Zone Alarm and AVG failed me today - GoFuckYourself.com

mardigras · 06-15-2005, 06:55 PM

I am still in the process of rebuilding everything.

Whatever happened blocked me from being an administrator, making any msconfig changes, accessing System in Control Panel, turned off Restore and Microsoft Anti-Spyware and AVG and deleted all of my restore points as well as corrupted any attempt at restoring existing internet access... I finally managed to reinstalled XP and am working on reinstalling everything else... this totally qualifies as sucks.

On a happier note, 6 and a half hours later I am saying hi to you guys

I feel your pain. Just went through same horseshit last weekend.

Is there any utility you can use to test if your computer is vulnerable? I have used various software firewalls, but I always wonder if they are doing any good.

Saved everytrhing to my USB drives ... Will have a clean system .. for a few months.

I am fanatical about daily scans and keeping up with updates. Whatever this was, it still got me.
