stop using IE\n\nANTI VIRAL\n\nAVG (free) http://free.grisoft.com/\n\n\nFIREWALL \n\nZoneAlarm http://www.zonelabs.com/store/content/company/products/znalm/freeDownload.jsp\n\nWEB BROWSER - http://www.mozilla.org/products/firebird\n\nEMAIL  use thunderbird.

Use WPA encryption (WPA-PSK) it's less crackable then WEP.\n\n2. Make a passphrase that is upper & lower case and has some numbers thrown in there as well, again harder to crack.\nsome like mAkE1t5eCurE0rel53 and as long as possible.\n\n3. Use MAC access control so only you or authorized PC's can connect (even if you do have encryption turned on)\n\n4. Turn off DHCP use static addresses.\n\n5. Turn off SSID (and change it) unless your card really needs it (some do)\n\n6. Change username/password of access unit front end\n\n7. Ensure you have the usual firewall enabled on your PC.\n\n8. Paranoia rules, turn WLAN off if your not using it :)\n\n\none last tip\ncontrol panel---administrator tools--services--messenger\n\nright clik on it\nstop the service\nthen disable it\nsave changes

Im sorry 2 say this friend but Norton is impossible 2 completely uninstall.......   even the offical sites removal tool doesn't do it.........  the only way 2 completely uninstall Norton (also AOL) is 2 do a complete format of the drive it is installed on and reinstall everything again  (By the way Norton is 1 of the worst Antivirus programs on the market, and slows down your system by about 20% , u want 2 ue something like PcCillin or Panda)

1) Run your antivirus software and wait for it to flag the virus.\n\n2) Figure out the correct name for the virus (www.iamanweb.com isn't it).  It should be something like "w32.nimda.a@mm", or something similar.\n\n3) Go to http://www.symantec.com and search for information on the virus under the "viruses and risks" section.  Usually, they'll offer progs you can download to get rid of the virus.  They generally tack on some information about any further damage it may have done to your computer and how to repair that.\n\nGood luck.

It's best to scan with several virus/spyware programs. There's several online ones free that you can use. I like panda and bitdefender best because they've found the most viruses. Bitdefender is slower but supposedly high rated. Norton causes crashes on startup sometimes. AVG is a lemming that tells you where the virus is and doesnt really remove it. Adaware is best for removing spyware.\nhttp://www.jimmyr.com/security.php

First use the antivirus and antispyware software you have to run a full system scan. Do it in the windows safe mode. (AVG and avast antivirus softwares are free while a 6 month free trial for Norton is available at pack.google.com. Lavasoft's free Ad-Aware is the best antispyware to my knowledge. Also Windows Defender from Microsoft is good enough for real-time protection). This should identify the problem and most probably would solve it as well. However, if the antivirus software is unable to delete the malware, go to Norton's website and search for the name of the malware detected. Their must be some instructions posted to tackle the problem. You might have to delete the system restore points and as well delete the particular registry entries manually if the virus still regenerates on subsequent boot up of the machine. Good Luck.\n\nPS. If you are still having trouble, use Hijack This and copy the log it generates and post it on some tech help forum. I am sure there will be plenty of people ready to help you out.\n\n_____________________________________________________\n\nAnd please after excorsizing your lost pc, do give Firefox internet browser a try. It is free, more secure, highly customizable (using extensions) and a better overall internet experience.

If you already have an older version of Norton installed, then  that's your problem.  Go to the Symantec web site and downlaod their removal tool.  Hopefully, this will work.  It didn't work for me.

Not a virus - but it is part of the spyware family - and will infect you with various spyware's malware hijackers trojans etc etc\n\nsame family as spyaxe - terribly difficult to get rid off\n\ntry a couple for spyware sweepers to get rid of it - spybot and lava soft adaware\n\nbefore you do a scan of your system - turn off you system restore - then do a scan then if it shows up - remove it - also do a scan with your norton and also delete the entries\n\nrestart your computer and turn back on your system restore\n\nhopefully this may get rid of the pestky thing\n\nps.  dont worry alot of people have been duped into paying for rouge spyware sweepers which comes out with false positives\n\norganisations are looking for these programs and there have been a number of arrests and very large fines\n\ntry to download from a trusted web site that checks it's software out before posting - look below

Probably it's a hacker. But remember Norton is not as good as some people belive. Here you have some good and free programs:\nhttp://askcomputerexpert.ws43.com/download/

Are you using Internet Explorer? Also have you got your broadband disc to install your broadband again?If so e-mail me as i had the exact same problems. Have you a disc for Norton Internet Security?

Download one of the following apps, run their individual scans, and it should remove the worm:\n\neWido Security Suite\nNorton Antivirus\nAdaware\nSpyBoT Search and Destroy\n\n(Sorry, I have no links available, but I'm sure you can download them by searching for the name)

you don't mention which trojan you have so it will be hard for anyone to give specific information.\n\nA trick that I've used in the past when AVG stumbled across an infected file that it couldn't delete or quarantine is:\n\n1. Copy the entire contents of the affected folder, minus the infected file (select all, then whilst holding the ctrl key, click on the infected file, then right click one of the highlighted files & select 'copy').\n\n2. Create a new folder on the desktop & paste what you've copied into that folder.\n\n3. Write down the exact name & location of the folder containing the affected file, and then delete the entire folder. (if this doesn't work, check the 'read only' status in properties - it should be unchecked.\n\n4, Rename the folder that you copied the files to, to the name of the folder that you deleted, then cut it, and paste it in the same location as the folder you deleted. \n\nYou should now have everything as it was before, minus the infected file.\n\nThe above assumes that you have tried & failed in manually deleting the affected file in windows explorer - if not, try that 1st, remembering to check the read only status of the file.\n\nEDIT: I gotta agree with ashutosh. I'm a former norton user who converted to AVG - after 18 months I've had a small fraction of the grief that i experienced with norton products.

Go to Control Panel.  Go to Install/Remove.  Remove the software.  Download AVAST! Anti Virus scanner that is free off the Internet.  Run AVAST.  Delete anything that it tells you to.  Good luck.  Sydney

Get Norton Internet Security 2006 (if you don't have it)Run A Full System Scan Then Quarantine It Then Send It To Symantec So They Can Analyze And Resolve The Problem.

You mean you want to use Microsoft's malicious software removal tool to get rid of the virus.  My first recommendation is don't use any of Microsoft's tools.  Instead, get AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition, http://free.grisoft.com/ and use it to remove the virus.  That is, if you don't already have Norton or other anti-virus application and if you do then it should be able to remove it.

u may try disabling script blocking. and if it doesn't work, then do what i did a year ago - DUMP NORTON!!!!\ntry Avast [avast.com] or AVG antivirus [grisoft.com]\nboth are terrific, and both are absolutely free.\nelse, if u really feel like spendin money, then u may opt for McAfee.\nwhats better, if u are fond of your Norton, then check the symantec help desk [norton's official website, u'll find the address in the readme].\nu may as well try disablin the script blockin, as well as check for ur browser's settings. [but i'm not sure if this will work].\nSIMPLY CHANGE THE ANTI VIRUS MAN!!
