VIRUS Prob

Hello everyone,

As the title states, I have a virus problem, but I don't know what to do abou tit.

I use Norton Sysytem Works 2001, with the LATEST updates through LIVEUPDATE.

This screen has just started popping up, and I dont even know what program is finding it. Something to do with MSN Messenger.

This screen pops up about every 5 minutes now.

(And yes, I have scanned my HDD twice with Norton using "Program FIles Only" and "All Files")

Could also be you don't have a firewall and someone is using Windows Messanger service to send them to you.

Make sure you have ports 137 - 139 UDP and TCP blocked.

I use ZoneAlarm, and it's always on.

How do I block those ports?

Delete your cookies and temp internet files. For some reason that virus was in many forms including as a cookie downloaded on certain websites.

Try that and it should take care of the problem for you, if not let us know.

Click to expand...

At the Advanced button.
But to see if it's ZA or not, just disable it and try agin. If it does the same thing, it's not a firewall issue unless you're on XP and have it's firewall setup.

i had that once

one of my p2p programs downloade half of a file and wouldnt give up access right to it or something like that
norton went nuts

so i just deleted it and no more problems
