Pipas.A :(

Thanks

Describe the problem in as much detail as possible,
Is it just that browsers are slow or is it the PC in gerneral ?


Mirc is a false possitive
Lets go see what other programs think about these two
C:\Program\Mozilla Firefox\plugins\npclntax.dll
C:\WINDOWS\system32\actskn45.ocx
By submiting each here http://www.virustotal.com/flash/index_en.html
 
Well it's not like the computer is slow in windows or anything, or that programs take long time to load (I have a P4 3,2ghz and 2gig ram), it's just that I'm experiencing some slowdowns in gaming which I've never had before. I can tell the difference. Oh, I also get this problem that I also got before when I had the Pipas.A spyware on my system. Sometimes when I boot into windows, explorer.exe doesn't start, meaning that the only thing that shows up is my background picture, nothing else. So I have to open the task manager and open explorer.exe manually. But when I do that, the only thing that opens is windows, but all my programs such as Zonelabs Firewall and Avast! Antivirus don't load like the usually do at startup. So I have to reboot again.

Okay I'll try those two files (C:\Program\Mozilla Firefox\plugins\npclntax.dll
C:\WINDOWS\system32\actskn45.ocx).

Oh, and what do you mean by "a false possitive? How come you only think those two are spywares? Didn't the scanners I used yesterday detect like 34 spywares or more?

Thanks a lot for your help so far, I appreciate it.

Thanks

Ok delete both of them while all browsers are closed, any problems deleting them do so while in safe mode.
 
Done! I could delete them both without going into safe mode.

But were those two the only problems you could find in all these scans I made? If so, great! Thanks a bunch mate!
 
The others were just cookies,

Give it a few days then post back again to let us know how its acting.

"slowdowns in gaming" perhaps check and see if your video card has a new version of its software.

Not sure it would help but Have you done any basic PC maintenance lately ?
as in run chrdisk and defrag
Start > Run > type in cmd
At the command prompt type in chkdsk C: /r
or whichever drive you want to check > Enter
Accept the message that chkdsk will run at the next reboot.
Restart your PC
Then run Disk Defragmenter
Start > Programs > Accessories > System Tools >Disk Defragmenter
 
I have the latest drivers for my graphics card, so that's not the problem. I'll try to sort the gaming thing out myself. I defragment my computer once or twice every week, so that's alright too. But I haven't tried the chrdisk thing, so I'll try that just incase.

Thanks a lot for your help Lonny!!
