I've apparently been invaded by third party software which has deleted the positions of every game I have going!! It also brings up a "Pop-up" which warns me my data files are corrupted! NO SH**, they corrupted them!!!! Now it tells me I must buy a copy of reistrycleanerxp.com in order to get them off my computer!!! ANYBODY had this set of a**holes raid their computer????

you have no invader.
Thread 86626
edit: oh, maybe you do have some malware. I didn't read past the first sentence the first time....
Thank you so much!! Will this bring back my games?? How do I notify RHP about the problem with my current games??
Thx again for your quick answer as I was going crazy to think someone could just hijack my computer and hold it for ransom as they do!! Then act like the "Good Guys" for getting rid of the problem THEY caused!! What a rip off!!
As you can propbably tell I'm a neophyte at this!!! What's a "Tech-site???
OH!! Maybe you mean the Tech Forum section on THIS site???

IS THAT RIGHT??? I must admit I found it peculiar that the problem with "My Games" came up IMMEDIATELY after i tried to get rid of the Malware by deleting three programs I didn't recognise, AND were new as of yesterday, AND although the names were different than the ones I was told I HAD to go to, this only makes sense as who would be stupid enough to label it to make it easy to find!! It ONLY stood out as those were the ONLY three programs installed yesterday!! When i got rid of those files is when it blanked all my game positions!! Now it also comes up blank when I go on the internet!! I hit "Homme" and it comes up but I'm quite sure that's only temporary, as it's still eating my hard drive!!! AND YES - I downloaded the Google Pack and it's currently scanning my system!!

Hi Wormwood. I thX you again for your help! Yes, I did download the software you said and it scanned my computer! It said there were 18 total threats with 11 tracking "cookies and 7 "Something elses" BUT that the threat estimate was "low" on ALL of them and that some of the "Cookies" were legitimate for smooth operation! (It also would NOT "fix" anything without me buying a $50 version which I ain't gonna do to fix a "Low" level threat!!) This is just like a program I was told I "HAD to buy" three years ago, to make my accounting software work!! As I had twelve YEARS of data for the IRS in that computer, I BOUGHT IT!!! Then it didn't do SQUAT for getting me access to the software I really needed to get, AND, magically the 2 HIGH LEVEL RISKS disappeared WITHOUT being removed!!! ANOTHER SCAM!!! GEEZ, there's more "Miracle" cures on here than Jesus's EVER done!!!!!

The AVG is free. Get the Spyware remover AVG offers for free also. Run these programs at least once a week
