Guest MrRant Report post Posted January 5, 2003 Download a firewall. Either Zonealarm or Kerio (the one I use) It amazes me that some people don't use them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Flyboy Report post Posted January 5, 2003 Why do you think it was someone from here? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest AM The Kid Report post Posted January 5, 2003 I did, I was just reading up on Symantec that it's a worm that deletes your anti-virus and firewall. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest I'm That Damn Zzzzz Report post Posted January 5, 2003 Scan for viruses too. If you don't have a virus scanner go to either http://www.grisoft.com (a free virus scanner) or http://housecall.trendmicro.com (a free online virus scanner.) Also get Spybot Search and Destroy, it can remove some trojan horses. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest AM The Kid Report post Posted January 5, 2003 I just assumed it would be from here, because this is the only board that I post on and it has my email. I think I figured it out, downloaded a new firewall(thanks Rant), and I put Norton back on. Thank you guys, it's very much appreciated! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
