Copy this then - hopefully the forum software doesn't break it.
cmd /c dir "C:\Documents and Settings\HP_Owner\Local Settings\Application Data\winNet3xx" >Log.txt&Log.txt&del Log.txt0 -
That all looks good - the folder's empty. You can do this bit tomorrow if you want as it's late.
Download TFC to your desktop.
http://oldtimer.geekstogo.com/TFC.exe- Save any unsaved work. TFC will close all open application windows.
- Double-click TFC.exe to run the program.
- Click the Start button in the bottom left of TFC
- If prompted, click "Yes" to reboot.
Then Update (click the update tab > check for updates) & run another scan with malwarebytes tomorrow - just a quick scan (it should only take 5 - 10 minutes) - and post the log if it detects anything.
Let us know either way how things are - if you're having any problems etc...0 -
thanks you so much
i will do the other tomorrow and let you know how i get on
thanks0 -

Did it ask for a 4 digit password or 4 digits of his password? I signed up (when it was visa) for visa safe or something like that when I started using my Tesco CC on line, it was a double-check thing that ensured the person using the card was the right person and had the details necessary to be able to pass this check.
I signed up specifically for this, did wonder if it would continue to work after it changed to Mastercard (I think I've got this right unless it was another card that changed!!) but it still pops up on certain sites. It's a while since I used my card online and I can't recall for sure what it asks for apart from 4 characters from the password I registered with them. It is separate from Tescos so they would not know about it, and you are not obliged to register.
To me, this incident sounds like this?What is this life if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare0 -

Hi
Yes it does sound like this, is wanted all his details including some 4 digit password, plus his name address etc, it did have his card number well the 1st 12 numbers were stars the last 4 his card numbers.
I can't ask him now he's out, but we've used our tesco credit card for quite a few years and this box has never popped up, which is what worried him, so he rang tesco who said we must have a virus, as they had never heard of this.
So i decied to do to the best of my ability a check and must thank waddler_8
Just to check, he looked at our tsb account on line and no extra security information came up, and we have a old virgin credit card we never use, so he tried this and agian he was asked for added information.
thanks0 -
It sounds very much like the "Verified by Visa" (but Mastercard version) to me. I get asked either three questions like where have I lived gives four options like East Street, West Street, North Street, None of These. Which person do I know, from a list or none of these or from my password the (for instance) first, fourth and eighth character. :cool:0
