thanks, i dont think its any of them tho as theres Dc1 up till Dc4 and Dc2.zip. one here now called Dc337.exe, it might all just be packed files in a game i put in recycle bin.. so im about to test to see if i see the same files show when putting somethign else in the bin. weird, same files but diffrent names all of which have Dc infront of them... Dc339.exe now lol, no idea what all this Dc crap is.

just went into C:\RECYCLER in cmd and it shows 3 hidden dirs. heres a screen shot, i dont see them dirs when i enter the S-1-5-21-1935655697-484061587-725345543-1003 bin file in the recycler folder.

tbh i give up with this scaned like crazy etc no detects probs just hardware, my pc keeps making weird noises when i click on icons etc, now and again the light grey color when you right click on stuff etc goes dark grey, pc now and again crawls, in shareing/conflics says pci to pci standar bridge and my graphics card are conflicting, as i know nothing about hardware i will probs send it to a shop to ge tchecked over lol.

are you using a router by any chance?

[DN102]

yea im using a router, connected throught the ethernet cable. soz for long replie fell asleep after hunting around all night

also where my ethernet is pluged in to is the built in one in the mobo, not a stand alone network card.

I was suspecting that your router may have been infected so no matter how you fix the PC, as soon as you connect to the router, you will be reinfected. But then again, none of the scanner picked up anything so I'm not sure. perhaps its something new..

[Dieselman]

I have never heard of a router being infected but yet if there are other pc's on your network and those are infected then whatever it is can spread.

i think it might just be hardware issues tho, nothing picked up anything and ive done a fixmbr. one prob to another, 1st i seen the conflicts in the msinfo32 shareing/conflicts with my pci to pci standard pci bridge and my graphics card. pc seems ok at the moment, i still see random Dc files when cleaning with ccleaner in the C:\RECYCLER, but now my sounds has gone weird, when i play games its like the sounds repeating lol, like on the fps game i play snipers sound like machine guns etc when i right click on icons on my desktop insted of a click sound its more like a splat sound lol, its either the usb ports or the usb headset i use which is fairly new, but my usb stick loads and gets detected ok, i have not got any other usb devices to test it with so im pretty much stuck.

im starting to think its just my hardware, people may not belive me but my pc was fine till i decided to use windows updates for once, grabbing all the security updates and definitions for security essentials, sicne then my pc has become a wreck. I dont download pirated software, music all i do is browse the internet (safe sites green by WOT) and play games. im always browsing with sandboxie and firefox with plugins such as wot, adblock plus and that so i have no idea. ive been using windows xp now for nearlly 4 years without using windows updates as i copied my grandads legit disc used his serial, never used updates till last week when i decided to give security essentials a go. everything in this pc is like 4/5months old now, im probs just paranoid which is me all over in person tbh lol. i will probs take it to a shop or to someone who knows what there doing to check my hardware for errors, been googling and reading stuff for 2 days and no luck, cheers anyways guys.

Well sounds to me like maybe you have a driver issue. You need to update all your drivers according to the manufactures site. Drivers that came with your mobo are way out dated. Just format it again using Dban. Then do a low level format with your Windows cd.

ok thanks will probs do that tonight as i cant think of anything else, just noticed also that the Dc files still show up a new one now that just makes ccleanger scan it for ages and ages called Dc8.exe in the C:\RECYCLER i know theres a stealthed zip file in my recycle in not sure if thats normal or not tho.



ccleaner been stuck on this now for about 15 minutes, and when i checked it only had like 15mb of crap to remove..

not sure if its normal or not but when i enter the S-1-5-21-1935655697-484061587-725345543-1003 in dos it shows 2 dirs called . and .. a desktop.ini file and also a file called INFO2
