Hi,

I am having a problem with one of my users on my home pc.
When I boot into it, the system tries to open exe files with adobe. I can't get into any resources because they are all exe like help or restore. I'm not sure how this happened. I tried to get into look at file assocations to maybe see what happened but I can't. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

You also need to download Spybot S&D 1.4 and perhaps MS Antispyware. Get them at and go to the downloads page.


And also you have Aurora and need to do the following:

Try this and make sure you are disabling System Restore:


Run the uninstall program. That works the best. If that doesn't work, try the following:

Download ewido:


Run this in safe mode:

During the installation, under "Additional Options" uncheck "Install background guard" and "Install scan via context menu".
Look at the left side of the main screen and click update
Click on Start and let it update.

Click on scanner and run a complete scan.

Hope this helps,

Erik

pechenegs,

Where is this file located that I need to edit?

you just download the hoster and click the option to restore original hosts and this will take care of all those host entries you have!

Thes eall need to be fixed, clicking hijack this to fix them won't fix them as they will return, hence using the hoster to restore the host file back to a clean state!

Your McAfee Virus Dif files will be out of date do to the hosts file re direct. get them up dated ASAP. The last PC that I fixed that had Aurora also had 30 Plus viruses Norton Corp had not been updateing because of the hosts file re direct.
