Twistedrx7 Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 no more porn? Just put on spybot search and destroy along with ad Aware. Run those programs and you should be running a little faster. You can than run a registry repair to eliminate a bunch of garbage in there.

Twistedrx7 Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 No problem. Try going through your computer as well and deleting any programs or crap you do not need. Than defragment the hard drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linc5.0 Posted December 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 Remove Norton SystemWorks. how do i do that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twistedrx7 Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 You need to go to add remove programs and remove it that way. The bad thing is norton remains in your registry and still is not completely removed. Use this and it will remove it all for you http://www.fastpcfixes.com/registry/uninstall_errors.php?s=c&k=norton+uninstall&gclid=CNOru7SbtJcCFQQrFQod2ln6kQ Apparently you need to register for this one. Didnt realize it until i just ran it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRTurbo04 Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 got any free spyware links...im too cheap to buy crap for this crappy laptop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akula Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 How many times do I need to say this, getk9.com It is free and uses enterprise grade stuff to keep out the bad stuff. Just enable the spyware and malware blocking. You don't have to use it to keep you from getting to the porn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twistedrx7 Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 After some searching here is the program with the patch. Run the zip file. Open the Install but do not open the program, at the end it will ask if you want to run the program, do not. Open Patch.exe. Click Patch and select the program in program files/perfectinstaller/perfectinstaller.exe or whatever it is called. http://depositfiles.com/en/files/3680102 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sol740 Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 I advise everyone I know to do clean installs of their OS's once every two years at least. If its XP you can try using "System Restore" to a date you know when the PC was operating normally. It will delete anything installed after said date though. I still recommend a fresh install.
