http://dcwg.org/ have you heard of the virus that's set to go Monday? Here's the site to check and see if your computer is infected.

hmmmm, apparently Ilivid carries this with it: Trojan-Downloader.win32.Agent.bmza

Still doing some digging. It seems I've gotten rid of the problem so far.

Somehow I installed this download manager or whatever it is. I thinik it was bundled with another software (maybe ccleaner). Apparently Ilivid has a good reputation with some reputable sites because from what I've read just today, it has a 5 star rating from download.com.

But for the past month I've had horrible problems with a very slow computer. Very slow. It got so bad that I thought it was just the browser I used so I switched back to Firefox. Same problem with Firefox but with one exception: I could not designate a homepage of my own. It kept defaulting back to some searchqu.com. So after a little investigating, one suggestion to "clean up" my computer was to go to C:\Program Files\Windows iLivid Toolbar\Datamngr\ToolBar and delete the program. Other suggestions were to download this or that malware scanner (which I did) but nothing was detected. I didn't even know I had Ilivid installed on my computer. I went to the directory as suggested and found the program with an uninstall feature. I uninstalled it (I couldn't do an uninstall via Windows Control Panel because the program didn't show up in the list) and immediately after the uninstall my computer is 5+ times faster. I can't believe the change. Has anyone else had this experience with Ilivid?

I can see the different pull down menus but if I chose something, nothing happens and the background flickers. It's not an old computer (within 5 years) and runs XP fine. I suppose I have to play with the bios settings or something else over my head?

in back and nack i cannot see the black checker when there's only one checker on a point and it's on the opposite side. it;s harder to see against the red and purple backgrouds. i tried all the other backrounds, it doesn't change the bd. colors. i changed from font to castle and simple. i have real good eyesite and no problem when it on my side and i have made the bd larger and smaller.. what about graphics, can we change that and would that help? i have no problem with any other games.

I have been having NOTHING but trouble with slow slow slow Brainking.  My browser would always say "waiting for Brainking" so naturally I thought it was just here.  But, I started to notice that other sites were running as slowly.  So, I used my guest account on this computer thinking it was all the stuff that loads on my main account.  Nope, still ran badly.  Sooooo I switched to Google Chrome just for fun.  And guess what?  Everything is faster than lightening.  So I guess it is in my FireFox browser.  What could cause it to run so slowly?  Is it that script checker???  It's way too annoying.  I can go from page to page now at the click and load time is in a blink.  ;)

It doesn't sound like I virus.   It sounds like you've had a program installed onto your computer.  How long have you had the computer and do you have a restore point on your computer?  If you do, you could restore it to an earlier date and see if that helps.

At a recent computer
expo (COMDEX), Bill Gates reportedly compared the computer industry
with the auto industry and stated "If GM had kept up with technology
like the computer industry has, we would all be driving twenty-five
dollar cars that got 1000 mi/gal."

Recently General Motors addressed this comment by releasing the
statement: "Yes, but would you want your car to crash twice a day?"

Not only that, but....

Every time they repainted the lines on the road you would have to buy a new car.

Occasionally your car would die on the freeway for no reason, and you would just accept this, restart and drive on.

Occasionally, executing a maneuver would cause your car to stop and
fail and you would have to re-install the engine. For some strange
reason, you would accept this too.

You could only have one person in the car at a time, unless you bought
"Car95" or "CarNT". But, then you would have to buy more seats.

Macintosh would make a car that was powered by the sun, was reliable,
five times as fast, twice as easy to drive, but would only run on five
percent of the roads.

The Macintosh car owners would get expensive Microsoft upgrades to their cars, which would make their cars run much slower.

The oil, gas and alternator warning lights would be replaced by a single "general car default" warning light.

New seats would force everyone to have the same size butt.

The airbag system would say "are you sure?" before going off.

If you were involved in a crash, you would have no idea what happened.

this will tell you you're not alone with your problem :)

I think it's a DivX problem.  from the second site:
Guest
This
is a super simple fix. I just went through the same problem. all you
have to do is download the divx codec. go to divx.com and download the
divx codec. its free and will allow you to work. good luck guys

and

I downloaded DivX (free version) and installed it after experiencing the no video problem with .avi files and it solved it.

Let us know if that solves it  ;:)
