westchester pa

one link i found

Edit: Real email address blocked out per policy. -- GMod

the email addy links to a salon in weschester pennsylvania

did a "find person " " by phone number " ( reverse lookup on yp.com ) came up with an exact hit not sure i can post info in here as that surely would be against the rules but that number does exist in pennsylvania

i get it in Downingtown, PA

harmless ? ya never know !

For sake of sanity........ (personally i would) but thats me . does seem quite odd though. back up all the important stuff just in case. reason i say this is if you restore to an earlier point & this does not cure it, the only other road is a fresh install. hang tight im sure a mod or another more experienced member might chime in & have a better idea! COME ON SENIOR MEMBERS/MODS ........ what would you do in this case?

how do you know that the adware is "harmless" I do not consider anything pointed out to me by an anti-virus (or alike) software to be harmless. Since you've deleted those which were found and then ran the scan again and found more I'd suspect that you have a worm so you need to get rid of infected files. You should either start the system in the safe mode so that the bare minimum of services are ran (and the worm software will most probably be inactive) or turn off "system restore" on all of the drives. regardless of which after you've done that scan again and delete all the infected files. (turn system restore back on after, if you've gone with that option)

regarding the problem itself... it's hard to tell if some of these malwares/adwares were responsible for the change. But remove them completely and see if the problem reoccurs. If it does... well at least you'll have a cleaner pc.

OK RRR and Germ.........I'll follow instructions now - I just woke up.........and saw your posts.

BTW..........I think I am using the wrong term........."Tracking Cookies" is what the scans had found........

A search of the phone number and the email address brings up the following results;

From the multiple links, do any mean anything to you?

This could root out the problem

VM......link 1 was my search yesterday - link 2 is the person I called last night at the 610 # in the changed folder - they are in Doylestown PA near to my home in Philly - they were nice people and knew nothing.

GS My ISP is comcast ........your IP Address is: 71.224.225.216 NO Proxy Detected

I do not know enough to understand all this --;"Check your connection settings to make sure proxys have not been put in place" and downloaded something dodgy.

What is the name of your ISP ?

So - we know the identity of the people referenced in the file name that was changed -HERE - (610-2xx-8037 or Parryxx@aol.com)

but they are NOT the culprits = IF there even is a CULPRIT...............

Edit: Real address and phone blocked per policy. -- GMod

Wanted to block the phone number so the nice folks who's number it is won't receive unwanted phone calls. There are sufficient links in this post to other forums where it can be found for discussion purposes.

VISTAMIKE FROM THIS - LINK http://www.google.co.uk/#hl=en.....38;bih=502 see below from your post above.

FOUND SOMETHING - I did searches yesterday on Boo Boo Hoff a former Phila mobster..........PARRY DESMOND is writing a book on Boo Boo Hoff. I think there just must have been a glitch ON MY DESKTOP.
