Help needed

Hello, i have a huge problem. It seems like i have gotten a virus that sends very many emails from my computer every second. I have no idea why, i think it is some kind of virus. Because of this my CPU gets overloaded and i cant do anything. If i turn off the email protection on avast, it seems like my internet gets overloaded. Does anyone know what i can do with this? If you need pictures or anything, i will post it, just let me know what you want me to take a screenshot of.

The last thing you want to do is turn off the mail protection.
Do you have a firewall (that should be able to block unauthorised outbound connections) if so what ?

What Operating System are you using ?

You probably have a trojan SpamBot mass mailer on your system.

If you haven’t already got this software (freeware), download, install, update and run it, preferably in safe mode.

  1. Ewido, a.k.a. avg anti-spyware If using winXP. or a-Squared free if using win98/ME.

Thank you for your help. I will try this. I will let you know if it works or not.

By the way. My computer was very vurnable when i think i got the virus. I had just deleted my whole computer including windows, to kind of get a fresh start if u know what i mean.

When i think i got this virus was the same day i installed windows. The only anti virus i had was an out-dated mcafee antivirus from 2003, an old Internet Explorer version, and i still hadnt intalled any windows updates. (and i hadnt got to download avast yet either)

I do think i had a firewall though, i am 80% sure my gateway has a firewall. But to be sure i have one i would love to get a link to a free firewall download link. Thanks.

check this link to find the free firewall u want… http://www.snapfiles.com/Freeware/security/fwfirewall.html i recommend comodo firewall and zonealarm(i’m using comodo right now but i’ve tried Zonealarm too)…zonealarm is the easiest to use but both comodo and zonealarm are effective and free firewalls :wink:

Problem solved i think. Thank you for all your help. :slight_smile:

Unless you want further problems, you need to visit windows update urgently and also you appear to be using MS Virtual Machine (Java), recent updates should update this or you should remove it and use the Sun version of JAVA
