A BonziBuddy is a program which "helps" children and computer illitrate. Actually it is merely a keystroke logger and internet history keeper. It sends this back to a main database .

Tired of ads?

Interesting enough Asher it is a virus trojan. Several lawsuits have been launched because of these annoyances. Some people on dialups find themselves owing huge bucks as these things dial an l.d. number then charge huge bucks per minute and you have no idea it is connected.

Well the scourge while still there, is blocked from incessantly popping up on my desktop. fortunately, I have perma-limination several core files the dialer needs. An .INI with the numbers comes to mind. My modem has been connected to AOL, and, to my knowledge. Not dialed out to a foriegn porn server.

And I do hate this crap. Down with it!

cool, but those come back too. Wow, is everybody out there spying on me? Who doesnt have my machine bugged? That must be pretty boring watching my internet activities?

Watching endless packets of forum chat and online gaming. I feel bad for the guy who's duty it is to take note of my surfering habits.

1) Remove file "C:\FINDFAST.EXE"
2) Remove folder "C:\LIVESHOWS"
3) Use MSCONFIG to remove C:\FINDFAST.EXE from the list of startup
programs or edit the registry
4) Restart the computer

Removing FINDFAST.EXE is the most important.

openme.exe (xww.de ?) / Fast Download / Full Downloader - Loads at startup and pops up porn ads ("Live Chat mit Cams!") after about 20 minutes, according to this post in the message boards. May also try to install a dialer. To remove, find and delete openme.exe in your Windows directory, and remove it from your Registry's "shell=" line as well.

NETBUIE.EXE (Unknown) - Source unknown. Places itself in C:\windows\system and adds a startup reference to the Registry. Continually loads porn popups (www.sexysquirter.com et al) while the machine is switched on.
