3 Malware (Possibly More) On My PC - Need Help!
Here's what I have running at all times:
AVG Anti Spyware AVG Free Zone Alarm I also use Firefox & I'm running XP Media Centre Edition (SP2). Something seems to have gotten past all these though. I have been playing this certain MMORPG (Guild Wars) now for around 2 years without any problems at all, but during the past 2 weeks the game has been CONSTANTLY (every 15 mins or so) disconnecting and sending me back to the login screen. The weird thing is, that when this happens the rest of the Internet still works fine (e.g. browsing websites, using MSN Messenger etc). Although, just now it happened once again & my whole Internet wouldn't run including websites, MSN Messenger etc. Anyway, I figured it must be a virus or something, so I rebooted into Safe Mode, turned off System Restore & scanned my PC using the following programs: Ad-Aware 2008, AVG Free, AVG Anti Spyware & Spybot. The only program that found anything was Ad-Aware (as shown in the picture below) ![]() I then clicked "REMOVE" & rebooted into normal mode, but the problem is still ocurring. Before I removed the programs, I did a broadband speed test (I'm using 8mb Cable Broadband) & the speed seemed EXTREMELY slow, like something was limiting my connection: ![]() AFTER I removed the program I did another speed test & the speed seems to have increased, although for 8mb Broadband it still seems very slow: ![]() What else do I need to do to prevent these connection drops from ocurring? Thanks in advance! |
