Private Declare Function SendMessage Lib "user32" Alias "SendMessageA" (ByVal hWnd As Long, ByVal wMsg As Long, ByVal wParam As Long, lParam As Any) As Long The following VB code I just wrote is based on this article. It uses some undocumented features in Windows Shell to retrieve this information. Shell Tray Info - Arrange your system tray icons Google search revealed the following article on top regarding this topic.
Is it possible to do, in VB, what I ws asking in the original thread ie list all apps/icons running in the system tray? Basically doing the same thing as the adware was doing in the first place!!!Ģ. All the guy wanted to really do was get me to pay $70 (a sum that is meanigless to me, I'm afraid!) to us their consultation facility to remove the adware. I spent about an hour chatting online to Symantec "technical support" last night. Obviously the adware was pointing to anti spy/ad ware products ut the method of advertising put me off!! Avast seems sucessful.ġ.
Have a purple pointy pip for the suggestion. The absolute best bit is that the irritating sys tray popups are gone though I'm in danger of letting that lull me into a false sense of security. Home page has been hijacked and despite running Avast a couple of times at boot up and quarantining found threats I can still find the same problems if I run it again!! You will receive the same prompts again.That appears to have done the trick though I still have doubts about the full cleanliness of my pc. To have AVG start again with Windows go back into the Config Utility, recheck 'avgcc'. 'Check' the box 'Do not show me this message again' and click ok. After your computer restarts you will get a 'nag' notification box that you have made changes to the Configuration Utility. You will be asked to restart your computer, select 'Restart'. In the 'System configuration utility' select the 'Startup' tab and deselect (uncheck) the box by 'avgcc' (avgcc.exe/startup). To stop AVG from restarting on reboot go to the MS Config Utility, click 'Start', click 'Run', type in (msconfig) without the quotes and click 'OK'. It will start up again however, if you should reboot your computer. To disable AVG, right click on the AVG icon in the system tray (by the clock), and click on 'Quit AVG Control Center', that will shut down AVG. If you plan on keeping Avast I would uninstall AVG either by using 'Programs/AVG/AVG uninstall' or 'Control Panel'. Like 'genes' and 'raven' said, you should not have more than one antivirus program running at the same time.
