Some help needed..

[lorne]

Greetings all,

I seem to have contracted the evil shut down in 60 sec. virus. I
reformatted my hard drive installed win xp pro and as soon as i plugged in
my internet to get my updates, i got the dreaded shutting down in 60 sec
warning. I unplugged my internet, ran stinger (found and corrected 2
infections). Restarted the computer, ran AVG (didn't find anything), ran
stinger again (didnt find anything), plugged in the internet to do the
updates.... bang... 60 sec warning!! disconnected the internet, tried to
run avg (won't run) went into safe mode, ran stinger (didnt find anything).
checked the registry (run, run once, run service etc). everything looked
good. rebooted, plugged in the internet and bang.... 60 second warning.

What should i do now??

thank you all for suggestions.

Don't go to the internet without a good firewall in place.

first turn on the cheap xp firewall before connecting to
the net. then go to windows update for patches for the bill

Turn on your firewall.
