Hello to all. I was cleaning the TONS of spyware my 18-yr old daughter had
managed to accumulate on her D4300 and now I've gone and trashed her network
connectivity. I think I got a bit too aggressive in deleting and renaming
some suspicious files, then I turned OFF system restore to clean everything
out, and now I'm getting a message when I try to repair the network that it
can not get an IP address renewal.
I deleted ALL the entries in the hosts file, thought that might have screwed
everything up so I copied the "hosts" file from my laptop, "127.0.0.1
loacalhost", thinking that would fix me up. Obviously, it didn't because
here I am. The network icon shows the speed of 100bps with "little or no
connectivity".
I wish I could remember each and every file I "fixed" with HiJack-this and
each suspicious ".exe" file I renamed, but I cant. "rddd.exe" was one of
them and I couldn't locate any info on it. Also "lrrrar.exe"
Any help will be appreciated, all her schoolwork and such is on the machine
and I would hate to have to reinstall windows again.
Thanks in advance for any lifelines you can toss my way and regards,
Morey G.
