yep you sure do
"W32.HLLW.Syney@mm is a mass-mailing worm that deletes Windows system files and spreads through Microsoft Outlook"
maybe anyways, worth a look at it.

Turn your messenger service off.

Looks more like spyware than a virus
Post 11
here, since no-one has been nice yet....
right click my computer, go to manage
click services and applications, then double click the services icon on the right..
look for the messenger service, and stop it.
No more annoying popups, which are all lying to you..
btw, RUN A FIREWALL!!! THEY WOULDNT HAVE YOUR IP OTHERWISE!!
also, stop using Internet explorer, and start using firefox/mozilla/opera/safari/whatever other browser tickles your fancy, IE has many many security holes that allow people to do nasty things...

are they watching us?

--[incoming message from people accessing peoples computers and watching you]--
yes...
Post 14
ok, well im already using Opera so that solves that. And i think it's just Messenger Plus 3! so maybe i try uninstalling that :P what's the best / easiest firewall to run?
Post 15
Easiest would be zonealarm in my opinion. As for the best, wait for about 50 different responses, but I'd say go with zonealarm, always done good by me
Post 16
if you are exceptionally lazy, you can run the windows firewall(better then nothing) other then that, run ZA its good and free

Post 20
lol, yeah i started kicking myself when i figgured it out as well.
i had been either putting up with it or reformating for 24 months or so before i realised that all i had to do was double click!!!
Post 21
lol me too, though I should do the reformat to get my c drive back to c instead of d
Post 22

Post 23

Post 24
shehe...i had a problem where my startbar just disappeared...as well as the icons on my desktop...the only way i could think of to fix it was to format!
Post 25
Get rid of Nortons. Run free AVG and free zone alarm. If paranoid like me run xp firewall as well.
Hope it helps.
Post 26
xp firewall? what's wrong with Norton! :(
Post 27
resource hog for starters. i dont like zone alarm either. goddamn intrusive shit. separate box who's only purpose is that of a firewall is what i use.
Post 28
I like zone alarm, what you call intrusive, I call thorough (im presuming you mean it has a cry about anything accessing the net until you tell ZA to let it). And go with AVG, avoid Norton like the plague, especially on gaming systems, (stupid resource hog)
Post 29
so Zone Alarm for virus scan - and AVG for firewall? These are ok on an average gaming / internet machine? Reckon download.com will do these?
Post 30
Except other way around - zone alarm is a firewall and avg is the virus scanner just google them.
