Familiar with this one, for once. Not a virus, but might as well be one. Xupiter needs to be removed..all traces of it. Then, You'll be back in Fat City. Yell if you need help,...or better yet..........ask somebody else that actually claims complete knowlege of the issue. All I know is....I got rid of it on several systems, and everything went back to normal.

I know it well Ree.
This thing is like a fungus. "Crapware" is a great description. I sprayed my stuff for it and it's sitting unchecked somewhere in tools. I never hear from it except when I get a "cannot find" thing. It shows up there but nowhere else. Not a virus, just an irritant.

I got hit with it, Ree - got it from sending out Valentines... 
It totally shut me down here, lost all connectivity to the internet. Norton doesn't recognize it as a virus but McAffee does and has a fix for it. Go to McAffee's site and print out the fix. It's quite the procedure to remove it, but you HAVE to remove it. It's an ugly one for sure.
Email me if you need help, ok?

Ree here's a link for the free virus scan 'housecall' if you suspect a virus.....gotta click on for you country and then have it run the scan......then it will tell you what the virus is and give you links for the tools to get rid of them and expain the virus ect. I hope the link works if not I can send you it directly....good luck....it's prety cool to save and use from time to time. You don't have to register to run it....and the process does take a 'while' ta start and do it's thing so be patient tay ? Pam

You might want to download Spybot Search and Destroy(free) It gets rid of all kinds of spyware, adware, trojans, keyloggers etc.

Hi Ree,
Try this...go
here and download Ad-Aware. Lavasoft has just released a brand new version. Be sure it says build 162. It should. Run it once a week or so to keep your comp clean. Or there is a specific tool for removal of this parasite...go here and get the removal tool, it's free.
Let me know if you need help. See ya later.

If you get the new Ad-aware, run the update function first, I had to in order to get the latest ref list. I use both Ad-aware and Spybot S&D they seem to complement each other nicely...what one misses the other gets.

My dear ReebaNana Orangebod...
go here: http://vil.mcafee.com/dispVirus.asp?virus_k=99904
you shouldn't need to go into DOS to fix this. There is a link to XP considerations towards the bottom of the page.
go nuts, honey - you'll figure it out.

You are correrct Sherry, DOS has gone the way of vent windows on cars and prayer in schools, at least in 32 bit systems like XP. For a little more information on what is now called "Command Prompt" click here.

Thanks everyone for all the info. Yesterday I discovered a program trying to down load something and I removed every trace of it. Now I have freeware that does it for me.

Ree, I'm sending you much love. I know I haven't been doing that lately because I've been wallowing in my own shit. Sorry blondie. I think calling the president to say your little boys can't participate AND writing them a note to get your boys out of the war is a good idea. It'll work. But then again, they're just on a cruise, remember?
Hey, everyone. We all have different thoughts on the war. That doesn't matter here. She's got both her boys in the service and at least one is heading over. She's scared. It's her babies. Send Ree your love and her boys your best wishes.
Ree, you have my love and thoughts. Sean and Scott, God's speed and shield!

Since we are on the subject..
FYI, If anyone here works for a company that uses GroupWise on Netware for email, there is a great anti-virus, anti-spam product on the market called GWAVA. My company uses it and we haven't gotten hit with viruses for over a year and our spam has been reduced by close to 100%.
Unfortunately, it doesn't install on a desktop, but it sure works well.
I think the company that makes it is called Beginfinite Inc.
