No good. Install either Zonealarm or Kerio if you go for Kerio (my choice) select "Advanced" during install, it lets you decide what comes in or out of your machine.

Now thats for firewall right? I now have 1 anti-virus thing, 2 anti-spyware things, 1 firewall (basic windows one). So download Kerio?

**Buzz1927** · 06-10-2005, 01:11 AM

Yes, or Zonealarm, read what I said about Kerio asking permission, as Zonealarm will do, only allow what you know and expect, should sort nthe problem.

Ok. Thanks. I will download that when I have some time.

**Buzz1927** · 06-10-2005, 01:26 AM

As a matter of urgency??

Lol, I was just saying that for something to say. It's downloaded, but wow. Every damn time you try to go somewhere the thing pops up 54468468 times asking for permission. Even though you can set it to like, remember that for IE, and Firefox etc, so it wont ask you again. But still, I may set to regular. What do you think?

**Buzz1927** · 06-10-2005, 01:48 AM

Yeah, it's a pain to begin with, but after a day a two, you won't even notice it. Just check everything before ok'ing it.
(Sounds like Zonealarm, try kerio)

Hello · 06-10-2005, 02:03 AM

It's actually Kerio. I un-installed Kerio, and am gonna re-install. So you think I should do Advanced again? Even though I un-installed it to do the other one lol.

You've had some viruses (AVG/aimfix have picked up), and spyware (dialers at a minimum). Your AIM password has been compromised as well.

I suggest you get your system clean by using you AVG to run a FULL system scan, and also the MS antispyware, (a full scan, there's a "scan options" link below the "run scan now" button, goto more option and run a full scan). Disconnect your internet connection from the back of your computer when you run the scans (make sure AVG and MS antispyware are updated first).

After that, plug you Internet connection back in, and get that firewall software setup. And yes it will ask you stuff for a few days. During those days, just get online to normal sites and email, no porn/gambling/filesharing for a few days, until you get all setup and things are running nice & happy.

After your firewall is installed, you MUST change your AIM password, (you'll hopefully be free from malware at that point). Use a strong password (letters and numbers and symbols as well, at least 6 or 8 characters long, That will make it VERY difficult for him to crack it).
