got rid of antivirus, now can't get rid of contentwatch installation errors or connec

silverlake69 · Sep 24, 2008

I had to manually remove Antivirus 2008 which I think is gone. I removed my filter program Net Nanny in which part of their program was called Contentwatch. Now I continually get boxes coming up saying Contentwatch installation error. I also lost my internet connection. The way they keep popping up I can't tell if they are legit or another type of trojan? Most of the fixes I've seen require internet access. Is there something I can check or print for you to help me?

Welcome to Major Geeks!

Please follow the instructions in the below link and attach the requested logs when you finish these instructions.

If something does not run, write down the info to explain to us later but keep on going.

Do not assume that because one step does not work that they all will not.

READ & RUN ME FIRST. Malware Removal Guide

Notes:

If you run into problems trying to run the READ & RUN ME or any of the scans in normal boot mode. You can running steps in safe boot mode but make sure you tell us what you did later when you post logs. See the below if you do not know how to boot in safe mode:

Starting your computer in Safe mode

If you have problems downloading on the problem PC, download the tools on another PC and burn to a CD. Then copy them to the problem PC. You will have to skip getting updates if (and only if) your internet connection does not work. Yes you could use a flash drive too but flash drives are writeable and infections can spread to them.
