I've ventured onto the boards Faultline told me about and posted my question about the Malware and am now recieveing help - thanks Fault! I doubt I'll reformat now, let's just hope they can take care of this silly malware. Grr...

The technical expertise I've found over there is second to none. Hope to see you back in the servers soon.

**Faultline** · 10-22-2005, 02:23 PM

I bumped your topic over there.

**Deveran** · 10-24-2005, 02:21 PM

Thanks for the bump, I'm thinking it might be helping =P

Sadly, I can't play anymore. My 15 minutes of fame were over and I'm back to sqaure one. The same error that appeared before is appearing again!

Didi you check this link ?

I keep getting kicked by PunkBuster for "Insufficient O/S Privileges"?

Download and run this file from any location, it will check for adware that stops you from being able to play on PB servers. The VX2 adware edits your user rights when it infects your computer, and many programs do not repair this when they remove it.

http://www.greyknight17.com/spy/VX2Finder(126).exe

Click the "Find VX2.betterinternet info" button to make sure that you don't have this adware. If there are no files listed, go on to the last step. If you find the adware files, (it is usually 3 random named dll files) Select all the files found.

Press 'Delete These Files'. The program will delete all files but one that will be deleted on reboot. Allow program to reboot. Once Restarted:

Press 'Guardian.reg'.
Press 'User Agent'.
Press 'Restore Policy'.
Clicking on "find vx2.BetterInternet info" again should show all fields blank.
If you have no adware files, just click on the "Restore Policy" Button

Yep, I ran that once and it didn't do anything. I reDLed BF2 again and did that again and this time I deleted all my Anti-spyware and firewalls that were running before I entered BF2. Surprisingly, it worked. I'm able to play some BF2 for awhile =) Oh! And almost all the pop-ups are gone now. Just have this one small one that popups maybe every 30 minutes. Still not good, but we'll get rid of it! Thanks for all the help everyone =)

Did you click "Restore Policy" Button ?

You can also try to create new Windows account.

**Deveran** · 10-24-2005, 09:18 PM

Yep, I've done that. It seems to be working now, not sure for how long...but atleast I know I can get it back on if need be =)

**Deveran** · 10-27-2005, 01:39 PM

The malware has vanished! Thanks for all the help from everyone. I believe it was my Anti-virus/spyware/firewall that was not allowing me to get into the game. I now disable them before I hop in game and I am fine to go! Now I'm back to my orginial problem, graphical errors! BAH!

=P
