Hi my first post so apols if I dont do this right. Have been using
groups and have found them very helpful so far. Unitl now....

Had Voyager 2090 wireless broadband. My computer was fine with no
problems, was running AVG. Scanned a downloaded file and no virus
found. Opened file and virus inside! Microsoft antipsyware picked it up
and quaratined and i deleted it thinking nothing of it.

Next my internet stops working, all my network connections go haywire
(my bluetooth adaptor, lan ethernet fastport, and wireless. Tried my
best to fix, reinstalled windows.

Now if I try to reinstall the wireless modem the sytem doesnt
acknoweldge it and i have to install my old modem. my ps2 ethernet
works fine but if i try the modem with ethernet, the connections still
has a big red cross beside it - as do all the other connections. I used
to be able to pick up wireless connections in the local area.

Im also sometimes having to taks manager quite often to stop my screen
from freezing, sometimes my cpu is high when im not running much (and I
know it shows it in reverse).

Basically ive searched the groups and im getting conflicting answers.
Ive scnned mmy computer, in safe mode, with avg, norton and many web
based AV's. Im clean apparently. But i dont buy it. I have a feeling it
has something to do with the RPC????? Because when I run AVG it get MBR
error or something, sorry Im so out of my depth!

And worse i dont know what virus i could even possibly have so i
totally at a loss. At one time all my network connections were active
and now the option to 'enable' cant even be chosen, only the 'disable'
option.

Please someone help! Sorry about the essay, heck maybe i should do my
dissertation on a virus.

Chris (crying quitely in the corner)

If Microsoft anti spyware (soon to be Windows Defender) caught it then it is
most likely not
a virus but adware/spyware.

For non-viral malware...

Please download, install and update the following software...

* Ad-aware SE v1.06
http://www.lavasoft.de/
http://www.lavasoftusa.com/

* SpyBot Search and Destroy v1.4
http://security.kolla.de/

After the software is updated, I suggest scanning the system in Safe Mode.

I also suggest downloading, installing and updating BHODemon for any Browser
Helper Objects
that may be on the PC.

* BHODemon
http://www.definitivesolutions.com/bhodemon.htm

For viral malware...

* Download MULTI_AV.EXE from the URL --
http://www.ik-cs.com/programs/virtools/Multi_AV.exe

To use this utility, perform the following...
Execute; Multi_AV.exe { Note: You must use the default folder C:\AV-CLS }
Choose; Unzip
Choose; Close

Execute; C:\AV-CLS\StartMenu.BAT
{ or Double-click on 'Start Menu' in C:\AV-CLS }

NOTE: You may have to disable your software FireWall or allow WGET.EXE to go
through your
FireWall to allow it to download the needed AV vendor related files.

C:\AV-CLS\StartMenu.BAT -- { or Double-click on 'Start Menu' in C:\AV-CLS}
This will bring up the initial menu of choices and should be executed in Normal
Mode.
This way all the components can be downloaded from each AV vendor's web site.
The choices are; Sophos, Trend, McAfee, Kaspersky, Exit this menu and Reboot the
PC.

You can choose to go to each menu item and just download the needed files or you
can
download the files and perform a scan in Normal Mode. Once you have downloaded
the files
needed for each scanner you want to use, you should reboot the PC into Safe Mode
[F8 key
during boot] and re-run the menu again and choose which scanner you want to run
in Safe
Mode. It is suggested to run the scanners in both Safe Mode and Normal Mode.

When the menu is displayed hitting 'H' or 'h' will bring up a more comprehensive
PDF help
file. http://www.ik-cs.com/multi-av.htm
