Hi everyone, I a have two computers at home - a pentium 4 which has a cable
internet connection and a Pentium 2 that is connnected to it through a
network. these last few days however I am having problems with the host
computer ( but not the pentium 2!) as the connection seems to end after only
a minute on the pentium four and I have no internet connectin on the hosdt
computer but I still have on the networked computer.


When I start the PC I also get aninternet explorer window whcih doesn't open
well and a small message comes on it - foofoff!. then when I open the
internet explorer again I get the message page not found.

What can I do?
 
Hi,

Malware is a good possibility. Start by downloading and running CWShredder,
Ad-aware and Spybot. Check for updates before running Ad-aware or Spybot.
See: http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/unwanted.htm
Also note the security tips and other important information on that page.

If unsuccessful with those programs, you may have to post a HijackThis log
for analysis. Start at
http://forum.aumha.org/viewtopic.php?t=4075 Then go to
http://www.aumha.org/a/quickfix.htm Work through the preliminary cleaning
steps then post a HijackThis log to the forum at
http://forum.aumha.org/viewforum.php?f=30

Be patient. It's a busy forum.

HijackThis logs are also analyzed at these (and other) forums. Look for an
"Important- Read This First" message so that you follow proper procedure.
