Hi Kristian
Last Sunday I caught a worm under the name Symantec.exe.
Cleaned the worm with McAfee Pro. Since then I checked my
TCP/IP settings, removed and re-installed. I am still able
to connect, however lost the ability to connect to the
server, thus the No display messege and no more e-mails.
Can anyone help, please as my service provider is unable
to give any sound advice. Does it need editing the
registry? Any help is very much appreciated.
You may still have a Trojan or other malware on your system that McAfee did
not detect that is preventing you from connecting to the server. Try the
following and see if it helps:
First, download, install and run this program:
Stinger:

if still no joy, then do the following:
