I opened an attachment, which I now find out could have had: Bagel worm H,J,orK in it. My computer hasn"t done anything odd. I ran a freedom virus scan which said 0 virus'.
I'm computer duh so any answer has to be easy to understand.
Thanks all. |

Steamwiz, thanks for your reply,
panda software showed 41242 files 191 infected, 191 disinfected
housecall.trendmicro. trend active update did not update sucessfully ( tried several times)
hijackthis page cannot be displayed.
I ran panda again 0 infected
Is this good enough or should I do something else?
My isp has free anti virus, which I've called several times thinking it doesn't work now I know it doesn't.
Can anyone tell me what antivirus and firewall would be the best to purchase?? Thanks all |

I highly recommend Norton Antivirus and Personal Firewall. Get the 2003 version if you can. I think the 2004 version is too intrusive to the computer. It may come as a package "Norton Internet Security"
Good luck!

thanks Steamwiz, since I ran the hijack scan, these have been dected:
Incident Status Location
W32/Netsky.D.worm Disinfected Local Folders\Deleted Items\Re: Re: Re: Your document (document_4351.pif)
W32/Netsky.D.worm Disinfected Local Folders\Deleted Items\Re: Your document (your_document.pif)

W32/Bagle.pwdzip Disinfected Local Folders\Deleted Items\*TELUS Detected Spam* Notify about your e-mail account utilization. (Readme.zip)
I ran the hijackthis again should I post it too?
I have the xp firewall enabled, but when I go to grc.com it shows my firewall as being penetrated. I'm running Freedom antivirus also.
I want to install Norton av and fire wall , do I have to get all this problem cleared first or will norton clean it up if I install it?
Thanks all |

Hi
It's as well to clean your computer first...
empy your recycle bin, then reboot.
Then do another on-line scan
All should be clean...if it isn't let us know.
XP firewall is useless... it only works one-way...it blocks incoming but not outgoing....I would disable it immediately.
Download and install Zonealarm free firewall and AVG free anti-virus
Both are excellent and better than a lot of bought ones.
If you really want to buy one later ...OK, but for now this is your best option.
