get rid of something on screen

what did you type into google Rosa....

if it the spyware programs then the post that mentions it has the links provided.

 

yes it is in the same box as bo8.exe but at the top i noticed it when i went back sorry to confuse you. When i log back in again i will write down everything it has in this box and let you know

 

It`s surprising how many pc`s that slow to a crawl have a p2p program installed

Ideal testing grounds for new virii, exploits and hacks

 

the hp refers to your printer i believe.......do you have or have you had a hp printer?

 

not really a good idea to frighten people with posts like this........

better to advise, people on what they should and shouldn't do with peer2peer programs.....also if like me your computer is locked down and run firewall/virus/spyware/trojan programs when you use peer2peer then like me you won't ever have a problem.

Yes i have a hp psc 1317 all-in-one printer and i havnt a clue what hex is going on about i told you i am not computer literate. What is peer2peer i have never heard of it.

 

I checked it again it seems to have changed from the other i gave you for some reason.
hpqthbo8.exe-application error
The application failed to initialize properly {0xc0000135}. click on ok to terminate the application ok

 

I typed in the bo8exe and google came up with about three error programs so i clicked onto one of them and downloaded it, That is fine now as i deleted it off my system

 

don't worry what hex said a peer2peer is a program that runs on your computer for you to download anything you want.....dvd's/music/mp3/software etc. But you can also get viruses/spyware etc from downloading them.

 

cool

 

I`m sorry if i worried anyone with my earlier comment. I think people should be aware of the potential risks of the darker side of the net.

Your firewall must be configured to allow the p2p program internet access to and from your pc, so it is authorised access, the firewall will let it through

P2P networks are referred to as "file sharing networks" so the traffic goes both ways..
how else would the network know what mp3`s etc,etc are stored on your hard drive

 

I am not too good on computer jargon, I have norton security installed which i would assume has me protected.
This, that is coming up i would say has something to do with hp as i have an hp printer, scanner.
As for the other you are mentioning P2P etc. pc medic will be able to answer this for you, as i havnt a clue.
