I notice also that at the background when I load windows there is a msg that
says "Warning! spyware detected on your computer install an antivirus or
spyware
remover to clean your computer". I suspect this msg maybe the
trojan/backdoor/adware/virus. In my program files
there is a folder called mywebsearch, I also am unable to access my control
panel so I can uninstall whatever program I might have installed to
have caused this. I noticed the problems soon after installing panda
antivirus, first time I ran hijackthis it told me that the administrator
had disabled registry editing (except I am the only system admin, but didn't
create an administrator account called administrator when I installed winxp
pro
build 2600), it specifically says "Registry editing has been disabled by
your administrator",
and programs take an age to load if at all, most of the times, I get an RPC
call
error and the system reboots.
Each time I log in, I see a network connection is being attempted to various
sites by the spyware/adware/backdoor/trojan (however I and it is unable to
access the internet even with my isp user/pass).
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

This is not a web forum, doc. This is Usenet. Get a proper newsreader.
And check the date of the (ancient) post you replied to...

Judging by the "forum" contents [1], it looks like they've bastardized
the entire Usenet into a keyword search. They appear to be taking any
post with a key word in the subject and then creating forums based on
a subsets of key words [2]. I don't know if they can inject an
original posts into the group, but it appears that they will inject
any posts made at the "forum" into Usenet groups. I wonder what the
crosspost limit is... ;-)

Your posting of information is unimpressive.
You said "I have been tracking this virus". It is NOT a virus.
I suggest two thinks.
Keep on learning. You have *much* to learn.
The second adds to the first in that you need to learn how to access Usenet properly.
Not through http://forums.techarena.in that acts as a front-end to usenet news groups but
using a news client accessing alt.privacy.spyware through your ISP or via a NSP.
BTW: I have more experience than you have been alive ! When I started accessing Usenet
you were still sucking your mama's tit.

This is USENET. There are no profiles.
Or did you mean use: computere...@yahoo.com
repairks ? <lol>
> I am 20 years old
..old enough to be my grandbaby.
Maybe you need to get a Usenet certification as the standard in Usenet
is to NOT REPLY BY EMAIL.
Usenet is a generic medium for posting to a GROUP, it's not to specific
individuals, but the Subjects are how we communicate.
At 20, you're just a kid, and you need to learn to listen instead of
running your mouth.
Usenet is for open/non-private communications - if you post in usenet
then keep it in usenet.

Impertinence is frequently the mark of the very young and
inexperienced. Many of the professionals whom we are privileged to have
posting to these groups have been working on real computers in the real
world since the dawn of the computing age.
It is almost always poor form in Usenet to ask that one be emailed. It
is at best presumptuous.
Profile? We ain't got no profiles. We don't need no profiles. We don't
need no stinken profiles!
