    Ok right off the bat I have the wrong file system on my computer.(fat32)
    Also my mom and brother like to download lots of crap and songs and not run spybot and ad-aware. The thing I am having a problem with is I play SWG and and up untill the other day it was running ok and then it started to crap its pants right at the same time this casino stuf showed up on my desktop(Bingo, casino online, poker, card games, printer cartridges, and web hosting) I cant move the files or delete them and no matter what spyware programs i use i cant get rind of this problem. It would be easyer to just Reboot my computer but it is the principal of the matter that counts. Please can some help me make my computer not suck.

    First, please follow ALL the steps in this Sticky thread READ ME FIRST BEFORE ASKING FOR SUPPORT: Basic Spyware, Trojan And Virus Removal

    If you already have any of the programs linked in the tutorial please double check your version to make sure you have the latest one and that you have any/all updates for the programs.

    NOTE: In order to resolve the issues you are having it is very important that you at least try to perform all the steps as outlined. If you have any difficulty please post back letting us know what steps you have completed, what you found while doing the scans if anything and details about any problems you have encountered in completing the steps. The more details you can provide the better.

    After doing ALL of the above if you still have a problem:

    Make sure you have HijackThis 1.99 and follow the guidelines on where to install it and how to post a log as an attachment. This is all covered in the sticky thread NO HIJACK THIS LOG FILES BEFORE READING THIS: HJT Tutorial & LOG File Posting

    Now post a HijackThis as a .txt file attachment to your message. All running programs should be closed,including your web browser, e-mail. Close before running Hijack This!

    Do NOT run Hijack This from the Desktop, a temp folder, or a sub-folder of C:\Documents and Settings, or choose to run it directly from the downloaded ZIP file. Place it in its own folder, for example C:\Program Files\HJT

    Star Wars Galaxies - They got hit pretty hard by StopGuard/Virtumundo not that long ago. After I fixed a few, their online community recommended us ;)
