Viruses

[Adnan]

I have had HUGE problems with hacker viruses lately. It seems that the problem I am having may be linked to time when I am actively logged in at the AO website. Not sure, since I am not the 'puter savey, but I sense a connection.

Anyone else having this problem?

Yeah me too!!! My internet explorer has bee extremely unstable lately and anything that requires a password I am locked out of. I think there is something going around and it hasnt been reported yet.
Its not the mydoom thing either because my virus software is updated and hasnt detected it yet.
I,ve also had a problem with the windows update page also. Have you?

Yes, Windows Update hangs up. Norton Update hangs up unless I do it immediately after restarting my 'puter.

Hackers should be drawn and quartered v e r y s l o w l y.

yes, i too have had problems. seems sometimes i am unable to open things, and some times when i try to connect to the web thru arrianna, it connects but then all i have is a white screen and my timer on, finally it will claim it can't find the site. :? happened a lot about 2 wks. ago- not so much lately. i had my phone lines checked- they were o.k.. my server couldn't explain it and felt a virus was possible.

I tried this program and it fixed some of my problems. Its a free adware removal tool and is a lot safer to use than most of the crap you find on the net. I still have problems with windows update and some secure sights but otherwise my system is working a lot better.
THe program is caleed "spybot search and destroy". Just be care with what you remove.
