[thelist] Virus problem

[Gina K. Anderson]

First, you need to know what you are dealing with. I suggest you start with an
online virus scanner, and a trojan scanner.

You can get an online virus scan at:
http://housecall.antivirus.com/pc_housecall/

http://www.mcafee.com/myapps/clinic/protect/ov_scan.asp?
I believe this one will clean the virus as well.

You can download a trojan scanner here:
www.moosoft.com
It's called The Cleaner

I would say using any one of these will clean whatever is there, but you will
probably at least get the name of the virus or trojan. Then, let us know, so we
can help you out more.

HTH,
Gina

|Hi!
|I have some problems with a virus. These are the symptoms:
|- When I start my computer, the internet connection is automatically
|activated.
|- Disease-filled mails are sent to the people on my mailing list.
|- Free space in my hard disk is used by unknown -and undetectable (for me)-
|dark forces. I don´t know if this last symptom is
|   related with the other two, but both started about the same time.
|
|Does anyone:
|Knows which virus(es) I´m dealing with?
|Knows an updated vaccine?
|
|Thanks in advance, good luck.
|
|Manuel
