Dear Members

 

Virus checks and removal tips

 

Online Virus Cleaner : Now you can scan and clean ur pc against virus and spywares for free using this online virus cleaner. Check http://www.trendmicro.com/en/home/us/home.htm

 

another way to check if u have a dormant virus/worm around but undetected by known anti-virus, malware, spyware busters

 

DO THE FOLLOWING STEP BY STEP

 

from start button

Enter and press [type] RUN

then enter CMD

then give netstat -n

[that is netstat a space and -n]

 

 

if u find a report like this

 

Active Connections

 

Proto Local Address Foreign Address State

TCP 125.22.76.204:1985 72.14.253.125:5222 ESTABLISHED

TCP 125.22.76.204:1990 216.155.193.139:5050 ESTABLISHED

TCP 125.22.76.204:1992 68.142.233.157:443 ESTABLISHED

TCP 125.22.76.204:1999 202.43.193.120:443 ESTABLISHED

TCP 125.22.76.204:5101 220.226.57.89:3531 ESTABLISHED

TCP 127.0.0.1:1121 127.0.0.1:1122 ESTABLISHED

TCP 127.0.0.1:1122 127.0.0.1:1121 ESTABLISHED

 

 

IT IS VIRUS/WORM FREE

 

but in the last field if instead of Establised u find CLOSE_WAIT or TIME_WAIT OR SYN_WAIT

these are unknown ones even to ur software and can harm ur PC either hard ware or software or both.

 

u can go to ur browser and in

TOOLS MENU look for Internet options

go to Security Tab

then select RESTRICTED SITES

add the IP address of tHe FOREIGN ADDRESS with close_wait, time_wait etc. keep doing this once in a week

but see it once in a day at least protect urself and ur friends by a safe surfing habit

 

Regards
