Hi all ,
I clicked onto a link for Hugh Wallis`s site from a post of a fellow rootschatter. As soon as I clicked the link up came a message saying that I can update my anti virus software with antivirus 2009. And what did silly me do but click onto it to update. Thought I was doing something I was supposed to to keep my anti virus up to date.
Ever since I done that I had nothing but trouble.[everthing fine now though] I run a scan about ten minutes after updating the anti virus 2009 as I realized by this time that it was nothing to do with my Symantec anti virus. My Symantec anti virus always tells me when I need to update by a little rectangle box saying my anti virus needs updating. I found the Anti Virus 2009 and it was put into Quarantine. I thought that may have fixed it but no. About two weeks later I lost Internet Explorer and couldn't`t receive or send emails. It kept saying This site is experiencing difficulties and cannot find server etc etc. I tried for two days but couldn't`t get onto the Internet. I rang my server and they said everything was O.K from their end. I checked all computer cords,phone line etc but nothing was a miss. I was very frustrated by this stage. I got a computer literate person to come and check it out for me and he said it was a virus. Gord knows how he fixed it but he got it up and running again for me. I have no computer knowledge much at all [ As you can see
] but now I am very wary about anything that flicks into the screen.
It may also have nothing to with this Anti virus 2009 .Who knows.
I love Hugh Wallis`s site and hope he gets it up and running again. I`m not blaming Hugh at all but thought I would tell others of what happened to me. I now have AVG and have reg cleaner also still have Symantec anti virus. Hopefully between the three of them they can seek and destroy any yucky bugs
