Yep, looks all clean now. If you're still getting problems then post again, and we'll just have to try harder

Sorry about that Alex, but it's always a bad idea to just remove everything. Sure, the shotgun approach will often work, but it'll often kill a lot of other stuff on your system and leave pieces behind. It's very important with antivirus programs to be careful and not leave bits behind, else you can end up with really fun problems.

As far as anti-virus programs go, the only one I've had real experience with has been Norton (btw, it seems that when you istall norton it resets the subscription period to one year from the date of installation. So you could try uninstalling and then reinstalling it). I do know that free ones exist, and if they work then by all means use them. I just would caution against going for any old "free" one, as a lot of supposed spyware removers and the like actually contain spyware (even some pay-for ones). I would try Alex's one, just note that the link is to a German site (there's a link to an English version on that page but it timed out on me).


Oh Alex, I see your "real low systeem specs" and raise you a P166 MMX laptop with 96MB ram, 2MB video and a 3GB disk with NTFS compression *on* running Win2k, with Norton 2k4 installed.
It ran JJ2 quite nicely as well at 640x480, with medium-high settings.

Edit: if you install a new anti-virus program, then uninstall all other anti-virus programs first. Same goes for firewalls. Anti-virus programs tend to intefere with each other in strange ways.
