    Hi all

    Over the past week everytime I turn on my PC zone alrm does not work immediately, then it starts up, after a couple of days it would not start and I was alerted by windows security centre to a problem, when entering the security centre and pressing on recommendations the using another firewall check box was unticked, so I ticked it and all was well, now this is happening everyday, that box for one reason or another is becoming unticked, when running spybot S&D it picks up

    "Microsoft.windowssecuritycentre.firewalloverride"

    I delete it and carry on as normal, however today I could not get on to the internet at all, until I ran my service providers software program that fixes problems, however once on the internet, other issues started to raise their ugly heads, I tried to reply to an email and could not access the reply box, the cursor kept blinking, but would not allow any writing, then I pressed the back button and the internet shut down as if I had giving it a command to do so, I'm currently running spybot S&D and AVG to see if there is any apparent malware, after that I will run Adaware and C/C, then probably try Eset NOD 32free online scan and removal tool, just wondering if anyone has had this problem before or come across similar a similar problem.

    Regards

    Pozzy

    To rule out malware, please follow the instructions in the READ & RUN ME FIRST link given further down and attach the requested logs when you finish these instructions.
    • If you have problems where no tools seem to run, please try following the steps given in the below and then continue on no matter what you find. You only need to try the TDSSserv steps if having problems getting scans in the Read & Run Me First.
    • If something does not run, write down the info to explain to us later but keep on going.
    • Do not assume that because one step does not work that they all will not.
    READ & RUN ME FIRST. Malware Removal Guide


    Helpful Notes:

    1. If you run into problems trying to run the READ & RUN ME or any of the scans in normal boot mode, you can run the steps in Safe Mode but make sure you tell us what you did later when you post logs. See the below if you do not know how to boot in safe mode:
    2. If you have problems downloading on the problem PC, download the tools and the manual updates for SUPERAntiSpyware, Malwarebytes and Spybot ( links are given in the READ & RUN ME) onto another PC and then burn to a CD. Then copy them to the problem PC. You will have to skip getting updates if (and only if) your internet connection does not work. Yes you could use a flash drive too but flash drives are writeable and infections can spread to them.
    3. To avoid additional delay in getting a response, it is advised that after completing the READ & RUN ME you also read this sticky:
    4. Any additional post is a bump which will add more delay. Once you attach the logs, your thread will be in the work queue and as stated our system works the oldest threads FIRST.
