Hello.
My mother somehow got the Bagle.bq virus. What does it do, and how do I delete this? Google came up with nothing of value.

Also, our EZ firewall pops up on startup asking what to do with New IP Address 225.225.254.0/69.161.18.0. What is this? And how do I deal with it? I can't log onto the internet without allowing it.

Why anti-virus companies can't agree on a naming standard, I don't know -

Check out this link and look at the Recovery tab.

I am really worried. Someone said that just by using MSN Messenger they can find out your IP address and compare it with others on the same computer because I have one address for my friends and a fake one for talking to just anybody. Is this true. Please reply I am really scared. Laura

Laura-

In fact, it could be true. If something happens, like your firewall detects a hacker intrusion, call your ISP and ask them to change the IP.
