Most a nuisance, but I don't think it's simply MS 'bug' or my OEM mouse software, or even my settings for text size and coloring of opened windows, their fonts, pages or text coloring.Īlthough therein, I've yet to crack the nut for why my preferred scheme often prevents me from seeing many website's search and/or dialog boxes. Indications I have malware are Opening a blank Word doc, takes nearly 30 seconds, or at least 15 secs, Windows Media Center freezes for several minutes, especially if I refuse to use it in full screen and either way, it freezes for minutes when trying to say, stop a recording and trying to view the tv guide, forcing me to use task master to end the program.Īgain other concerns lending to malware, are as mentioned, many-most opened folders balk at allowing me to cursor and click file>open, sometimes I'm forced to double click the highlighted file instead. However it's subsequent scan came up clean. I ran MBAM again as instructed here (indeed I'd overlooked it's setting for rootkits). The link so kindly afforded (while I failed to scroll it's entirety past 'moderator names') does lists some instructions for MBAM, etc. I say oddity as most every open folder's file>open acts that way, except a re-named 'My pics' shortcut which I've housed in the default My Pictures folder (that My pics folder has no such difficulty in cursor placement). and web search for that on MBAM forum, lists a slough of app's to run and hoops to jump through in order to completely eradicate that.Īgain my initial post here may have omitted that aspect of my molasses running Windows Media Center and oddities like the near impossibility of using my mouse or touchpad to move the cursor arrow onto most any an open folder's 'file>open' (because the 'file' drop down menu reverts to the edit's drop down menu) such that until I try endless paths towards placing the cursor arrow to land on file>open. Protection Technique: Attempt to execute VBScript blockedįile Name: C:\Windows\system32\vbscript.dll ,, Blocked,Īffected Application: Internet Explorer (and add-ons) I always believed PUP's led to virus and/or other malicious malware, if not viral in their nature., so I always scan for PUPs in boot-time scans.Īs for the exploits, they seems resolved, however Malware bytes did soon after Avast's hits on the PUP and Avast's exploits, MBAM then hit on. Simply use one of my system images to restore the OS, as it's likely (?) simpler and less time consuming than the expect-able cleanup that seems all but inevitable (as the laptop's sluggish and numerous oddities are at the very least, nuisances.Īgain, best regards and happ-e-trails to all,Īssumed it was viral as Avast, I believe indicated it was despite adding it's name ended in PUP. Lastly, given the fact that I believe the AV and Malwarebytes were likely installed after infections had occurred, it's understandable somewhat, that neither hit on it until I uninstalled the GOM Player.Īnd in as much as now I'm running a trial version of Avast (expiring in some 5 days unless I cough up some cash), it will I suppose revert to a freeware version, I don't know yet, but bottom line seems to be. Nevertheless having at least fallen for the virus's ploy, until I uninstalled the GOM Player, only then did Avast AV hit on the virus (Open Candy) and the 'associated' Win32 exploits. I believe since I was very suspicious of the 'error' prompt, and I know that most app's like to 'phone home' for updates and whatever (sometimes despite our opposing it), I don't think I ever played a vid file while online, but I can't be certain of that. Having fallen for that ploy, still the 'error' prompts always reappeared every time I tried to play a vid file using GOM, and always the vid file then would play, even repeat as I've set it to, but any and all subsequent vids, the same 'error' prompt would appear. Of note, my up to now freeware versions of freeware Avast AV didn't detect my OS's virus or it's exploits, until I myself centered focus on problematic GOM Player (recently anytime a vid file was added), it's player window overlaid with a white strip advising of a java script error (otherwise remanding me to select either yes or no to continue, and yes I clicked 'only' no but one time), ![]() Posting here, mostly because the help seen provided here appears exceptionally top notch.FBPGYT ![]() my 32-bit, 2009 HP Pavilion, once Vista, but wiped and now using Windows 7 Pro.
