LOL, I would but I can't find the thing on the net, was just walking past a computer shop and they had it for display. When I asked them what's the diff, they just shrugged their shoulders. (Yeah lousy service, I know) So that's the real reason why I'm asking here. Most probably some people could tell me some useful things that I need to lookout for. And is there a better program than Sony's Soundforge that can support VST Plug-ins and record in real time? I'm Just doing a simple project of narrating over a video plus pics for a family wedding.

I just want to know if there is any difference between these two and which is better for recording acoustic stuff.

This an awesome remix. I like it and my girl likes it. Well Done Indeed

Prophet: Yeap the SP# did it, I think....So far the symptoms are gone, and my PC is a bit faster though only a bit. Thanks for the help everyone.

Well I'll be damned. That did it all right. Thanks Guys! Really appreciate it~

To Schwaltzvald - Like I said, I'm not into the in depth stuff of computers and my knowledge on computers are only above average. So I have no idea on what SP2 and SP3 are. You could explain this to me if you want though, I'm quite interested in this. To the prophet of mephisto - Thanks for your kind response and I'll take your advice on seeking help on the various tech forums. To Nutritious - Thanks for the link and I'll give this a shot. Thanks for the kind help guys.

So the only way to get rid of this worm is by formatting my laptop? You sure there's no other way to get rid of this thing?

Here's what I got, I hope it's the right thing though. can saved at 2:24:27 AM, on 5/22/2009 Platform: Windows XP SP2 (WinNT 5.01.2600) MSIE: Internet Explorer v7.00 (7.00.6000.20544) Boot mode: Normal Running processes: C:\WINDOWS\System32\smss.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\csrss.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\winlogon.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\services.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\lsass.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\svchost.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\svchost.exe C:\Program Files\TuneUp Utilities 2006\WinStylerThemeSvc.exe C:\WINDOWS\System32\svchost.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\svchost.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\svchost.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\svchost.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\spoolsv.exe C:\Acer\Empowering Technology\ePerformance\MemCheck.exe C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\bin\AppleMobileDeviceService.exe C:\Program Files\Bonjour\mDNSResponder.exe C:\Program Files\WIDCOMM\Bluetooth Software\bin\btwdins.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\cisvc.exe C:\Program Files\ESET\ESET Smart Security\ekrn.exe C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\VS7DEBUG\MDM.EXE C:\WINDOWS\system32\svchost.exe C:\WINDOWS\System32\alg.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\wbem\wmiprvse.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\wbem\wmiprvse.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\wscript.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\igfxtray.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\hkcmd.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\igfxpers.exe C:\WINDOWS\RTHDCPL.EXE C:\WINDOWS\AGRSMMSG.exe C:\PROGRA~1\LAUNCH~1\QtZgAcer.EXE C:\Acer\Empowering Technology\ePower\ePower_DMC.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\igfxsrvc.exe C:\Acer\Empowering Technology\ePresentation\ePresentation.exe C:\Program Files\ESET\ESET Smart Security\egui.exe C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.6.0_07\bin\jusched.exe C:\Program Files\Topro\tppoll.exe C:\Program Files\HP\HP Software Update\HPWuSchd2.exe C:\Program Files\CyberLink\PowerDVD8\PDVD8Serv.exe C:\Program Files\iTunes\iTunesHelper.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\wbem\unsecapp.exe C:\Program Files\Cyberlink\Shared Files\brs.exe C:\Program Files\Common Files\Ahead\Lib\NMBgMonitor.exe C:\Program Files\CursorXP\CursorXP.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\igfxext.exe C:\Program Files\DAP\DAP.EXE C:\Program Files\Nokia\Nokia PC Suite 7\PCSync2.exe C:\Program Files\DNA\btdna.exe C:\Program Files\Common Files\Ahead\Lib\NMIndexStoreSvr.exe C:\Program Files\Windows Live\Messenger\MsnMsgr.Exe C:\Program Files\PC Connectivity Solution\ServiceLayer.exe C:\Program Files\WIDCOMM\Bluetooth Software\BTTray.exe C:\Program Files\HP\Digital Imaging\bin\hpqtra08.exe C:\Program Files\Common Files\Nokia\MPAPI\MPAPI3s.exe C:\Program Files\iPod\bin\iPodService.exe C:\DOCUME~1\USER\LOCALS~1\Temp\RtkBtMnt.exe C:\Program Files\HP\Digital Imaging\bin\hpqSTE08.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\wscript.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\cidaemon.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\cidaemon.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\wscript.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\wscript.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\wscript.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\wscript.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\wscript.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\wscript.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\wscript.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\wscript.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\wscript.exe C:\PROGRA~1\WIDCOMM\BLUETO~1\BTSTAC~1.EXE C:\Program Files\Windows Media Player\wmplayer.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\imapi.exe C:\WINDOWS\Explorer.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\wscript.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\wscript.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\wscript.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\wscript.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\wscript.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\wscript.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\HPZipm12.exe C:\Program Files\PC Connectivity Solution\Transports\NclUSBSrv.exe C:\Program Files\PC Connectivity Solution\Transports\NclRSSrv.exe C:\Program Files\PC Connectivity Solution\Transports\NclBCBTSrv.exe C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe C:\Program Files\Windows Live\Messenger\msnmsgr.exe C:\Program Files\Windows Live\Messenger\usnsvc.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\wscript.exe C:\Program Files\Trend Micro\HijackThis\HijackThis.exe R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Page = http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=54896 R0 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Start Page = http://www.plusnetwork.com R1 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Default_Page_URL = http://www.yahoo.com R1 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Default_Search_URL = http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=54896 R1 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Page = http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=54896 R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Start Page = http://www.yahoo.com R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings,ProxyServer = 192.168.101.7:8080 R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings,ProxyOverride = *.local;<local> F2 - REG:system.ini: Shell=Explorer.exe wscript.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\lavos.vbs O2 - BHO: &Yahoo!

Lol, I'm not much into this computer stuff.

The only Anti-virus I have is NOD32. And nope not Lava Soft. It says in the title window, "Codename:Lavos", and then it says "Your computer has been infected". hoo Boy... seems like other symptoms other than unable to launch the Task Manger are: 1) Can't open the Hardisk by clicking it directly, need to right click it then click explore. 2) External Hard-rive can't be disconnected even if I'm not accessing it. 3)My apps run slower than normal..

If by malware you don't mean Lavos do you? Coz I've just restarted my laptop now and there's this notification box stating that I've been infected. *sigh* Guess I found the problem....I'll try and see if a scan could fix this. However any other suggestions on what I should do? And please don't say format it...

That's the thing, my account is the administrator which gives me full access to everything. This problem started last night when my IE was acting up, so I decided to close it using the task manager. But it won't launch and hence, the creation of this thread.

Whenever I try to launch the task manager through the Ctrl+Alt+Del shortcut, i get the message that the task manager is disabled by the Administrator. However, the only person who have access to my laptop in only me and i never changed any settings. Any one have any idea?

Guitar - for 7 months (Still new at this) Harmonica - Since 8 & still active playing it today.

When i click on the hard disk to open up the files, i get an open files with window...the one where you pick which program to use and view the files. Whats wrong with my laptop now? Why Can't i open the files like i normally do? Help me..... *Blurr......

I've been using this P2P app for a while now and somehow it just doesn't cut it anymore. Is there anything out there that is better than this? Thanks in advance~
