The computer nerd of the family said he didnt know if they were viruses or not, and I have AVG Pro too, so there's no telling what it was or where it came from (I'm looking into getting Zone Alarm firewall but I need to know if there is any specific port # to access that site or not)Originally posted by evosbmi think those are viruses. you can usually get those on emails from unknown senders. better not open an email if you dont realy know who sent it. those emails usually has intriguing subjects.

you could search for those filenames in the internet and see if it realy is a virus. sometimes though we have an anti-virus, it sometimes fail detecting new viruses that is not included in your virus deffinitions. and when you try to disable your firewall, the full potential of the virus may come out.Originally posted by tracyleeThe computer nerd of the family said he didnt know if they were viruses or not, and I have AVG Pro too, so there's no telling what it was or where it came from (I'm looking into getting Zone Alarm firewall but I need to know if there is any specific port # to access that site or not)

System restore backs up pretty much all files so that's why when you are removing viruses, it's best to disable system restore.Comment
