Hi

Bit vague so apologies in advance. For the last week or so my machine has switched itself off every night at about 2am. Thought this was because it is in a cupboard and gets quite hot so ignored it. Over the last couple of days though whenever I log on MS antispyware tells me about a Winsock change. I do scan and it comes up clean but cant access the internet, quick reboot all sorted. For the past few months I have noticed an un-named application appear for a couple of seconds on the taskbar and then disappear, every minute or so. Due to its speed i can never catch it in Task manager.

I'm running MS antispyware, Windows firewall and AVG Free (but also scanned off Symatec site which came up clean too).

I'm a bit wary incase someone is waiting for me to type a password in to a website or something.

TIA.

Dave

 

dont post on here - we'll all get it now!

 

Adaware and Spybot from download.com or somewhere similar. Run both of these (be careful as they can do harm just read the notes etc) Also get a decent firewall like BlackIce also get another virus scanner. I use Norton now some people will tell you this is cr@p, others will say use Sophos, McAfee etc. Its all personal choice.....I use the above and don't have any problems with Spyware/viruses etc.
