Not sure about forum to use

Hi All. I suspect my computer has been hijacked because of some weird messages from my firewall about my computer trying to access the internet without my permission. I am not sure if this should be posted to a software forum or a technical forum. Although I am computer illiterate I'm afraid I'm a bit of a click and try person when I get a problem (even in the registry). When I finally find the correct forum I think I can remember the whole sequence of events. I have already downloaded Highjack This. Regards Jiminat

 

:wave and welcome to MG's..

 

Hi. Thanks to Wildwolf and Kestrel for your replies. Sorry I haven't acknowledged earlier but I've been busy going through the cleanup operation.
It appears to have worked for the moment. No weird messages from Zone Alarm yet. I still cannot uninstall the moody copy of Microsoft Office Pro 97 that I have on my system but I'm not too concerned about that. I only wanted to get rid of a file called findfast and I've done that.
Regards Jiminat

I have TCP/IP issues, am unable to get online. -system w/WinXPsp2...downloaded winsockxpfix didn't help still unable to log on...netdiag/test:winsock/v <232> [FATAL] Cannot find TCP/IP configuration from the registry.

 

You should really start your own thread in software. Welcome aboard.

 

Thank you. What is the best way to start a thread here?

 

Thank you... I have now set up a new thread...how do I get answers to my problems?
