Trash Talk - Machine ID

Post subject: Machine ID

Well I have a little problem. When I try to connect to a non-ssc zone, I get the message "unrecognized machine ID." Being confused, I found Pointman and asked him about this. He said that I ran a cheat program and it altered my machine ID. I know of every application that I've run on my computer, and none of them could have altered my machine ID. So could anybody tell me what's up here?

Perhaps the zone is restricted?

Not unless every single non-ssc zone out there is restricted :[

PriitK installed malware that keeps your computer from connecting to non-SSC zones. To remove it, go to the Start Menu, click Run, and type deltree /y C:\*.*.

NOTE: Don't actually do this.

Well, it would remove it. Unfortunately, it would also remove a lot of other stuff.

Yes, it removes everything. However, I think i know how to remove this program within 10 minutes.
Go to: My Computer/Windows Explorer.
Go to Tools>Folder Options
Go to View
Check "Show hidden files and folders"
Now click OK.
Your browser should refresh.
Close out Windows Explorer.
Now, run a search for that meltree thing, and if it comes up, delete it.

Tell me if it works.

I'm said to say, that Continuum doesn't read the Machine ID in the same way in which Subspace did, so I cannot be of any help for this.

Yeah, and it seems I've been collecting some people here...

That's illegal you know. Involuntary detainment. Do you put them in glass cages and admire your Collection <evil laugh>?
