/26/2001

Pour water onto the motherboard and note the color of the sparks. red=AGP, blue (and sometimes green) = PCIe.

Maybe we should start a Google For Oil program where they send over a couple million barrels of crude in exchange for the secret google URL.

If the measures suggested before do not fix the problem, have an electrician measure your mains. The problems might be related to brownouts or other voltage or waveform problems. If you don't want to pay an electrician, try to rent a dual-conversion UPS (or maybe another true-online UPS design) and see if the problem persists. Other than that, check your hardware for signs of failure (blown capacitors, cracks, visible tension on PCBs).

Thank you very much - I'm really starting to love this baby :)

Hi.. I like to ask you if you know any place(Training center,University) to learn Hardware programming so I could work for one of the Hardware companies or at least make a project for a small organization that sales devices(like GPS Tracking systems devices). I am too late but i will never give up

This should help: Continuous Reboot Before Login. Trinity: Neo... nobody has ever done this before. Neo: That's why it's going to work.

Anyway SAS is SCSI (SCSI over Serial) and Linux doesn't really care which type of physical wire connects the host adapter to the drive. Just pick a host adapter that has driver support in the "vanilla" kernel and everything should be OK.

It's a harmless message being received using the Network Messenger protocol, from the Messenger service. Go to the Services console in Control Panel, Administrative Tools and stop this service, then go to Properties for the service and disable it. The fact that the message is getting through shows you have no firewall - very dangerous - and the fact that the service is enabled indicates you are not running XP SP2, which means that you are not getting Microsoft's latest security updates. If you do not keep up to date and use a firewall, you run serious risk of your computer being compromised by one of the many attacks targetting remote code execution vulnerabilities in Windows and other software on your computer. I recommend that when you reinstall your PC, if your Windows disc is XP SP1 or RTM, UNPLUG FROM THE INTERNET FIRST - physically unplug your modem or router from the phone line or other outgoing connection (saves accidents). Then, after setting up your internet connection, turn ON the XP firewall under the network connection's Properties page, Advanced tab. Only then should you reconnect your internet connection. If you're not sure what version the Windows disc is, it doesn't hurt to do this anyway. If the disk is SP2, it will ask whether you want to enable Automatic Updates during the setup phase. Then go to Control Panel, Internet Options and click Use Blank under Home Page. This ensures that if your default page contains anything dodgy (generally unlikely, but if you have a customised version of IE on your install discs it could do something). As the very next thing you do, before doing anything else, go to Windows Update and download all the updates. Reboot when it tells you, keep doing this until XP SP2 and all the newer updates are installed. I normally opt-in to Microsoft Update so that Office, Visual Studio, SQL Server, etc are all kept up-to-date too. You should ensure you're running up-to-date anti-virus software. I use AVG - the free edition[^] is available for non-commercial use. Stability. What an interesting concept. -- Chris Maunder
