Hey guys ...
Managed to get beaten up by my first virus the other day ..... it disabled all my norton firewall and even windows security centre virus protection ..... which can no longer update security.
i also recieved new microsoft authentification activation messages ... which are probably nothing just coinside with the attack.
i reinstalled norton but it wont allow auto protect
My avast ..that i use for boot time scans can no longer access the net for updates... and most other things cant ... i can only access the net when my firewall is down.
But the biggest problem i see is that my wireless connection says at the bottom of the screen that it has detected wireless networks but when i refresh to list these wireless networks it reads there are none to be found .
i use my brothers netgear which always on .. and status on my poot says it is enabled and sending/recieving with excellent strength .. but says on my veiw wireless networks .. none in range ... i can access when i physically plug in to netgear but my wireless must of been neutralised by the virus although my adaptor says it is working fine.
And finally .. my norton firewall once it had been reinstalled wont let anything get out and when i search for internet accesible programs through norton ... it scans for them but lists nothing... icant permit anything because it finds nothing ... i think the trojan was zlob ........ im wondering if you guys would know what was disabled and how could i reactivate these items ... i can only assume that my firewall and wireless have taken such a Meticulous Beating and it is know very difficult for me to access the net with an efficiant fire wall.
im no expert not even a novice but im thinking maybe it has disabled something that attaches to the adapter and through to my ports ... it may be a port problem .
help me obi one konobi ...your my only hope .....
god speed
please
