hi there, i registered because i am having a terribly annoying problem. whenever i log onto my computer, an error message will occur saying that the 'services and controller app needs to close' it doesn't matter whether i press 'send error report' or 'don't send', it will come up saying the services.exe has terminated unexpectedly and will close down in a minute. atm, i have to run the computer on 'safe mode with networking'
due to some searching i did, it may have something to do with a sasser virus? i'm not sure.
another small problem is when i search on google, sometimes a search result will get redirected to a 'yahabags.com' site....not sure what this is.
Thanks very much for anyone that helps me out.
I can perform a hijack this if that helps
