JimM17 Posted October 16, 2003 Share Posted October 16, 2003 Ok, so a friend of mine (and yes i really mean a friend of mine and not me. (im not this retarded)) clicked on some link in someones profile and obviously accepted to install some software on their computer and now they have a link to www.realphx.com in their AIM profile. If they remove it, it just comes right back. I googled around a bit to try to see if anyone else has seen this to get rid of it but i was unable to find anything. I also tried run adaware to see if that might help, but it was unsuccessful. If i has access to the comp i know i could check for running programs and check the msconfig and see if there is anything unwanted in the startup but attempting to explain this to them would be pointless as they would not even be able to begin to understand it (not the sharpest tool in the shed if ya know what i mean). Anyone know of any step by step process guaranteed to rid a computer of this crap? some people just need to know better :no: thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
