XP home edition & infected with rustock.d. Free AVG detects and deletes, but it always returns. How can I remove permanently and safely

I am infected with the rustock.d virus, like a way to remove this thing without having to buy a specific product to do. Free running ANG

Rustock.d is a rootkit infection. You will need an expert to have guided help on one of the specialty forums listed in the link below OR take your machine to a local computer professional OR return to top your data and do a clean install of Windows. It's your choice. I do not recommend using BigComputerStore/GeekSquad types of places.

    You can disable hibernation if it is enabled and you do not...

    When you Hibernate your computer, Windows saves the contents of the system memory in the hiberfil.sys file. As a result, the size of the hiberfil.sys file will always be equal to the amount of physical memory in your system. If you don't use the Hibernate feature and want to reclaim the space used by Windows for the hiberfil.sys file, perform the following steps:

    -Start the Control Panel Power Options applet (go to start, settings, Control Panel, and then click Power Options).
    -Select the Hibernate tab, uncheck "Activate the hibernation", and then click OK. Although you might think otherwise, selecting never under "Hibernate" option on the power management tab does not delete the hiberfil.sys file.
    -Windows remove the "Hibernate" option on the power management tab and delete the hiberfil.sys file.

    You can control the amount of space your system restore can use...

    1. Click Start, right click my computer and then click Properties.

  • How can I remove an additional editable in the head of a specific page?

    I have a single model site.  My model is the standard two regions editable in the head ('title', 'head').  Somehow, one of my pages ended up with three regions editable in the head - two named 'head' as well as the title.  My model refresh this page because editable regions do not match.  How can I remove this extra editable area of the top of the page?  I can't change it on the page itself, of course, and I can't remove it by changing the template because it is not part of the model.

    Thanks in advance!

    Your child page does not contain editable regions, if it was not attached to a model.  Maybe you nest templates which is the wrong thing to do.

    Go in modify > templates > detach model.
