I am about to kill myself - can someone please help?!
I have some kind of virus that is sending emails out
constantly. I know because Norton is kind enough to check
them and let me know. My programs are falling apart, the
computer locks up, files are missing, etc. I can not get
beyond the initial explorer window when I load my DSL.
Before my internet died?, I downloaded the Sasser virus
program and the latest service pack on my home computer
and loaded and installed them on the XP computer. The
computer runs better and faster, and Sasser E was detected
and supposedly fixed. What can I do now?
 
You can download SpyBot (free) and Get Adaware (also free).. these check
some of the stuff Norton won't and I personally have had good luck with
staying Virus free etc etc, so far.. before this, i had stuff almost every
week..
You might also download ZoneAlarm free firewall, unless you are using the XP
Firewall taht comes with it, you can't run them both....If you don't know
how to check if you are using the XP firewall, go into Your Control Panel,
network connections, right click on the icon for the connection and look for
'advanced' if this box is not checked, the XP firewall is not in use...
