Thread Reminders:
1. Before posting your issue, please try to initially read the first page of the thread. <click here for link>
2. Keep the thread clean. And stick to the topic.
3. Be patient. You don\'t have to repeat yourself. There are other people who can also answer your inquiry aside from the VSRT members. Most of us are volunteers in other sites too and we stop by here to help if we can steal more time from real life and our families, so please be patient. Then we look quickly for folks with no replies to help out. We hope you understand.
4. Don\'t post links to warez and cracks, doing so may get you banned.
5. When posting pictures of screenshots and other things related to the topic, please limit it to 640x480 pixels. Anything beyond that will be reported to our mods for immediate deletion.
6. Upload your HiJackThis and/or other logs to our 4Shared account, and create a folder with your name in it. <click here for link>
7. If our tools are detected as virus (like Win32/Packed.Themida), exclude the tool to be scanned by your antivirus. Better yet disable your AV temporarily as you run the tool/s.
8. Our fixes are implied without warranty. Use at your own risk.
9. No spoonfeeding and text speak here in the forum and anywhere else in TipidPC/CP.
10. Please don\'t email or PM anyone from the VSRT members for \"personal\" HJT/virus help. We all benefit when a problem is discussed in the open.
11. Not all error/s you get in Windows is/are caused by a virus. If this is so, then your issue will be out of the topic. However, we can still help you figure out if it is a virus problem or not, but then afterwards you may look for another forum for a solution.
12. Sorry, but we can not provide support for those using illegitimate and/or unlicensed Software. As much as possible, we keep piracy to a minimum or zero level at all times.
13. Those who violate the TPC-VSRT Rules and Regulations will be ignored of their issue, unless they manage to correct their mistake/s.
14. People who may be interested in joining the TipidPC Virus & Spyware Removal Team may PM me (Yohan831)
15. We are not 24/7 online, and we are a non-profit, all-volunteer group. If you cannot wait for us to get a solution, better ask another forum instead of wailing wildly and complaining.
16. The TPC-VSRT thread cannot be utilized as a source of information for income-generating purposes such as Malware removal services and the like, and other unnecessary means. Any actions undertaken may lead to banning from this thread.
