Title: under is stupid Post by: underruler on May 22, 2004, 06:45:03 AM Ok I can't delete this one thing on my computer that's causing my google to screw up. It always says that Windows is using it, so I *can't* delete it. Well that sucks b/c it's something called the "dealhelper" right and it screws up my google so that everything I try to search for it ends up coming up with some site where you buy stuff. >(
If anybody would like to help please... Title: under is stupid Post by: Perdition on May 22, 2004, 06:51:56 AM under you arnt stupid. how to get rid of it (http://www.netrn.net/archives2/000513.html)
Title: under is stupid Post by: mole on May 22, 2004, 12:48:32 PM somthign about this topic drew me too it, not entirely sure why.
i hate files that doo that, specially if that have uhhh 'odd' fiel names and wont go away, can take hours to work out how to delete them Title: under is stupid Post by: FragMaster1972 on May 22, 2004, 05:13:51 PM you can delete any of those files by opening the command prompt (start->run->cmd), going to the folder, using ctrl-alt-del to end windows explorer, then deleting the file. you only have to have a very basic knowledge of command promt workings to do it.
Title: under is stupid Post by: underruler on May 22, 2004, 05:25:22 PM I think the problem is that I deleted something that the DealHelper needed to run by accident, and then I uninstalled the DealHelper, but then the thing that makes the DealHelper work can't be deleted b/c I needed the other stuff to uninstall and then delete. I have Ad-aware, Spybot Search & Destroy, and The Cleaner and stuff still comes up.
I'm just going to have do a recovery or something. Title: under is stupid Post by: SS on May 22, 2004, 07:31:03 PM Go into safe-mode and run ad-aware, spybot, etc all again.
Oh and get a good firewall - no point chucking people out the house if you still leave the door open. Then lock your windows as well (by using Spybot or SpywareBlaster to disable IEs Active-X crap which can be exploited) Title: under is stupid Post by: underruler on May 22, 2004, 08:02:51 PM Ok this really doesn't have anything to do with the topic or maybe it does. I can't open my disc drive to insert the disc to do the recovery. I'm not usre if this is b/c the compy is stupid or there's something wrong with the drive like a unconnected wire. It worked today...but then sometimes it doesn't.
edit: wait I got it to work. I'm afraid to close the drive b/c it might not open again :( Title: under is stupid Post by: SS on May 22, 2004, 08:10:35 PM No-no, try safemode first - it'll be quicker/easier than recovery. :P
