  #1  
Dec 23rd, 2007
Hi,
I Am Having A Problem, Whenever I Connect To The Net, My Pc Starts To Send Huge Amounts Of Data - The Send Is Conts.
This Although I Havent Opened A Page Yet.
Once I Open Any Browser - Firefox Or Internet - No Site Opens Up.
I Have Tried - Spybot Which Says It Has Removed Some Spyware, Adaware, And Have Checked The Hosts File Also. All To No Effect.
I Require Some More Help Or I'll Have To Wash The Pc

Hi,

Go to below link and download the AVG anti virus free addition. Its a greate antivirus, install it and it will catch some trojans that no other anti virus has even detected (name it macafee, kasparsky, norton ...)

http://www.download.com/AVG-Anti-Vir...g=pop.software
It is never about the number of languages you know, you either have the logic of programming or you don't ...

Some of the codes I post are collected from different sites during the past couple of years, so I would like to thank them for their help and for enabling me to help.

Thanks, I will download AVG.
In the meantime had downloaded HijackThis and ran it.
Did not send it for analysis but selectively deleted files (FIX) which I felt were not required by me. Made mistake and deleted MS Access file, but later reloaded this. Anyway the theft of my PC has stopped since yesterday.

You could also run/install spybot search and destroy which will not allow unauthorised changed to your registry.
