Greetz, i have some serious virus/trojan problems, after a clean hard format + maxblast, i install my windows and my virusscanner( i tried several times, AVG, Mcaffee, Norton 2004 ) which i update immediatly, i directly get virus warnings, every 5 seconds almost, my computer starts to f--- up in the first hour of a fresh install... this is not very normal i think, the viruses he finds are RANDEX, BAT.TROJAN, IRC TROJAN, SASSER, KORGO etc... many more, how is this possible??? what can i do except for throwing my mobo out...

sp1tf1re, After you reformatted the first thing you should have done is gone to the Windows Update site and downloaded & installed all of the Critical Updates. Tufenuf

the problem is, that i cannot connect to internet without immediately getting the different viruswarnings...so an update is impossible before the viruses start kicking in... what else is a possibility

sp1tf1re, Follow the instructions at the link below which should be of help and may at least get you up and running to download the patches specified at the link as well as the Removal Tool. Windows XP Users: What to Do If Your Computer Has Been Infected by Sasser Tufenuf

You have to dump your system restore: http://download.nai.com/products/mcafee-avert/SystemHelpDocs/DisableSysRestore.htm scroll down for XP instructions. Do not re-enable it until you are certain you are clean. Then follow Tufenuf's plan on getting to Sasser, or, if you have done that already --immediately-- disable your sytem restore files.... Obviously your default Xp firewall is not doing its job. I use this: Free Sygate firewall: http://smb.sygate.com/products/spf_standard.htm Here are some free anti-trojan tools, very effective: Trojan Scan: http://www.windowsecurity.com/trojanscan/ SWATIT: http://swatit.org/download.html You should also be running and updating Adaware and Spybot no longer than every three days--update them every three days or they are not effective. Use thse diagnostic tools to see of your browser is totally stealthed. if you don't use an adaquate firewall this is going to continue. Diagnostics: Jason’s Browser Security Test: http://www.jasons-toolbox.com/BrowserSecurity/ Gibson tests: http://www.grc.com/default.htm I use LeakTest, DCOMbobulator, ShieldsUp, and UnplugNpray Thresher
