thejailender Posted May 2, 2004 Share Posted May 2, 2004 Not sure if it is a virus or not that my PC has picked up, but now every time I turn the PC on it automatically wants to connect to the internet. My Norton's anti-virus is fully up to date, but says there is no infectied files. It did however find one this morning but it says all the usual stuff such as it has been quarentined etc.. I am using Windows98 so I don't think I can catch this new worm visus "Saseer" as it only ges Windows 2000, XP etc. Anyone got any help or ideas ??

Check your start-up folder in 'Programs' via the Start Menu, or go to Run and type 'msconfig', then go to start-up. If you try both, you'll know whether it's virus related or not.

thejailender Posted May 2, 2004 Author Share Posted May 2, 2004 Cheers Mannie. I went in to the Msconfog and had a wee look around the sturt-up section, there was a few programs I had no idea what they were, so by the process of elimination I worked out which was making it dial-up, and un-checked the box.. So far it seems to be working. I was kind of worried incase I had this bug which is doing the rounds that dieal a premium rate number from you PC. It charges you around £1.50 a minute and the length of time I can spend on here that would soon add up to a good amount. Hopefully when the phone bill comes in it won't be any worse than normal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Div Posted May 2, 2004 Share Posted May 2, 2004 Almost certainly some form of spyware. Everyone should download and run SpyBoy Search and Destroy. It's totally free and gets rid of any spyware on your 'puter; ** click here and go get it ** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RH33 Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 I have a virus in mine and I can't get rid of it. Every time I log online it shuts my entire system down. I can't get online long enough to down load any patches. Anyone got any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
