PC probs again.

<< < (2/3) > >>

Manicminer:
Maybe your Firewall is locking you out.

Edge:
Finally.... PC is formatted and everything is now reinstalled :D . Its back to its usual speed, pages load correctly and i can check my mail again.
I was using windows xp firewall, perhaps that let something through??? I now have a seperate firewall that is stopping all traffic both ways, it then asks me whether to allow it or not :D  :D
BY THE WAY, when I connected to TRENDMICRO it asked me to install some sort of JAVA in order to scan my pc. I installed the JAVA, then trendmicro stopped working and I had repeated attacks from someone trying to install LSASS EXPLOIT & another EXPLOIT (cant remember which one), but they were trying every 3-5 or so seconds. Perhaps it was actually trendmicro??? but my antivirus kept blocking them.
RIGHT GUYS/GALS I SHALL NOW LOG INTO MEMBERS MAP AGAIN & SEE WHAT HAPPENS THIS TIME.

Tredn Micro is a bit on the funny side, have seen it cause problems before now. Take it off and give AVG a go.

Also get a copy of Spybot S&D installed and updated and run that. Re-installing a PC for that is a little extreme :)

spy:
If your on broadband buy a router with a built in firewall.  For the sake of £40 with a constant connection and hardware firewall its worth it.  Just to be over paranoid I also run avg free ("free" being the best bit!!) and zonealarm free.  Never had any grief so far!

Edge:
Cheers everyone, Yes I have used avg before, but never tried zone alarm. I will look into a router with built in firewall. The firewall I have installed at the moment has blocked (in 10 mins) 47 intrusions with 8 being high risk, no make that 48 " just had another one".
When I relied on the windows firewall, it never blocked one programme, so i thought everything was fine.
Anyway....fingers crossed, I wont have anymore problems. :D
