Virus causing LAG

ronnie101 · 02-18-2008, 01:59 AM

I recently got a virus that causes my internet to lag BADLY. My router log is full of "xmas port scan" messages. My friend was on my network, they caught the virus somehow and brought it back to their house, where their internet is now lagging badly, with a router log full of "xmas port scan". I reset the router, since i have dsl i get a new ip, and its good for about 3 min, then the lag happens again. there must be some kinda virus transmitting out my ip. I have norton 2008, but it couldn't find anything, i also tryed symantec. Should i download a trojan remover, or is this spyware, or is a worm? I dont know what to do, any help would be much appreciated. Thank you
