By the way, what makes you think there is a virus, and what virus is it? You might be able to kill it without erasing everything.




Simply because everyime I logged on to internet Zone Alarm warned me abot the same IP trying to access my PC. All of a sudden that stopped and things started to go hay wire from there on.

I know it's obvious and I'm sure you'll have done it, but did you try back-tracing the IP address that Zone Alarm told you about?

If you find their ISP you can tell them about the abuse and try to get them cut off. I know it doesn't solve your problem but at least the revenge may be some small consolation.

@Tranquil:
Do you have a static IP address?
I doubt it's a virus, probably spyware or backdoor..or both. You can look through Windows start up programs, see if there is anything fishy there...

Anyhow, good luck
If I had all the answers, I wouldn't have any questions.
