What failed Internet virus

He suddenly takes minutes to connect to mymsn and anything on the network.

Is there a virus that causes this?   Norton says it all goes well...!

Hi Joanne,

If you use Norton for the protection of security, you will need to contact them for support with their product from here: http://us.norton.com/support/.

But in the meantime, I would contact your ISP and see if there is a problem with your internet connection or your modem or your settings that they can help you.  For me, when I get a downturn like this, it's usually a problem with the ISP connection or the server, or the line (or they need to reset my modem/router or check my settings).  Viruses can do (possible other things with your network or other programs that run in the background using bandwidth), but for me it is almost always caused by my ISP.  Also, I found that restarting the modem and the router and then, if necessary, restart the computer is sometimes enough to stop the problem (and most ISP will tell you to try this before even putting a man on the line with you).

I hope this helps.

Good luck

    my friend told me while updatng windows via internet, virus attacks. is this true?

    Hello

    He's probably referring to the malware that can attack a system if no firewall is running the
    the installation is complete. Happened a bit with Windows XP. Vista comes with a completely
    Firewall active and should not have this problem. In fact, the problem was fairly well controlled
    with the active firewall included with Windows XP SP2. Firewalls are active and enabled by
    by default, before the network starts.

    I hope this helps.

  • Everyone knows feat: JS / Blacole.FZ? What is a Virus or a Malware?

    Hello

    I did a full ASNA on my MSE.

    He discovered the above and also serious and gave me the opportunity to remove what I did.

    That would be enough and no matter who else heard of this?

    I also ran Malwarebytes Anti-Malware analysis at the request of [free] and were reported as clean.

    Concerning

    Hi snowshine,

    To answer your question: ' "is it a Virus or Malware?".

    It really isn't, but a feat. Detection for this was created recently.

    "JS/Blacole is a detection of a component of the Blackhole feat kit - one kit used by the attackers to distribute malware. The attackers install the kit on a server, and then when you visit the server compromised, kit tries to exploit various, multiple vulnerabilities on your computer in order to install malicious software. For example, if you locate a site compromise containing the exploit pack using a vulnerable computer, malware could be downloaded and then installed on your computer.

    Generally, the Blackhole exploit kit attempts to exploit vulnerabilities in applications such as Oracle Java, Sun Java, Adobe Acrobat and Adobe Reader.

    For more information on this kit of the exploit and the steps you can take to avoid being compromised, please see the detailed description of the Blacole elsewhere in our encyclopedia... »

    From there:

    http://www.Microsoft.com/security/portal/threat/encyclopedia/entry.aspx?name=js/Blacole
    http://www.Microsoft.com/security/portal/threat/encyclopedia/entry.aspx?name=exploit%3AJS%2FBlacole.FZ

    It's in your Temporary Internet files, then removing it via MSSE or deleting your files TIF would have sufficed - until what you return to the Web page in question. If the malicious software has been downloaded and installed, MBAM probably would have found or MSSE could warn you of the additional problems.

  • What is "Internet Cache" Thunderbird?

    I see this "Thunderbird Internet Cache" file when running CCleaner. It is usually about 12-13MB in size. What is in this file and what is its purpose?

    The cache is basically exactly the same as the browser cache.
    Thunderbird can display the RSS STREAM, which are essentially web sites. Content can be cached.

    Leave messes of CCleaner with the files in the profile of Thunderbird usually is a bad idea.
    If you need clean the cache, to do this via the Options of Thunderbird.
    It is advisable to disable all options of CCleaner for Thunderbird.
    It goes same for Firefox in case you use.

  • Clean install / restore to fail Internet

    I'll put up a 2010 MacBook Pro start as new for a next project. After erasing HD for a clean install, the installer returned a message that says El Capitan could not be verified or may have been corrupted. I resorted to the recovery of the internet, but this is also a message that El Capitan can not be installed due to an error. I don't have a backup time machine small enough to drive on the Mac - is it possible forward here?

    Thanks in advance...

    If the internal collection fails try internet recovery

    for best results, connect your mac directly to your router/modem and suspend any transmission from other devices on your network that can be download or steam.

    Since you have posted in Forum Vista, I will assume that you are using the Vista operating system.

    You can get this information by navigating to the 'Start' menu and selecting 'Security Center' in the 'Control Panel', then you should be able to see what is running (antivirus/antimalware) under the tab "Malware Protection".

  • How can I know what my internet speed?

    I have Windows Vista with internet high speed Verizon with their modem. Verizon said it has 6 Mbps speed, but when I want to watch any kind of video it keeps stopping or loading. Is there a way I can check the speed of my internet connection?

    Hello

    I use http://speedtest.net. Verizon should be able to tell if they slowed down your connection because you have exceeded your limit of connection plan... If you ask them about changing your plan something that suites your needs... Many new plans are cheaper and bigger download limit... Verizon won't tell you unless you ask.

    To adjust your video settings Flash, right click on any Flash object in a web page and select 'Settings', uncheck/check "use hardware accelereation '... Your computer has a "video card"?

    I use a Mobile slow connection... to solve this problem... I click the Stop button on the Flash video first to enable some of the file to download and be buffered... then click on the button "Play" after about 10 seconds.

    Can someone please help me to identify the causes of this. I have configured the VPN tunnel successfully, but I'm not able to browse the internet from LAN. I use the cisco 877 router.

    You shouldn't have a problem with that.

    When you add controls and try to access Internet from 192.168.25.0/24 where the traffic is going?

    Check "sh ip nat trans" to check if there is a translation that is built for your machine and do a traceroute to see how traffic.

    The new configuration should not be a problem, if problems persist, please report it again.
