HEEEEEYYYYYYY -

Just say NOTHING if you want RICKAMAVEN to take over as LORD OF DISCIPLINE and E-Chick can be his assistant monitor.

FYI - not that you can't post a reply now, I figure you can by proxy, I'm just going to time it to see how long it takes.

p.s. I still have to laugh my @$$ off every time I think of that post where Marla called you @$$holi ... that was just too friggin' hilarious ... she was so peeved that she didn't see the humor in it at the time ...

rick as Lord of Discipline?!? Maybe Totem of the Mambie Pambies,High Priestess of the Touch Feelies,The Chaplin of Cheap Smokes, or the Lama of Leaning Left Liberalism but NEVER the Lord of Discipline.

It requires one to be RIGHT! Something that even a stopped clock would win 2-1 on a daily basis!

I'm back ... at least for the time being, but I am still having major problems. USAHOG ... does this sound familiar???

I'm still working on getting the 'tweaks' out of my new ISP, and am not having much luck. It won't connect sometimes --- (and it's supposed to aways be on), I'm getting about 25 viruses a day just surfing my regular sites (I have no idea where they are coming from, thank God for Norton Antivirus), and my computer will just freeze-up and the mouse and keyboard won't work either!

If we can't get this straightened out soon (I have 30 days to cancel), I'm going to try another provider ... and you all know what that means!

This totaly sucks ...

Speaking of virusis ... just now, I got two virus alerts as I was sending the previous post.

It says it's a 32.OPASERV virus and a W32.OPASERV.G.WORM virus that effects my win.ini file.

I run the full system scan at least three times a day, it says they are 'cleaned' up or deleted, but the alerts keep popping up ...

... I'm getting really frustrated.

Some of the other alerts that I keep getting are are for brasil.pif, macro!.scr, instit.bat, among others, but they all seem to be related to the virus I stated above ...

Slim

Go to http://www.sarc.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.opaserv.worm.removal.tool.html and download the opaserv removal tool. Then reboot windows into safe mode (hit F8 as it is rebooting) and run this tool. You probably are not getting the virus over and over again, it's just that your system is already infected and NAV notices it again and again because it has not been able to remove it.

Lenny --- thanks for the great advice, but this is one persistant 'worm' ...

I downloaded and installed the patch, rebooted, then ran the 'fix'. I even ran it several times to make sure ...

... I also ran the the full system scan several times, and it said there were no viruses.

But, as soon as I came to this site and started posting, all the virus warnings I mentioned above came right back!

I just don't get it ...

slim get a firewall, go to www.sygate.com and download their free version, it prevents anything on your computer going out unless you allow it, and also prevents anything coming in unless you specifically initiate it. This is a must for all high-speed users!!

And you might want to try and update your Norton, they might have new virus definitions that your version doesn't have. Try the "Live update" feature in the help menu.

cwilhelmi --- I have the Norton Personal Firewall and the Norton Antivirus 2003 that came with SystemWorks Professional that I just bought about a month ago ... and I do the live update at least once a week.

... will these do?

Slim... they should be fine... are they set to be running in the background at all times?... if the firewall is functioning properly you may occasionally get notices of an attack on your system and that the firewall blocked it... I don't think that I have ever got a notice of a virus except when going thru e-mail and Norton does a good job of notifying you and quarantining the offending email... will occasionally run across a website with malicious content and it automatically shuts down my browser... just have to start it back up. Don't know if any of this helps.

Did you get the software before or after you were attacked? if it was after then I'm baffled!! Norton makes great virus software but I've never used their firewall, I assume it's just as good.

Good luck man, that sucks!!

This is just too bizarre ...

I have done everything as stated at the Symantec site on this virus. I followed their instructions to the letter. I installed their patch for WinME, ran their removal tool, and it says my computer is virus free.

But, as soon as I start surfing the net (I don't even open email) ... the virus warnings keep popping up, one after the other. I have done this a half dozen times now ... this is one persistant 'worm' ...

I guess I can use Symantecs support line, but they want $5 a minute, or $40 per session ... what a rip!

I have run into similar virus alert issues. I had Norton AV several years ago, and I couldn't do anything online without a virus alert. I had to call their tech service a dozen times.

Finally they discovered that my particular computer OS set up was decyphering incoming code in a way that alerted the virus scan firewall. It had nothing to do with an actual virus.

I had to go into "advanced settings" and tell the virus program to ignore certain types of incoming messages and programs to avoid the alert messages. Took a heck of a long time.

When I upgraded to McAfee later, I never had any more problems. Norton used to have it's own OS years ago. The differences between Norton and Microsoft caused a lot of compatibility problems in later programs.

Apparently some anti virus programs have compatibility problems with some computer platforms and operating systems.

OK ...

I've been working on this problem 'full-time' for the past 'several' days ... and here are the results.

I ran three different antivirus programs. The first was Norton, the second was McAfee ... and both said my computer was clean.

Then, I downloaded the 30-day trial RAV program ... and ran it.

It came up with two more viruses that the other two couldn't find ... iframe.exploit (twice) and Win32/neworm_21@mm. The funny thing is ... the latter one was a virus that was infecting one of Norton's 'protect' files ...

So far, it looks like I've got it licked ... but time will tell.

Thanks to all for your help ... and especially DrMaddVibe ... for steering me to Reliable AntiVirus. Even though (by their own claim) they are rated the #2 antivirus program on the market, they were the ones that corrected my problem.

I wonder who's #1???

Now to work on gettting the 'bugs' worked out of my new DSL provider ...

Glad to hear it's working for you!
