Gobalopper Posted January 26, 2003 Share Posted January 26, 2003 Could be a virus?http://vil.nai.com/vil/content/v_99623.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SurlyPIG Posted January 26, 2003 Share Posted January 26, 2003 Hopefully it won't be too difficult to remove...Here's a link to a free online virus scanner, in case you don't have one or in case the trojan corrupted yours (which they very often do)http://housecall.trendmicro.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zamboe Posted January 27, 2003 Author Share Posted January 27, 2003 I just run norton antivirus (which is updated) and found nothing, also adaware, my pc looks clean, however it still there (both systray and sistray)I know that one of them is a correct program, however I am confused right not about which one is the one to keep, or maybe both.Can NAV (updated every time) be corrupted by trojans ?

number6 Posted January 27, 2003 Share Posted January 27, 2003 Do you have any SiS devices on your system like a video or sound card? It may be a program that runs in the Systray or background to help you access the hardware device. I am guessing it will be okay to not run the utiltiy called sistray and I would go into the msconfig app and under the startup tab I would disable "sistray" and reboot.

I dont know what you mean. (not a natural english speaker)I do have video card and sound card, besides my mother boarth has integrated a video card and sound card, but the ones I use now are separated cards, I remember that I didn't uninstall the software of the mother board , do you think is that ?How do I edit msconfig app? with regedit ?

number6 Posted January 27, 2003 Share Posted January 27, 2003 Here is a copy and paste from a thread by Frodo where I point him to a Microsodt site that details how to use msconfig:" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

number6 Posted January 27, 2003 Share Posted January 27, 2003 Yes, but I have copied and pasted what you need to know:To start the System Configuration utility, click Start, click Run, type msconfig in the Open box, and then click OK. Next click on the "Startup" tab and you should see a list of programs with checkboxes next to them. Click off the check to deactivate the "sistray.exe" program and press the "OK" button. OYou should get a prompt to restart your system so that changes can take effect. Reboot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyarlathotep Posted January 27, 2003 Share Posted January 27, 2003 To add something, in the task manager, Systray should be there. Apart from that, follow the advice of Sherlock ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
