andrew7 Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 No it's not the same. Partition magic is included with the HyperOs system for the initial partitioning only. Everything with HyperOs is one click. No going into DOS to change "computers" or boot up. Plus complete system backups are done in two minutes and new computers installed/reinstalled in about the same time. Plus I can run different operating systems on each computer if i want to, say NT on one Win 98 on another, Win 2000 on another , Win XP on another etc etc.. Plus I have a separate documents drive where I save all my docs (doh). This means that if i get any problems with any of my computer systems, my saved documents are unaffected..

Sounds very good, but too much effort and hassle, 80GB usb drive, bang the VIP files on it as backup does for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember looking at this a long time ago. It sounded really interesting, but the version I looked at mainly consisted of a huge number of DOS batch files and ram-disks. Looked too complicated and like much room for mistakes to occur in the batch files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl0s Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 Worked a charm never want to have to do that again...Now its showing only one, Ive tried searching in the same pages for the firewall removal but I cant locate it, maybe you can ? [ATTACH]32037[/ATTACH] Thanks hmm I'm not sure. I've never used it before, but a quick read suggests you might need to install the separate 'Client Firewall Administrator' to achieve this. I'll have a deeper look shortly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garetheves Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 Does it Keep trying to Load something like spyfalcon adware remover? I Had that and it was doing my noodle in as I'm Not PC litterate TBH but i done a search and followed this guide and it sorted it out. This page shows you what programs it keeps trying to download And what its about ,Malware http://wiki.castlecops.com/Malware_Removal:_SpyAxe_Removal Which had the link to here on how to get rid http://malwareremoval.com/plog/index.php?op=ViewArticle&articleId=85&blogId=3 Worked a treat. Ive just recently (yesterday infact) got rid of the Spyfalcon adware off my machine. I agree it was a pain in the arse to remove as even in safe mode with explorer.exe shut down i could delete all traces off it (or so i thought) but as soon i restarted explorer it came right back at me. In the end it took a combination of hijackThis, spybot, adaware and nod 32 all running in safe mode with explorer.exe not running. So far so good. have had the odd warning from NOD 32 saying that there is a corrupt file but it quarantines it and it doesnt cause a problem. ill get to the bottom of it eventually. So bascially i would recommend the programs mentioned above, running in safe mode and then after loading the programs, close down explorer.exe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkey76364 Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 I have got this and will try your ways of getting it off my PC tonight !!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl0s Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 Lots of these difficult ones hide themselves in the Winlogon\Notify section of HKLM\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT. This means that regardless of explorer or safe mode, as soon as you log on the thing is started, and it's a .dll , not an executable that you can see in task manager.

monkey76364 Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 They are a pain in the arse... I hate spyware and other viruses. It all just takes up to much time to run scans and xclean up, and i keep mine clean as i can any way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrew7 Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 I remember looking at this a long time ago. It sounded really interesting, but the version I looked at mainly consisted of a huge number of DOS batch files and ram-disks. Looked too complicated and like much room for mistakes to occur in the batch files. I've used it for four years with no problems. And the newer versions are even better. Dunno about the DOS files etc. Mine works right off the desktop. I have an icon which reads "My Other Computers" on every desktop, one click and I can switch to another "computer" in one minute. Each computer has its own operating system and is self-contained, but I can read documents etc in any other of the computers from whichever computer I am in... I would never entertain having another computer without HyperOs installed. Before having it I was averaging at least one "Total Loss" system crash per year. That meant losing EVERYTHING!! Too frightening to think how much you could lose with the newer bigger hard drives... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supra-Dupra Posted March 27, 2006 Author Share Posted March 27, 2006 I have got this and will try your ways of getting it off my PC tonight !!!! Download this: here MAKE SURE FOLDER OPTIONS HAS NOT GOT THE HIDDEN FILES SELECTED 1. Then open it unzip it, and run it, 2. Do ctrl alt delete, click processes, the highlight explorer.exe and press End Task. then click the Applications Tag, select new task, scroll to C:\Windows\System32\ and DELETE the below files: You may not find all of them, but look for them in case you have them. C:\Windows\System32\dxmpp.dll C:\Windows\System32\ginuerep.dll C:\Windows\System32\stickrep.dll And give Step 1 a run again to remove anymore reg keys that sneaked back in. Info thanks to migs, who is a guru in denial , On mine it was the last one stickrep.dll that did the job and hasnt come back, yet I have rebooted quite a few times now so Im pretty sure its gone !

andrew7 Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 Sounds very good, but too much effort and hassle, 80GB usb drive, bang the VIP files on it as backup does for me. OK So how much hassel would this scenario be with the system setup you have now? So one night you are surfing (this happened to me) with full firewall on etc etc. All of a sudden your screen freezes, you have no control of your mouse and then you see all your dos screens flashing sequentially on your screen. Esc and Alt Ctrl Del have no effect and you have no control of you computer whatsoever. Having experienced these takeovers before I disconnected the telephone socket to prevent them getting all the info off my computer and shut down using the power supply switch on the back of the computer. When I rebooted the computer immediately tried to connect to the internet and there was still no control. The solution with HyperOs is simply. The infection is only on the computer you were using, therefore all I had to do was boot to a different computer, delete the infected computer (15 seconds) and then reinstall a new one from my backups, which takes approximately 3-4 minutes. The reinstalled computer is internet ready as it is a clone of your original system (you can modify your systems for you own usage and then save them as backups - great for any gamers). The infection is gone (and it was a really nasty one) and I'm back surfing again five minutes later.. How would you have got your system running again?
