Man you are such a retard for thinking that was porn. Anyone that has a half a brain knows that what the last three characters of a file is what defines a file type. Oh my gosh, hopefully you will learn something from this. :laugh:

Hmmm...

Ok, here's my question. Is there any good way to determine what exactly this program does? Other than set my homepage to neowin (still can't figure this one out??) it doesn't seem to have done much else.

Any help would be apprechiated.

Priceless. Seems to me like a letter telling you it will be terminated IS notice.

Stop laughing at the guy, you ######. He asked a simple question, expected a simple answer. Nothing wrong with that. But for the lot of you to be insensitive, holier than thou jerkoffs, that's another thing entirely.

you don't get it they said they will terminate it in 3 days but they won't notify me exactly when. So I just cancelled my service and signed on with another isp.

agreed... fdisk, format c:, pack your clothes, move to the top of a secluded mountain, eat bugs and local foliage to sustain life, drink runoff or rainwater... or maybe you could melt snow... just not the yellow kind. Might wanna take a jacket, too. Oh and some boots.

I don't see why making fun of this guy is any cool. He was just being honest about the file and gave the right name so he could get a proper/better diagnosis of the problem. If you are all going to be immature and just hate on him for trying to get cheap thrills, then flaming people on internet message boards about a person's porn problems is way down on your list of problems.

First things first, do a netstat to see if any program is sending a lot of data i.e program you downloaded. Intall a firewall and block access to the internet from it. It could be from the RIAA but its unlikey its a bit of a crude program if its from them, its probably just a ****ty virus put there to scare u. Also dont call that number its most likely fake. Just a recorded message to keep u on the phone for ages and most likely a premium rate number. What are u going to say im sorry Paris Hilton i cant find your video on t'internet please will you make me and send me on or do me a private show ;-) if she does send it this way.

Not likely.. it's difficult to trace the steps of a programs actions. As long as the PC is behaving normally, you should be in the clear. All the same, it's a good idea to give your PC a once-over:

- Check to see if any new startup programs have been added to the registry.

- Check for new/odd services that may have been added to the system.

- Check your network traffic using the task manager.

- Use Netstat to check calls to specific net addresses and ports.

- Install a software firewall like ZoneAlarm to see if weirdo programs are attempting to gain access to the internet without your permission.

I would strongly advise you contact someone who actually knows that they are doing on the PC to carry out these suggestions. Consider also doing something about your n00b!e status by actually hanging out with said person on a regular basis.
