But I swear by this program called, "SUPERAnti-Spyware."
It has been my computer's savior like, 7496091 times.

anti spyware is not anti-virus, sooo.

Eh, w/e. All I know/care about is that it gets rid of Trojans and other bad things.

Windows Vista update error 80244019
The cause of error 80244019 was a Trojan Virus!!

I have Windows Vista with SP1 and Internet Explorer 7. After a week of trying different suggestions from people on the Internet, I realized there was something wrong with the DNS address.

I went to "Local Area Connection" and opened the properties, then the properties of the item "Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)", and noticed that instead of having selected "Obtain DNS server address automatically", it was using:

Preferred DNS server: 85.255.113.122
Alternate DNS server: 85.255.112.83

I removed the 2 DNS addresses and changed the option back to "Obtain DNS server address automatically" but it wouldn't keep it. I did this several times without luck.

If you Google the first address "85.255.113.122" you'll find some articles describing how to get rid of malicious software from your computer and a Trojan virus called DNSchanger that installs some files (c:\resycled\boot.com; c:\windows\system32\kdtjz.exe) and modifies your registry to redirect to these addresses:

HKEY_LOCALMACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Service s\...\Parameters\Tcpip\NameServer = 85.255.113.122,85.255.112.83

See this link:
PC Pitstop Forums > dnschanger found, microsoft money box keeps appearing

I'm using Norton Anti Virus and it didn't detect the Trojan virus, so I downloaded HijackThis and "Spybot - Search & Destroy", which are for free. I also got a copy of "PC Tools Spyware Doctor".

I removed all cookies and temporary internet files from Internet Explorer and Firefox. Then I rebooted my computer in safe mode and run all the anti-virus and anti-spyware I had downloded, and followed their instructions.

After removing the Trojan virus, I reset my DNS address and flushed it. You'll probably need "elevated" permissions...to do this you need to right click the "cmd.exe" file to "Run as Administrator" and then type:

>ipconfig /flushdns

Try that. If that seems too complex, try installing spybot search and destroy first and see if you can detect any viruses with that
