 - Please help ! Need a fix. I am running win xp, McAfee home 7.0 and I don't know what has entered my computer. Every time I try to log onto Google, I get a message stating that my computer has installed a program that will not allow me to get to google. It then goes on to give directions on how to remove a file and even has an address to report it to the FCC. That's just the beginning, I can't use any type of search engine. If I try the explorer search on the tool bar I get the "can not open page" message. This also happens on any search type site, including yahoo search, cnn search and so on. I have tried the McAffe scan and it says my system is fine, even with the McAffe update. I have tried to reinstall explorer from microsoft and downloaded all xp patches. Please help! Thanks.

 - What to do if your Hotmail Account is Hacked?!? I have a friend who obtained a virus, and because of this, all of her passwords that she typed into her computer while infected had been compromissed. Before she learned of this, the hacker had already changed her Hotmail account's password and secret question. My friend has registered accounts at other sites (such as PayPal.com) with this e-mail. this hacker can now go to these sites, and click the "Forgot Password" link and have it e-mail these passwords to the Hotmail account that he controls (assuming the hacker is a man). What steps can be taken to regain control of this hotmail acount? Does MSN monitor abnd log the IP addresses of users that sign into the .NET Passport system? If so, how does one request this information? Any information, advise, links to sites with information, or numbers of people who to contact would be extrememly helpful.

 - Google bug! First of all, I have limited knowledge with how computers work. I don't know where else to turn to for help. Any recomendations will be appreciated. I have been receiving a message when I try to go to google.com. The page says that my computer is running software that does not let me get in to google. However, I have learned that I can't get into any search engine type of program. I have tried the grey search box on yahoo and I get the message "page can not be opened." If I click on the magnifing glass, search button on my tool bar, I get the same message, "page can not be opened." I don't know what I have done. I have McAffee home virus 7.0 with fire wall. I have tried that with updates and still nothing. Something else, on the same google page, it give directions on how to remove google from the host file. I don't know if I should attempt these instructions, because I really don't know who is behind it. Any thoughts will be appreciated! Tag: The info everyone needs.... Tag: 34615

 - sandbox software for running untrusted software Given all the trouble with running untrusted or unknown software on your machines, it might be worth checking out Safe Launch from www.safelaunch.com. Safe Launch allows you to run untrusted programs in a virtual sandbox. This sandbox will popup a window to let you know if the program is trying to modify files, modify the registry, or even trying to connect out over the internet. You can decide whether to allow or deny the activity to occur. Best advice is always to not run executable attachments that arrive by email from unknown sources, but often you receive or download software from the internet that you really want to run. This tool allows you to do it safely without compromising your machine. BTW, I'm sorry if this comes across sounding like an advertisement, it not meant to be. This tool could be of value to striving to keep their system secure. Makes it easy to spot trojans trying to install themselves... Tag: The info everyone needs.... Tag: 34506

 - blocking trojan horses and find out more about attacker? I've recently started using Norton firewall and am surprised to see how many "pings" my computer gets in my activity log. Most of the pings are "unused port blocking has blocked communications". But several times a day, more so just recently, my computer is being attacked by "Backdoor Subseven Trojan Horse". The firewall blocks the communication, but it's been happening 15-20 times per day (it used to only be a couple times each day). I've also been running Norton anti-virus with a Live update. It hasn't detected anything on my computer. Is there a chance that this Trojan horse is coming from within my machine and Norton hasn't picked up on it? Or are all these coming from other computers hitting my IP? I've noticed that many of the IP's attacking mine are the same. I've checked them with arin (whois?) but what does that info tell me? Can I report them anywhere? How? I'm grateful that the attacks are being blocked, but I'm tired of constantly closing the high-alert window every time it happens. Any advice on what to do now that I know their IP? Thanks! Pam Tag: The info everyone needs.... Tag: 34502

 - need new firewall & anti-virus I've been having problems with Norton firewall & AV, as many websites do not display properly. This especially happens on pop-up boxes that come up blank, blank images, etc. Symantec's answers haven't fixed this (I've disabled ad blocking, NIS, NAV, to no avail.) I customize settings for a specific website, which has worked only once so far. So I'm ready to try something new for my Windows 98 and DSL: (1) if you have McAfee, do you have similar experiences with web pages? (2) do "free" firewalls & AVs also have similar problems? Also, when new virus, trojans are found, do these free sites respond quickly with updates..as Norton and McAfee do? KathyD Tag: The info everyone needs.... Tag: 34499

Unfortunately I stupidly infected myself when I opened the attachment the first time I got the email on the 18th but I managed to disinfect my computer and downloaded the updated virus definitions from Norton. So although I have bocked the senders on my email program and Norton is intercepting and disinfecting, I am still getting huge amounts of the emails in my deleted folder and constantly getting the Norton popups saying that it has cleared an infected email. It is driving me to distraction. Will it ever stop? Can I get it stopped at the server so that it doesn't even get to my computer or do I have to change my e-mail address which would be a real pain, not only to notify everyone but also because I have quite a few subcriptions to various things.

ZoneAlarm has an option to hide the "private header". I'm using IE6 with latest updates. Does WindowsXP Pro with latest updates have any ability to help a computer resist the urge to answer a ping? Thanks in advance for your time and help. Tag: The info everyone needs.... Tag: 34450

 - Testing security I apologize for asking this question. In a post from several days ago about setting up better security there was a site listed that actually tested several different security issues. I thought I added it to my Favorites but I can't find it. I also can't find the older post. Can anyone point me to a free, legitimate testing site? Thanks and I will record this information this time. Tag: The info everyone needs.... Tag: 34446

 - I-Worm.Swen http://www.viruslist.com/eng/viruslist.html?id=88029 "The worm scans all disks for files with extensions DBX, MDX, EML, WAB and also that contain either HT or ASP in the extension. Swem then extracts any email addresses that it can find and saves them" That is how it gets the email addresses on infected machines. So if user had newsgroups or emails downloaded locally like most do when you read messages. This virus scans the local folders (.dbx files in Outlook Express) on infected machine, and that is how it gets email addresses for its spam. Tag: The info everyone needs.... Tag: 34442

 - How to lock out teen-age kids from downloading Instant Messaging from IE Is there a way to lock someone from going into the internet via Internet Explorer? My husband and I need internet access for work therefore, we access the internet via Internet Explorer. We don't have AOL and MSN. However, Instant Messaging download can be obtained as soon as kids go to the internet via Internet Explorer. We want these teenagers locked out of the internet altogether. Please help!!! Tag: The info everyone needs.... Tag: 34436

Those of you being smart asses about this situation
because you don't have it and THINK you have the solution
are complete morons.

This worm infects through file sharing progams. The
victim does not have to open ANYTHING to start it.

I receive nearly 200 of these infected e-mails per day.
Since this happens, important e-mail does not go through.

I have tried numerous applications that have been posted
on this newsgroup (which are greatly appreciated) but
each one has never detected a virus or worm running on my
computer.

IF ANYONE HAS A VALID ANSWER TO STOP THIS PLEASE POST IN
A HEADER TO HELP THOSE THAT ARE EXPERIENCING THIS.

SMART ASS COMMENTS ARE NOT WELCOME.
