Does This Sound Like A Virus

masspk88 · Jun 8, 2011

My VISTA machine was infected with a virus and Avast eradicated it. Though, often my system will not connect to the internet although my internet meter tells me that I am connected and data is being uploaded and downloaded. In the morning (EST) I am able to connect with no issues. Curious.

I have run SuperAntiSpyware, Adaware and AVAST and they report my system as clean. I am also running IMMUNET but that only works if I am connected.

Any ideas?

Then you MUST uninstall if you plan on keeping Avast.

Okay, I think I followed every instruction and my internet access is still being hijacked. Now what?

You need to attach the requested logs so we can look at your system to determine what needs fixing.
