Not mentioning any names (this could just be coincidence), but since running an exe that someone posted on the General QA board, I get warnings from my firewall that a prog is trying to access the internet.
The prog name is a symbol.
How do I get rid of the thing?
What's the program name?
some kind of symbol, cant remember what exactly. pops up every few days.

We can't help you until we know the name of the program.
What's the file path?
my firewall doesnt report the path.
just says *symbol* is trying to access the web
*symbol* is a symbol Ive never seen before ( has an S in it tho)
Could you take a screen shot what your firewall reports? (it prtscn and paste into your favorite image editor)....
BTW, your firewall should have a log file...
Thanks Dennis. Ill try to get a screen shot next time.
The log converts the symbol to a vertical line and doesnt say anything about a path.
friend of mine ran some utility on my computer (cant remember the name of it) that listed all running progs with checkboxes by them. One prog was just a checkbox with a blank line. We unchecked it and havent had a reoccurrence yet. I still want to get rid of the prog though.
Was it msconfig?
yes it was
