:bigthumb:nope, that was normal. I'll run DDS again.
Ben Edelman http://blogs.zdnet.com/Spyware/?p=858This software is not a virus or a Trojan. It is detected as a "potentially unwanted program" (PUP). PUPs are any piece of software that a reasonably security- or privacy-minded computer user may want to be informed of and, in some cases, remove. PUPs are often made by a legitimate corporate entity for some beneficial purpose, but they alter the security state of the computer on which they are installed, or the privacy posture of the user of the system, such that most users will want to be aware of them.
It is advised that you uninstall this program to protect your privacy and computer security and to free up necessary resources. To uninstall the AskToolbar.I discourage users from running Ask's toolbars for two reasons. First, Ask moves the browser's Address Bar from top-left (where it is found in every browser I've ever seen) to top-right. Ask puts its own search box in the top-left. So Ask's software makes it highly likely that users will accidentally conduct searches when they intend simply to navigate to sites they request by name.
Second, Ask's toolbar leads to landing pages that are objectionable in their own right. Ask's landing pages show ten ads - ten! - above the first organic result. On a 800×600 screen, that means 2 full pages of ads, plus a little bit more after that, all before the first organic result. That's ridiculous. No user deserves that, especially since organic results are safer than sponsored links.
Ahh, okay...Sorry to be unclear. It CLOSED the explorer window at 9%. I was just sitting there watching it the third time because I had walked away at 8% thinking it would be awhile the first couple times and realized something weird was happening.
Not sure on the Firefox issue.Oh, and Firefox has crashed 4 times the few minutes I've been on. And I just got a message that CTF Loader has a problem and has to close. Don't even know what that is.
Do you have a file name and location?ESET found the same worm at about 31% then the computer crashed a minute later.
