I accidently clicked yes to allow an Active-X script to run in IE

[JEDI]

right after i clicked yes, all my letters were in uppercase and the caps lock was not on. when i pressed the caps lock, all the letters were in lowercase, but the comma, period, and slash keys were < > ? respectively.

norton antivirus says i'm clean.

short of a format/reinstall, how can i be sure there's nothing malignant in my comp?

download and run adaware

if you've never used it you'll find tons of stuff

Adaware AND Spybot Run them both

Don't mind me, I just came into this thread to point and laugh.

Ok first, WTF WERE YOU DOING ON IE!! Get firefox now!

Second, do as above posted and run Adaware and Spybot Search and Destroy.

 

[FoBoT]

uh, run an anti-virus program?

 

[Xionide]

Then install spyware blaster.

 

[DrPizza]

and don't forget to run "Hijack This"

btw... it's just a new trojan on your system... and wow, that's one heckuva porn collection you've got!

Wait a second... those are all gay porn files :Q

Why?

I run IE and have never had spyware or a virus on my system.

Pretty much the same here. The only time I had a virus was when I'd left an IIS server running un-updated and unprotected in a DMZ.

I find that hard to believe. I have both adaware and Spybot on my machine, and if I open IE to check for an update on XP, it instantly gets some spyware. I use it as an example of how crappy IE is.
