sorry lonesome 500,

ive never seen that icon before, does magnum have their own website now? I'm thinking that they did not have one, ill look around the web n see if i find anything on that icon for ya, did ya see if its in your "Add or Remove Programs"? (that would be inside your control panel)but anyways ill look around to see if i can find anything on that for ya...Dj

[djrebel236]

I did a search on the mysterious blue square. It may be the trojan program called "regscan.exe" This link has some info.

So it's nothing bad???

I had some problem with top guns site a week or so ago too.

I'd recommend using Mozilla Firefox and not using IE.

I had the same thing pop up on a few systems at work. Secret Squirrel is dead on accurate with his information. Get rid of this keylogger. They could be trying to get information as useless as what you surf for surveys, but then again they could be getting credit card and personal information. Gotta watch out for these identity theft folks.

Just FYI, I've gone to that top gun amps website dozens of times looking for this problem but can't seem to get it. I tried IE6 and Firefox.

[lonesome 500]

it wasn't on top gun.....will try to find

i've been battling bugs since 1989....guess i won.t stop now

btw...this was labled as ''sound''.......and targets moz first


after i found it and talked with some geeks round my area....they didn't know how i even seen it on ie

I did know what to do so I did a system restore. I dont see it anymore could a system restore get rid of it.

Ive seen this a few times in the last month or two... To answer your question.. No a system restore will NOT fix the problem... I cant know for sure if thats what it is with out a HJT log file.. As said above this application was intended for Moz. Firefox.. It is hard to find and remove.. Boot your PC in safe mode and turn off the system restore before you try to remove it..

In my experiences system restore will do nothing for you except restore viruses. Sys restore uses system resources and what not and is better to turn it off. Some viruses actually use this MS tool to restore themselves.

Go to start > run > type in msconfig

Look at the start up tab and see what you have running. Also check your processes and look for anything that is out of the ordinary

Spy Bot S & D has a similar tool you can use and might be better to use since it uses a Data Base that will tell you known programs
