Advice re: possible worm???
Wednesday, September 17, 2003 by goodmorphing | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
Suddenly IE won't work at all. I have tried sys restore. Cannot access online virus scan. Norton not finding anything at all. I was thinking about re-installing from disc, but if it is a worm or virus it might wipe out the disc. What should I do?
word works, defrag works, sys restore works, netscape works, trillian works.
If this comes through underlined it is not intentional...

do you think I should get a different firewall, or it was probably the modem?

goodmorphing: Please enable a firewall as soon as possible, OK? You don't want anymore trouble.

Wow...this was like one of those best-seller novels that you couldn't put down until you got to the end, and found out whodunnit! 
Glad there was a happy ending here.
btw GM...love that first image (above).

Just to be sure, I did an online scan and came up clean.
I have one problem though. I can only open the browser once, and then if I want to open it again, I have to reboot. This happens with firewall enabled and disabled.

OK Annie, will let it slide this time... 
GM- I think the firewall and the connection settings in IE are still a little wacked. Make sure in your firewall only one network is showing. Do the same in Control Panel/Network Settings. Make sure only one is showing. Also make sure that modem process isn't running in Task Manager everytime you start IE.......if it is we'll have to figure a way to kill it.

Ok....go to Start/Run and type Msconfig. When it comes up click on Startup....look for that .exe and uncheck it. When ever you re-boot after that it won't start (although the first time you reboot it will ask you if you want to make the changes permanent)
