Guest Annie Posted July 24, 2008 Posted July 24, 2008 Thank you, Tom, but I still don't know how to disable the port. I'm not that experienced a computer person. I want it disabled as long as it won't interfere with my wireless internet connection. Dan, I ran disk cleanup, defrag, Adaware, Spybot, Avast and HJT. I thought HJT was supposed to be the one that told me if I had anything bad on my computer. ??? If these programs don't pick up the RootKit/Virus combo, you're saying Microsoft will? The computer is running fine except for the incoming, from my IP, to my 2869 port. No outsiders. What will happen if I 'do' have a RootKit/Virus combo? What should I look for in terms of odd behavior?

Maybe I should start a new thread?</span> Personally - I think if you are going to continue trying to fix this yourself - you are going to be better off backing up your important data (documents, pictures, emails, contacts, etc) and wiping the computer and installing from scratch. I don't recommend that lightly - but... http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.p...92fc976519c105d and http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.p...5fe465138260bcb Essentially you have gotten to a point where you are unsure what you have and whether or not what you might have is good or bad. It is at that point that the wisest thing to do is (IMHO) start afresh. - Hook up some external hard disk drive or burn DVDs/CDs of your important sstuff (keep that machine off the network.) Copy everything you need. Pictures, documents, spreadsheets, images, emails, contacts, text files, serial keys, installation files, etc. If you can - get an imaging application (Norton Ghost, Acronis TrueImage, BootItNG, etc) and make a complete image of your hard disk drive onto an external device and you can go back later for anything you did not back up. - Install Belarc Advisor on the machine (from an external drive or something) and run it - print the results. That should have your Windows Product Key, other software with Product keys that register on the machine, a list of stuff you have installed and a list of the hardware installed on your machine. - Break out all of your installation media and keys/etc (Windows XP installation CD, any office suites/products you have - etc...) Any program you need to have installed on the computer, find its installation media (even if it is an installation executable file and a text file with the serial number in it) and get it onto media seperated from the machine so you can install using it later. - Now that you have everything backed up and everything ready to install... Clean install Windows XP: http://www.michaelstevenstech.com/cleanxpinstall.html - Update the hardware drievrs... - Get Windows XP SP3 from another computer onto CD or thumb drive or somehting to the newly formatted drive... Install it. - Install your other software (AV and such). - THEN connect to the Internet and get updates from http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/ ... -- Shenan Stanley MS-MVP -- How To Ask Questions The Smart Way http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html Quote

Guest Annie Posted July 25, 2008 Posted July 25, 2008 I disabled UPnP in the router settings. Also disabled UPnP and SSDP Discovery Service on my computer. No more messages since I did this. Everything seems to be running smoothly right now. In doing this, I found a file I don't recognize. B's Recorder GOLD Library General Service. bgsvcgen.exe Is this something that should be uninstalled? (it's not in my add and remove folder) I have no idea what it's doing on my machine. The HJT guy said he didn't find any malware so I'm guessing it's OK to leave on.

Guest Annie Posted July 25, 2008 Posted July 25, 2008 That's not my issue anymore. I already posted I disabled UPnP on router and computer...everything is fine. I said 'thank you', too. I really, really appreciate everyone's help here. BTW, I won't name name's but one of those 'guys' at aum....was very rude. Read many posts and he's obviously upsetting a lot of people.

Guest PA Bear [MS MVP] Posted July 26, 2008 Posted July 26, 2008 Annie, you should know that ~BD~ was banned from AumHa Forums, several other forums, an ISP, and at least one Usenet server for his bizarre and sometimes harrassing behavior. By jumping in here, he's taking advantage of you in an effort to further his agenda, not to assist you. @Annie only: Bill's AumHa profile was "horked" due to a server problem in Sept-06. His posts from 18 Sept-06 and earlier were associated with the "horked" profile. Bill is a well-respected, longtime MS MVP and has been an AumHa VSOP and Moderator for many years; cf. http://aumha.org/vsop.htm. Participation in many AumHa Forums requires a certain level of computer proficiency but we attempt to assist all comers. (I did suggest other forums to you.) You may find Computer Haven forums (where ~BD~ is also /personna non grata/, I believe) more to your liking: http://www.computerhaven.info/ -- ~Robear Dyer (PA Bear) MS MVP-IE, Mail, Security, Windows Desktop Experience - since 2002 AumHa VSOP & Admin http://aumha.net DTS-L http://dts-l.net/ Annie wrote:<span style="color:blue"> > You hit the nail on the head, Dave!

Altho I love the > speed, the tech obviously made changes all over my computer without my > knowledge. Shoulda told me.</span> I'm really pleased to hear that you've succeeded in fixing things, Annie. style_emoticons/ Robear is correct when he tells you I have been banned by AumHa - for asking difficult questions ............. and banned from Annexcafe.com for the very same reason. The folk at hxxp://www.computerhaven.info/ have not (to my knowledge) banned me, but I noted that some were the same as the 'helpers' on Aumha so haven't felt comfortable there. I have NEVER been banned by 'an ISP, and at least one Usenet server' - that is a lie. I posted this note in another thread recently:- Hello PA Bear! As you have dropped by, I wonder if you can tell me why it is that if I type www.Aumha.com into my browser address bar I'm whisked off to this URL - http://downloadprograms.biz/?rid=544620 Many here will know that you are one of the resident experts at www.Aumha.net and that www.Aumha.org is a well established site for helping those wishing to learn about PC's and security. I find it surprising that the .com domain isn't 'owned' by Mr James E. Eshelman, a man of great experience, as explained here: www.aumha.org/resume.htm TIA I didn't receive a reply! Perhaps someone else reading here will know the answer. As far as a "horked" profile is concerned, I'd have thought that it would be easy for such clever folk to correct the false information. I used to trust people once! Dave Quote

That's not being rude unless one is too sensitive. Quote
