RE: C++ Programming
lol, hopefully it can stay that way 
and to stay on topic.. if anyone would like to be ballzy and run this program I wrote up.. here's the link:
http://www.geocities.com/mystterio2099/clickme.zip (download, unzip, run .exe)
Basically, when you run it, it'll open itself a brazillion times, fill your memory, and freeze your computer.. no one has ever been able to stop it or restart properly after its ran.. it works too fast.. so, you're forced to shut down via power button. That's all it does... but its fun to watch your screen fill with DOS prompts.
Here's the code. There is a seperate file telling it what icon to attach, i didn't put that in here.
ok, i'm done. lol

Off topic a bit, but the computer savvy are checking out this thread, soooo-
Okay, now tell us how to get rid this annoying shyt that's floating around. I have a damn virus that tells me I have a virus and click here to download the antivirus...aka... give someone free access to all my files and junk like that. arrrgh, my antivirus won't kill it, I cannot get rid of it from the system folder cause it's in use, won't do it in safe mode either.P.S. it also gives me **** popups too.

This sounds more like spyware/adware.. Viruses do not have pop ups by nature... they more screw up your system files. So, you need to download a free program called Ad-Aware SE. Run that baby and delete everything it finds. If that program can't find it, I'm not too sure... but, I run that, my virus scan, and a defrag once a week, and I never have a single problem. Also be careful what wesbites you browse through... not sure what you look at, and don't want to know, but, just be very cautious.
Hope that helps.
---- Also, what did you mean by removing it from the system folder?.. does this mean you found a file? .. if so, what is it called?

Have to look up everything again. I believe it was in the system32 folders, but I cannot delete it due to the fact that it has protected itself somehow. The nature of the programming is to give you **** popups and other junk like that, not from where you go. I usually am cautious with where I go and what emails I open. Back in January this was a pretty new problem without a definate cure.
I think the file was mssearchnet. I got the info from a website that was attempting to help people debug their comps from this.

Not criticising, just stating the preconceived notion that has been implanted into my little brain. I ran the program and it found the program that I couldn't get much help with and the updated versions of my spyware/antivirus didn't catch. It was SpyAxe and Spyware Strike...I'm pretty confident that those were it. So far, so good. Thanks for the reccomendation... I owe you!
