How to Remove "Msn Block Checker" !
Hi i am sure that most of u are getting msgs on msn about a program called Msn block checker
Block-checker is ad-aware which once downloaded will enter its own registry file and will get into your firewall. It attempts to download ad aware from other sites like :www.spootie.com www.system-processes.com www.block-checker.com Step 1: Killing the processes Download Sysinternals' "Process Explorer" from http://www.sysinternals.com/Utiliti...ssExplorer.html and install it. Open Process Explorer and kill "csrss.exe" first. To avoid killing the wrong csrss.exe process, look at the "User Name" column which lists who has started the process. If it is "SYSTEM" or "NT AUTHORITY" or the likes, then it means it is the legit windows process started by Windows itself and shouldn't be killed. If it is your username/computername then it means the csrss.exe process has started up as a normal user program and thus is not legit and the fake one. This is the one you need to kill... While still in Process Explorer, kill "block-checker.exe" if it is still there. Or u can try Ctrl + Alt + del and stop csrss.exe processes the one u see the name of ur computer next to it Step 2: Removing the files Uninstall the block checker by going to "Add/Remove Programs" in the control panel. Go into "C:\Program Files" and delete the folder labelled "Block Checker" (where C:\ is the drive you installed Windows on) if it is still there. Delete the "exclusion_AOL.ini", "exclusion_MSN.ini" and "exclusion_Yahoo.ini" files located in windows' system folder (C:\Windows\System). Clean out your recycle bin to totally remove the files from your Hard Disk. Step 3: Fixing the registry Open your registry editor (Start > Run > regedit.exe) and navigate to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Cur r entVersion\Run" and delete the key named "block-checker". (For a small tutorial on this, go to this site, because deleting the wrong keys could corrupt Windows). Note: The reason why you need to use a program like "Process Explorer" to do this is because the Task/process Manager of Windows itself refuses to kill "csrss.exe" as it always thinks it is a system process...
