loveme4whoiam Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 I have a funny feeling that I've managed to pick up a virus, despite what AVG Free says. I updated Zonealarm to the latest version this morning, and for about a minute and a half the firewall was down, plenty of time for some little script-kiddie vulkwit to drop a little something onto my PC. All I know is that every time I turn my PC on now I have a period of 15 minutes where explorer seems to freeze up, and I can't load any programs but I can open My Docs etc, which is pretty wierd. Anyways, so I'm doing a full format and reinstall to fix the problem. This is just a plea for sympathy and a note saying I might be off for a day or so if I screw up or something (where'd the User News section go anyway?) Laters, but hopefully not too later, loveme4whoiam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karkarinus Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 Virus eh? A nice hot cup of lemon will be just the ticket! I had trouble a few weeks back every time I logged on to GamingSource - turned out to be something dodgy in my Favourites bookmark. I deleted it and - although it's probably fixed - now I just log straight in through the email notification. Hope you get it sorted soon, if you ever receive this message. Hurry back! *sobs*.

loveme4whoiam Posted June 23, 2006 Author Share Posted June 23, 2006 Hmm, seems to have taken, although it didn't the first time (somehow the PC mixed up my C: and my backup with all my stuff on it, so I had to install Windows twice). Looks like my absence was nothing to be noticed - carry on about your duties :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
