Didilogical Virtualapp Website ????


Seems to be mixed ideas on this website, in general it suggests that if you use Microsoft products like Live Mail etc then it is "normal" to have this shown as a user and username/password on your account ????

Here is one comment for getting rid of it;

"If you want to get rid of this problem forever, then go to the control panel. Click on Adminstrative Tools. Then click on Services. Look down the list until you see "Credential Manager". You might have to go up and slide the name column over for a complete view. Right click on it, select properties. Stop the service. Above that you will see "Startup type". To the right of those words is a bar which offers a drop down list. Select "Disabed". Then click "apply" to save the changes you've made. Now virtualapp/didlogical will never appear again. This worked for me. I hope I've helped."

Here is the link where these comments were made;

Has anyone tried going to "Start" on their desktop, then clicking on control panel and when that comes up clicking on "Credential Manager"?

Do you get virtualapp Didgilogical coming up in your "Generic Credentials" ????

I am surprised nobody else is getting that showing on their pc's ?????

I use hotmail and do not have that file in my Services folder, having read the links you provided the general opinion is that it is harmless and if you delete it then it will re-generate itself once you use hotmail again, if that is so there is no point in deleting it, have you tried using hotmail after you have deleted it and then checked to see if it's back again?

I tried this and it worked for me, my only concern is it may prevent important Microsoft downloads such as anti virus protection, so I put it back on again.

The only other email address I have shown besides the Didilogical one is my Hotmail address.

"If you want to get rid of this problem forever, then go to the control panel. Click on Adminstrative Tools. Then click on Services. Look down the list until you see "Credential Manager". You might have to go up and slide the name column over for a complete view. Right click on it, select properties. Stop the service. Above that you will see "Startup type".

Wombat, in Services did you check your "Credential Manager" to see what is in that????

yes mate I did, there was no "Credential Manager" seems really strange because I do use hotmail and according to the site's it is something from hotmail.

Off to the farm this morning but I will still have int connection

Thanks John,

If you follow the instructions on that it will still keep coming back when you use any Windows product, however you can remove it altogether using the method I put in an earlier post.

I did that, but as I use mainly Windows products I decided to put it back on again as your link says it can do no harm and is needed if you are going to use Windows Live mail etc.

By the way, thanks for your other thread on GN (which I couldn't find again) it was that tipped me off on looking in the right place to see if I had anyone else using my generic credentials.....If you could find your thread and repost it on this one as a cross reference I would appreciate it, thanks.

 Vic, no need to worry about anybody using your credentials, the onlt ones you need to watch out for are Dougwe and Dazren, Mongrel is also on a learning curve to hack computers so watch out for him also biggrinbiggrin

No it had something to do with checking what access others may have to your pc, told you to go to Start, Control panel and Credentials unless I am confusing it with someone else's post, I was unable to find the thread again...
