    I think that may be the key - perhaps 7 had left capabilities in 8 when you upgraded before from 7 to 8

    I don't remember I used 7. Perhaps you meant 6?

    I was on 6. When I was upgrading to sp3 I was given the option to upgrade to 8.

    Oh, the symptoms appeard first with 6. I accepted upgrading to 8 hoping it will solve the issue.

    Votan, you are going round in circles. I have confirmed that housecall 6.5 does not work in IE8.

    I know by now, I know.

    The puzzling thing is that I installed firefox about ten days ago and it worked for a week or so. Now it doesn't. It joined the club with 8 and 6 and there are no signs of detected viruses, and I am unable to restore.

    I am leaning to believe it is not a browser issue.

    It's usually a firewall/security issue.
    Does housecall 7 work? If so, then quit worrying about 6.5

    Yes 7 works but it scans only windows folders and subfolders.

    Incidentally, a folders 2054 in system32 folder on my computer at home and at work was detected a spyware yet that folder was empty. Any hint what that could be?

    Also, I found an ad in Windows Secret about reImage. They pretended it was developed by a top israeli intelligence. Well I tried it. It turned out it is a trojan. It seems we are not having enough of spying on us locally, the israeli are joining the club.

    Does spybot or malwarebytes find stuff in this folder? The fact that the folder LOOKED empty, doesn't mean it was.

    Read this portion:

    Finds New Viruses and Trojans
    Reimage® was designed by top Israeli Security experts. In many cases, PC instability caused by new viruses that are still undiscoverable by standard anti viruses, such as the latest Confiker worm that was covered in the news. Reimage® technology recognizes and removes these new threats.

    From here

    What is the llink for trendmicro 7 that scans all your computer.

    So you downloaded this program from an Advert on windows secret??
    Did you at least look at a review like this?

    When they say security experts, do they mean door guards? Seriously though, designing a program and implementing the code so that it works are two very different things.

    Security programs are two a penny - it's always better to get a solid recommendation before trying some flashy ad.


    You just launch housecall 7 and stare unblinkingly at the file names and you will see the pathnames flash by. I more than once caught it scanning files on my second partition.
    Never, ever approach a computer saying or even thinking "I will just do this quickly."

    Just to add some info here.

    I am using Win XP SP2 fully patched. IE7 browser of choice.

    Housecall.trendmicro.com was my goto, until I developed the same issue.

    Java or ActiveX would not execute from their site, or would just hang on DOWNLOADING UPDATES.

    Updated Java, did not help.
    HijackThis showed nothing to remove that was blocking it.
    I disabled and deleted all Addon to IE.
    I do not have any games with Rootkits - or music, but rootkit removers found nothing.
    Downloaded AVAST!, used their BootScan and found nothing.
    Uninstalled HouseCall and reinstalled both IE7 and Housecall, same result.

    Malwarebytes found nothing.
    Spybot Search&Destroy found nothing
    Lavasoft Adaware found nothing

    As I do not run any PopUp Blockers, that was not the issue.
    As I do not run a FireWall, that was not the issue.



    What I findally did - gave up on Housecall and installed AVAST! Home Edition (which is free, I like the boottime Scan) and went on, as EVERYTHING else is working fine. My router shows no suspicious traffic.


    Granted it does not "FIX" the issue.

    Did it DELETE the info on the drives or make them to where they did not appear attached?

    If by "it" you mean housecall, no I don't think so.
