ok i searched on the forum and i believe this is the best place to post this..if not i am sorry.

Ok, so i have never heard of gamegain before nor have i ever downloaded it. But all of a sudden my computer shut down. It booted back up and i had this big piracy notice saying i pirated the program. It showed me my IP and said that they could contact my ISP and all that. I have removed the problem because i found where it was stored (in the system folder) and it doesn't happen anymore. My main concern, and you can't blame me for being a little concerned tease.gif, is can anything happen? I have read around the net and google searched it and stuff..and others have also said that they had received this spyware..and for the ones that do have it they said it is merely a scare tactic so that u buy there product. All i would like to know is..can anything happen?..cuz i have never even heard of this program..and i think its kinda hard to find out ones ISP.

-Thanks a lot to anyone that can provide a solution to this!

Hi tmlfan,

Download HijackThis.
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/files/hijackthis.php
http://209.133.47.12/~merijn/files/HijackThis.exe
http://www.downloads.subratam.org/hijackthis.zip

If you are on Windows XP, extract the file. Do not just doubleclick on it! This opens HijackThis in a temporary folder. This would interfere with the possibility to make back-ups.

Unzip to a folder other than your Desktop or the Temp folder. Then, doubleclick HijackThis.exe, and click "Scan".

When the scan is finished, the "Scan" button will change into a "Save Log" button.
Press that and copy and paste its contents in this thread.

Most of what it lists will be harmless or even essential, don't fix anything yet. Someone will be along to tell you what steps to take after you post the contents of the scan results.

hey thanks a lot..but i had reformatted my hard drive after that came up...plus my computer was filled with spyware and virus' so i thought the best thing would be to just reformat it..and i did LOL. I'm posting here just because that message has me a little spooked and i was just wondering if anything can happen.

I didn't post a HT log because i don't need too. Everything is fine because i reformatted. I just want to know if anything can happen.

- thanks
