yes i prolley overreacted *updated: its not doing it now* ((maybe later though???))

[thereds]

post screenshots of the errors. If you are getting any now, that is.

"wha agent"?
now that every thing is stopped, don't access msconfig,

go to start, program's, accessories, system tools..... then ...... system diagnostic's.... ( i think it's system diagnostic's, that should bring up a 2 paned window, listing very vauguely your system components. it should have a "tool's" pull down menu, that menu should have "dr. watson", as an option.

there's a menu option,
sh!t, some one at a 98se system, help me out?? quick!!

Sure that whaagent doesn't just have 1 "a?"

Here is a page that says the whagent is related to the webhancer application. Did you install that?

Force quitting whagent lets you use net apps again, right?

FYI, from the site I mentioned in the above post:



<<
Removal procedures:
As noted earlier, simply deleting WebHancer files from your system will result in a high probability of losing your ability to connect to the Internet. WebHancer modifies your Windows Sockets configuration, binding itself to Winsock so that all packets are passed through WebHancer.

The wonderful (free!) anti-spyware tool AD-Aware has been updated to detect and remove WebHancer, safely and without causing you to lose access to the Internet. You can do this and ignore the instructions below. Or... >>



Sound familiar?

kat - if you get totally stuck you know I live in Cambridge and Elita and I could take a look at it for you.

do a search on whaagent.* and see where this thing lives. Delete it if you have to.

 

[eakers]

okay webhancer aka whagent is gone.

optimus i really appreciate your gesture. honestly i do.
*kat. <-- freakin out.

 

[eakers]

is it normal to have a whole bunch of IPs trying to access your computer all the time?

*kat.

 

[Optimus]

<< *kat. <-- freakin out. >>


Ummmmm... are you freaking out b/c I offered to take a look at your computer?



<--- not a scary guy, very normal and happily married. Just knows network security and Roger's @Home very well and likes to help people...

 

[Optimus]

You mean ZoneAlarm is popping up warnings? Go into Options in Zone Alarm and select &quot;Save alarms to a file&quot;, then after a couple IP alarms cut and paste the log info into a post here.

I get about 4-5 IP access popups an hour from Zone Alarm - most are harmless. What type of alarms? Pings? Port Scans?

 

[eakers]

no no im freaking out b/c of the state of my puter.
i just may have you over sometime to look at this.

they all seem to be @home IPs ((starting with 24.))

*kat.

 

[eakers]

oh and the error im gettin is an illegal operation thinggy.
i'll reboot and try to post it.

we'll see what happens.

*kat. <-- may not be back if her computer says so.

 

[Optimus]

eakers - Rogers@home installs 2 network programs that access the 'net. One is a security proggie, the TGsched and the other I can't remeber totally - a modual that starts with &quot;R&quot; perhaps?

List for me EVERYTHING that is running when you do a Ctrl-Alt-Del.

 

[eakers]

its not doing it now.
but it prolley will be later.
if not thank you so much for all your help.


*kat. <-- guessing it coulda been the whagent????

 

[Platypus]

Yes, please list all the IPs that zone alarm is spitting at you, Id like to know who, if anyone, is playing with your box.

Edit: Maybe if I read the message... blah, anyway, if they do not come from @home that would have made sense.

 

[thereds]

hahahahahahaha

thats funny CR

 

[ArkAoss]

i love evil program's that invade pc's :|

<------was being sarcastic about loving program's.

 

[eakers]

24.112.109.192 <-- THIS ONE ALOT

Looks like its coming from your box.... Cambridge is where you live correct? Probably @home's security prog...

 

[eakers]

things that are going and i dont know them:

rundll32
lycoms
systray

the first one crashes from time to time.

*kat.

 

[eakers]

thats what i figured.

 

[Platypus]

eeek.. if your rundll32 is crashing...
systray is your system tray, thats normal.
I dont know what the other one is..

 

[JeffreyLebowski]

The power of Christ compels you evil demon, in kats computer!




If rundll32 is crashing time to reinstall Winblows

 

[Platypus]

I agree Big Lebowski... IF it keeps crashing, then you got a big problem, can you remember anything you might have downloaded that was unsafe?

 

[eakers]

sorry its
lvcomS
found in:
windows/system
and windows/applog

its been there for a long while too, since ive had the puter so that should be okay.
