S & A Removal
Do be careful getting files from AIMFilez.com. Some files I ran installed spyware/adware I believe. I didn't have any problems until I ran those files. Can anyone tell me how to fix this one? (Most recent) This has come up at multiple sites. It came up on one AIM site I tried to load, somewhere at newgrounds too (I think), and a few others I don't remember.
Nevermind I fixed it... all you have to do is scroll to the bottom of the page, download a app. that says 'remove' or something like that and run it then it automatically removes it. I would have deleted this part, but figured I'd leave it for an FYI, incase anyone else happens to get it... I do have a lot of other stuff still on here though. I need to run NAV again so I can find the rest.
Here's the what's up with this:
Here's a screen shot of windows explorer. Half of these programs aren't even installed on my computer. They were installed on my old 30 GB hard drive which is now my slave drive, with no OS, that has been reformated to NTFS from FAT32, and has been defragmented several times since I installed my new 120 GB hard drive as my primary drive. The old hard drive had a lot of stuff installed on it when it was drive letter 'C', but now it's 'D' and my 120 GB hard drive is 'C' so since 'C' is a completely new drive that had nothing on it, it isn't possible for that stuff to be on drive 'C'. When you first boot windows with a no OS drive it will say just that, no OS... So I don't know what's goin' on with this thing. Got any ideas?
