Dudes i got a message from 2 of my friends yesterday i clicked got a file off 1 my bad
IT said something like “see my new pick in profile”
Don’t get these
it keeps bringing up webpages
On the + side when i start up my computer my Windows firewall ask me if i want to let C:\windows\system32\drivers\helpsys to work i did the first time today and got the problem now Ive restarted and not aloud it thru but i cant get on msn i also scanned the folder with avast and didn’t find any viruses
the file i downloaded from the msn link does not show as a virus eather Ive zipped it up with .rar but don’t know how to put “virus” for the pw so i can send it to avast… can some1 tell me?
That email was NOT from your friend, but someone using
your friend's eamil address to fool you . In the future,
ALWAYS ask if they ACTUALLY sent it .
And when ALWAYS posting on a forum, mention the name
of your Operating System, because the recommended
"solution" depends upon it .
I doubt you have a "virus"; probably something worse,
like a "Spam Bot"; what other security programs do you
have on your computer ?
i used avast it didnt find it i used Adaware SE after i updated it didnt find it
avast did call it a virus when it came up it gave me the option to close connection ( I think ) to the thing so i did but it didnt work :D. its not attacked me since i last restarted windows firewalled just didnt accept it. not gotten rid of tho hay?
Since you have now mentioned you have Win XP, I
recommend you use "Ewido" from www.ewido.net/en ;
this good & FREE program "specializes" in detecting &
removing trojans, worms, generic dialers and what I
think you may have, namely a "Spam Bot" . There is a
tutorial at : www.greyknight17.com/spy/Tutorials/ewidoQuickGuide.pdf .
