Advice Needed Please

Hi All.

I was wondering if anyone can advise me. Our computer was inflicted with
the Netsky.D worm on March 1st. Yesterday I managed to get rid of it,
thanks to a download from Norman. We have had Norman antivirus software
running on our machine since last year but even though it is up-to-date it
couldn't get rid of the worm without an extra download from their website.
Now the problem is I am subscribed to quite a few newsgroups and none of
them are showing any new posts after March 1st. I have checked via Google
to make sure there have been new posts made and there has been many. I seem
to be able to make a post myself and it show up but other people's posts
aren't, thus if anyone thinks they can help me could you please email me
(e-mail address removed)21.co.uk . Do you think the worm has altered my settings
(I've tried tweaking Tools and View, but have had no success) or that this
is nothing to do with Netsky? It just seems strange that we got the virus
on the 1st and that's when the newsgroup posts stopped.

Many thanks for your time.

Try using another newsreader and see if the problem happens with them.
I suggest you try www.forteinc.com FreeAgent and www.40tude.com/dialog
Dialog.

If the other clients work then try removeing the news server from OE's
account list and add it again (bit of a pain i know!) and see if that
fixes your problem.
