Club 80-90 Forums

When i restart my computer this appears on the screen.What does it mean and how do i get rid of it.Thanks in advance.

Run malwarebytes (free). Looks like malware with a name like that. Either that or search the registry for "tibmyawx' and remove (delete) all references to it.

If you get really stuck I could do it remotely for you.

Malwarebytes did find adware when i ran it a few weeks back.This might of been part of that.Will do a registry search as you suggest.

Sorted thanks

Malware is a pain in the butt. I don't get it at work as we're subscribed to a really fierce anti virus/malware app (Webroot) which, whilst it works brilliantly, will delete anything it is even remotely suspicious about including dodgy apps on USB sticks. Saves me a lot of hassle to be honest even if it annoys workstation users. I don't use it at home as its almost like using neat bleach but that means running regular malware checks at least weekly. My son used to get them regularly so I installed Webroot on his. You can't even uninstall it unless you're in safe mode.

Linux

Will be doing another one for an 80-90 member when it arrives in a day or so

More of a faff with Lunux, besides thats changing the subject.

Yes, but Rob's sorted now - What's a faff?

A faff is having to let the dog out for a pee enroute
