To all, I know there's some malware/trojan/virus inside my PC, because it is acting very very weird, but I can't do anything about. Although I have Norton Antivirus installed, NAV doesn't seem to be working. Spec: Dual Core CPU with 4GB RAM, XP Pro Now the symptom: There are times when I am not downloading anything, I can see the upload/download light is on, and I know there's something going on. So I try downloading hijackthis, but my Firefox keeps telling me "Firefox can't establish a connection to the server" Then I try download the rsit.exe file, Firefox again gives me that "Firefox can't establish a connection to the server" That virus or trojan has blocked me from reaching almost ALL the known anti-malware / anti-virus sites. It keeps on giving me the "Firefox can't establish a connection to the server". I tried using Opera, Google Chrome and IE to get to those sites, no luck. What is going on, and how to get rid of this malware? Please help, as I am out of idea how to fight this thing. Thank you for reading, and please help !! Wishing all a Happy Hanukkah and a Merry Christmas !! PS: And I just found out that the darn thing has erased ALL MY COOKIES !!! Please help !!!

Please help !!! One thing you can try. Try downloading again. If the same screen shows up immediately open task manager. Check the first 3 tabs for any clues. You can also try downloading from a site such as downloads.com or tucows.com. If you're still having problems I can upload it to my site and you should get it from there with no problems. I know my little site ain't gonna be on their list.

Please help !!! Some malware modifies your HOSTS file and you may have to edit it. It resides at C:\WINDOWS\System32\drivers\etc and you'll have to choose Notepad to open it up with. There should be several lines with a "#" at the beginning. Ignore these lines, they are comments. Following these comments, you should only have one line which looks like this: 127.0.0.1 localhost If you have any other lines than this, especially if they relate to the anti-malware sites you're trying to get to, delete them or add a "#" to the beginning of the line to comment them out. Save and close the file, then try browsing to the sites again. -- <Ben174> : If they only realized 90% of the overtime they pay me is only cause i like staying here playing with Kazaa when the bandwidth picks up after hours. <ChrisLMB> : If any of my employees did that they'd be fired instantly. <Ben174> : Where u work? <ChrisLMB> : I'm the CTO at LowerMyBills.com *** Ben174 (BenWright@TeraPro33-41.LowerMyBills.com) Quit (Leaving)

Unplug your modem for a minute or two and try again. Start | Run <type in> cmd /k ipconfig <enter> and see if your even connect to the internet. The blinking lights could be the modem trying to renew/aquire a license. -- MacGyver Mutli-tool http://data.tumblr.com/b9vfl4b63hhpzy6gWRWBrLx9o1_500.jpg

I'm just curious. How exactly do you do this in vista? As I don't see the command line in my start button. All I get is a "search" and anything I type there opens up windows explorer.

Perhaps in the future we should get accustomed to saying "press the win button + R". BTW, I choked on it and choked on it and choked on it and the damn thing still wouldn't start. That's when I noticed it wasn't even plugged in.

Please help !!! http://www.grc.com/default.htm From 'Hot Spots' select the Shields-Up link then select proceed, then select 'Common Ports' if the result is 'Stealth' that's good, if not report which ports are either open or closed and not 'Stealth'. Add to your reporting information if you know why any of the ports either open or closed - in other words, do you know what program requires such status. Once you've determined that and that 'Stealth is the result, you can eliminate the possibility of invasive behaviour of your machine, at least until next time something on your machine decides to call home.

"Stealth" is marketing nonsense. >Add to your reporting information if you know why any of the ports either >open or closed - in other words, do you know what program requires such >status. "Closed" is not related to a program status. >Once you've determined that and that 'Stealth is the result, you can >eliminate the possibility of invasive behaviour of your machine, at least >until next time something on your machine decides to call home. More nonsense.
