Ad-aware log
I was trying to update Ad-Aware. And I get an error dialog.
Since I have the free Ad-aware, I'm not sure where to turn. It claims to create a log. Can anyone suggest where I could look for its log?
--Dialog------
Ad-Aware.exe has generated errors and will be closed by Windows.
An error log is being created.
- You do get them? One doesn't want to be blaise though. If it tell you there's a log, then the dialog should be telling me something I can use. I assume it is Ad-aware that is providing this dialog message.I started Ad-aware again, and it hasn't said anything new.I then start a full scan. And so it goes. But in a few minutes, I notice another message. Apparently AVG resident shield is advising me "Virus Detected"... While openning file C:\Winnt\eg_auth_1041.dllTrojan Horse P2e.CCI Google that. Oh, guess what I find."Salut AVG détecte le virus trojan horse P2E.CC sur l'ordinateur de ma mèreAll I find is websites in French!Would you believe that? Got some catastrophic things going on on my PC, and one can't seem to find something in one's own native language.
- dale,spybot offers several download sites for its updates, all around the world. [on the update screen, the second entry is a drop-down menu, currently with 3 sites in Europe, one in Australia, and two non-classified, which I'm assuming to be in the USA]. more often than not, i've gotten a "bad checksum" message when i've tried to download from a distant/"foreign" location.... and have tended to be successful when i select a (relatively) "local" location.
I just use the default, think it is Europe Network #1 for Spybot, will try your suggestion next time. Not sure what would cause the writers problem with AdAware, but it seems to go away with another attempt.
Jodpur: It might be helpful to run a virus scan like Trend Micro's and a few others to see what it turns up, and also to post an HJT look to see if anything else is residing in your computer.
