Wierd problems with antivirus and internet

akodozealot · 01-21-2007, 07:09 AM

Hello,
Let me open with the fact that i'm a 100% total ignorant when it comes to computers, so and I am really unsure where this problem should go on this site. Morever, thanks for your help in advance.
Now, I have been surfing the web when a strange thing happened. Firstly, my AVG anti-virus doesn't update anymore. When I try to update him it tries to connect and gets stuck there, under 'connecting'. In the past it didn't have any problems, and checks from Spybot and AVG Anti-spyware don't solve the problem.
Morever, some internet sites just doesn't work... for example, www.Amoka.net just don't want to load, both on IE and on Firefox.
Your help appreciated,
Akodozealot

Sorry for double but for some reason I can't edit...
Anyway, anotther problem is that, for example, I tried accessing www.leasticoulddo.com by using google search, and it got me to this place:

Hi and welcome to TSF.

It is possible that some malware may be causing your problems. I would suggest you download HijackThis - this program will help us determine if there is any spyware/malware on your computer.

Create a folder at C:\HJT and move HijackThis.exe there.
Make sure you close down EVERY open window and close ALL browser windows. The only thing that should be open is the HijackThis program.
Run a scan and save the log file.
Copy the text file (Ctrl+A then Ctrl+C) and paste it (Ctrl+V) in a new thread in the HJT Forum (do not attach it or post it here).
Do not fix any entries in HijackThis since they may be harmless.

Make sure to include the System information at the top of the log as well.

We'll then have a look and provide instructions to clean your system, if required. Please note that the HJT forum is constantly busy, so I would ask that you be patient while waiting for a reply.

I edited that live link - since it was an adult site I didn't want folks going there (unless on purpose...)

Thanks, i'll do that shortly. And about the site, the fact that its an adult site and NOT the siftware site it should be is the main problem...
One thing, should I post the HijackThis log at the post itself, or should I PM it to someone or something?
With thanks,
Akodo

Just create a new thread in the HJT Forum and post your log there. Include details about what's happening - that will help the analyst.
