Default 2 Problems I can not solve


First problem is that when ever I look up any website, sometimes it just
goes to google says cannot find page. It doesn't happen all the time
just when I am trying to load a page and it also doesn't go right away
it takes awhile for it go there.

Second problem is that randomly i'll get a Microsoft Windows message
that says, "crack.exe stopped working". I have no idea what to do about
this to get it to stop.

Please help. Thank you

Crack.exe is a sign of infection as is your Internet connectivity issue.

Go through these general malware removal steps systematically -

Include scanning with David Lipman's Multi_AV and follow instructions to do
all scans in Safe Mode. Please see the special Notes regarding using
Multi_AV in Vista.

http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Multi-AV - instructions
http://tinyurl.com/yoeru3 - download link and more instructions

When all else fails, get guided help. Choose one of the specialty forums
listed at the first link. Register and read its posting FAQ. PLEASE DO NOT
POST LOGS IN THE MS NEWSGROUPS.

If you can't do the work yourself (and there is no shame in admitting this
isn't your cup of tea), take the machine to a professional computer repair
shop (not your local equivalent of BigComputerStore/GeekSquad). Please be
aware that not all local shops are skilled at removing malware and even if
they are, your computer may be so infested that Windows will need to be
clean-installed. If possible, have all your data backed up before you take
the machine into a shop.

You have tried Goggling for crack.exe of course. It will give you loads of
information.

Well I guess after all that your suggestion didn't work. I found the
crack.exe file but it wont let me delete it. I tried to end process and
everything but nothing. When I am able to delete the crack the folder
comes back. I still have no idea. Help please.
