I use Zonealarm and it keeps coming up asking me if I wnat to let wowex32 to access the internet. I do not know what this program is. I have noticed that my computer shuts down and starts when ever it want to. Please help me this is getting very crazy. I must tell you I am not very good on computers so make it easy for me :o) Thank you

Sounds like the worm MSblast or something awhile back, but that was with Win XP, is that what you're running, if so, visit the XP forum for more help! However, from what I understand, wowexec.exe is a program win xp uses to run 16 bit programs under 32 bit system? Guys, someone can concur with me on this, or am I mistaken? If you hit cntrl-alt-delete, then look under processes, there was a MSblast file running if you had it, but you are running zonealarm, so it should have caught it? Warhorse

war horse this is the m.e forum!!!!!!! and ms blaster did not and dose not afect m.e at all !!!!!!!! to the main poster. you should d/l spybot search and destroy and update it,and run it. this should get rid of any spy ware on your system. next try these links to on line virus and trojin scans free trojin scan http://www.trojanscan.com/trojanscan/scanner.htm panda scan http://www.pandasoftware.es/activescan/ housecall http://housecall.trendmicro.com/housecall/start_corp.asp nrav av http://www.ravantivirus.com/scan/ avast cleaning tool http://www.avast.com/i_idt_171.html mcafee avert stinger http://vil.nai.com/vil/stinger/ scans for open trojin ports http://scan.sygate.com/pretrojanscan.html test my sheilds grc https://nanoprobe.grc.com/x/ne.dll?bh0bkyd2

Wawadave, if you read my post, you will see that I DID mention that was with XP?! Just was saying it sounded something LIKE Msblast, but that was with XP, I knew it didn't affect ME, I have both ME and XP, and thankfully my ME home machine didn't have to go through all the BS I did with the XP machine to get rid of it...
