Sometimes when i connect to the internet, when it is dialing, it will say that the line is busy and try again. I scanner pc and found a dialer, deleted it.

Now tonight i keep being DCed....like every few minutes, have i been hacked?

might have a trojan or some program that keeps requesting internet access....

do a THOROUGH check for anything else that might be dialing out, or containing some sort of trojan

also, check your physical connections

i had a trojan, but deleted it, now its doing it again.

the trojan file may but gone, but it's affect's are still active

run as much virus and spyware stuff as you can

and check for any .exe's made in the past week

and how do i do that weep
Im crap with conputers

in file seach you write *.exe and in detail put last week

yeah, it should identify anything that may have cause the problem

I'm privelaged enough to never have any dialup experience

But yeah, search for anything, and check this thread out, it might help you in your scanning:

Avg cant find anything
File searching looking for .exe in the last month cant find anything.....

you MUST have made an exe in the past month....

not according to this

go to search, and in "file type" select .exe

you have to put "*" there

Make sure you update the AVG virus definitions to the latest version. If it doesn't find anything, you're more than likely clean.

Run Norton Antivirus!

that's like throwing water on your keyboard

ok, i found millions of .exe files created in the last month
now, what am i looking for?

try the last week

anything that looks evil fear

Define evil

I am doing month, last month covers last week and before

anything like... porn.exe or dialer.exe

and it could be located in system folder.

Nothing like that

Think im safe?

I think so. It might just be your ISP which is causing the disconnects. I've never heard of a virus or dialler doing that.

Have you made the switch to Firefox yet? There are still unpatched secuirty holes in IE.

orroz

Im not the only one using net on here, if i switched to firefox and tried to explain.....


Check the analysis for any special details on removal.
Go to Start|Programs|Sophos Anti-Virus and run the Sophos Anti-Virus program.
Select the Immediate tab.
Go to Options|Configuration... select the Action tab, tick 'Infected files', select 'Delete' then click 'OK'.
Click the Go button on the toolbar to start the scan.
Delete the file.
Go back to Options|Configuration... select the Action tab, then deselect 'Infected files' and 'Delete'. Click 'OK'.
Alternatively, find the file in Explorer and press the Shift and Del keys at the same time to delete it.




I dont have sophos anti virus :/

Find it in explorer?

Have you updated the AVG definitions and done a full system scan?

My Avg updates everyday, soon as i come online.
So i think its safe to say its updated as much as i can get it.

I did the 'scan computer' check a few days ago, found the virus, since then it hast found anything, but the day after that i got the 'line is busy' but not since.....

Im checking just C: now, see if its there....

If you're still worried about a virus, then the best option would be to re-install Windows. (Maybe switch to Linux?)

If thats not possible then you'll have to go on what AVG says. Are you able to install Norton?

Not at this moment no. I would prefer the whole re-installation thing but, being a 15 year old male, my computer knowledge is highly limited. Plus, i think a switch to linux would kinda get me in trouble from....them

Firefox works just like IE
I made the switch on the family comp....
Jsut say. "IE sucks, use this for internet from now on..."
Or put a sticky note on the monitor.
