Stef,

Follow these steps.

click to download Ad-aware
http://www.download.com/3000-2144- [...] tag=button

1) install Ad-aware



click to run a virus scan
http://security.symantec.com/ssc/h [...] DIJBJQVYEW

2) select 'Scan for Viruses' (accept the ActiveX app that will need to
install)



Run both scans daily or weekly (no longer)



There are many free apps that do both of these functions. If you don't like
these two, choose two others. Also, use multiple spyware removal apps to
catch all spyware (others similar to Ad-aware, not the on-line virus scan. I
suggest investing in an anti-virus tool such as Norton's Anti-Virus)

First, you need to understand what happened, and it's very good that you
ask how it happened - we need to know what happened, and knowing what
malware you actually got would tell us a lot about how it happened.

In most cases there are just a few paths:

1) Direct connect to your computer from the Inetnet or another infected
machine in your network.

2) You browsed to a malicious site and something ran or you click on
something to run it - you may not have know about it at the time.

3) You were using another program and clicked on a malicious link or on
an attachment in an email which ran something....

If you have cable/dsl you need at least a NAT Router installed between
your internet connection device and your computer

If #2 - then you need a different browser, use FireFox for any site that
you can, some banking sites need IE, but most everything works with
FireFox.

If #3 - then you need to use a different product, update that product,
or you need AV software that scans email and removes things before you
get them. Many cheap AV software doesn't scan email as it comes in to
your PC, get one that does. You also need one that stays resident, gets
frequent updates (nightly), and to learn about using non-Microsoft email
and browser clients.

Bad advice for anyone that uses Outlook Express. Email scanning offers NO
additional protection and can and will corrupt Outlook Express. It would
seem to me that you would know that, Leythos.

In Task Manager, click on the Processes tab then on the CPU column heading.

Which processes are consuming the most CPU?

It seems to work for all of the people we know using OE with NAV and
Symantec and AVG products - not one corruption on any of them.

State that on an OE newsgroup and see what happens.

I can state it anywhere I want, as I have actual experience that none of
the users we know have any issues with it, none at all. While most of
our clients, their friends, and family we know, do not experience any
issues, it could be due to the fact that their systems are not already
compromised.

I have more than 80 residents between two sororities that are using OE
with Norton AV and AVG (and one with Panda) that are not having any
issues with it, not last year and not this year.

If you know people that are having problems, maybe they have other
stability issues with their system.

Per Norton....

Norton AntiVirus email scanning is not compatible with Internet service
providers using Secured Socket Layer protocol
Situation:
You have an Internet service provider (ISP) that uses the Secured Socket
Layer (SSL) protocol to download email to its incoming POP3 server. When you
configure Norton AntiVirus email scanning to scan email attachments, the
program does not appear to scan email attachments. You may also see the
error message "An encrypted email connection has been detected. Please see
help for more information on how to transmit encrypted email."

Solution:
Norton AntiVirus email scanning does not work with an ISP that is using the
SSL protocol. Also, Norton AntiVirus email scanning will only scan email
that arrives on default ports 110 or 25.

If your ISP uses the SSL protocol, then you must disable email scanning in
order to send and receive email. Read the document Turning on or turning off
email scanning in Norton AntiVirus for information on how to disable email
scanning.

Thanks for the info - I have never run into anyone using a SSL
connection to pull POP email.

Get a real ISP, then!

Mine's been using SSL for 2 yrs+.

I don't need a mail server from an ISP, I have my own email server. I've
not seen many of the big ones providing SSL instructions on their
support sites.

Maybe you would want to post who your provider is so that we could look
at how they have it setup?
