three warnings flashed up when running this program:- u torrant =trojan, CWS.Searchmeup= hijacker, ISTBAR= HIJACKER. PLEASE INFORM me if these are the ones because i have the web address fo all of them.

Hi,

I have no idea what "advanced vista optimiser" is, but I would see if it has
an "undo" function to fix the damage its done. Sounds like some malware has
taken over the system.

I have a feeling that your 'optimizer' is the malware.

Go to this web site, bookmark it and then use the e-mail contact link to
Mark Hastings, the author of the web site. In the e-mail, explain exactly
what has happened and supply the link for 'Advanced Vista Optimizer'..

Hi ,Rick and Mike further to this saga of mine, the programme in question is Advanced Vista Optimizer 2008 and from there web site selling point it is supported by microsoft. I would be happy to say the problem was recified this morning, but as i log on, windows problem box flashed up saying it can,t connect due to it can,t find any D.N.S. After having a look round my network connections they had all been turned off and messed about with. Basically i could not log on but the incoming connection was still active if you get what i mean.For now the emergancy is over, for now cheers both for all your input.Will keep you updated.

Anybody can copy the Microsoft Certified Gold Partner logo onto their
website.

Stay away from any program which promises to fix all ills. They never work
the way that the promises suggest..

i know this aint anything what your thinking of but if you wanna optimize vista a bit try using registry mechanic with a crack code but keep that code just incase it trys to update
